Moving Forward: Why State and County Assemblies Must Grow Together

The State and Their Local Assemblies- Simultaneous, Harmonious, Jurisdictional Existence 

 The growth and standing of both State and County Assemblies is not just a matter of organizational preference—it is a necessity for true self-governance, recognition, and community protection. 

Far too often here recently, confusion, misunderstanding, or convenient non-comprehension leads to unnecessary delays, misplaced priorities, or even the accidental (or possibly intentional) undermining of local or state efforts. It is time to clarify, yet again how these two levels of Assembly development are not only compatible but inseparable.

The Power of Parallel Progress

When people from different counties across a state—whether meeting virtually or in person—work to establish their State Assembly, they are simultaneously supporting their own County Assembly. This is not just a happy accident; it is the very design of the American Assembly process.

State Assembly Standing provides both the lawful and legal diplomatic shield that allows County Assemblies to be recognized, protected, and effective. Without the State Assembly, in this instance, all of its counties are made vulnerable to international exploitation and potential encroachment.

County Assembly activity ensures that local needs, innovations, and realities are represented at the State level, enriching the entire Assembly structure. Without the County Assembly, the truest nature of State Sovereignty is brought firmly into question.

For those people from counties seeking to learn more about how to become a "Model County" is what the Peacekeeping Task Force is working to help provide.

Through the Federation Fiduciary Office - even offering to make ample meeting space to help answer questions is part of what the Resurgence Project is all about.

Interested folks from the various Counties across America actively involved with local Assembly development wanting to get ahead of the curve to help anticipate full State Assembly Standing and County Assembly Standing preparedness is another part of the strategy.

"The two are supposed to be experienced at the same time... as each State Assembly is developed, so too does each of the Counties that have at least one or more status-corrected man or woman who also, themselves participate at the State level especially within committee." — Anna Von Reitz

Addressing Common Concerns & Misunderstandings

No County Should Be Left Behind: Evidence shows that when a County Assembly is ready to stand but the State Assembly is not yet fully formed, there can be a perception that the county is trying to "centralize" or become the potential, interim "State Capitol." This is a  misunderstanding in its current potential. Every county’s progress is a win for the state as a whole, and all counties should be encouraged to participate in State committees, especially when such work involves local growth bringing local experience and needs to the table.

No State Should Stall Local Growth: Conversely, some believe that "State Assembly must come first" (meaning must be fully standing and seated first) before any County Assembly can be recognized.

Not true!

While State Assembly Standing is absolutely essential for official recognition "first," county development, however, does not need to pause. In fact, the Federation has affirmed that both should be growing together, with county participation at the state level being a key indicator of progress.

"The 100% facts remain that when a State Assembly is being developed, so too are ALL the County Assemblies in a position to develop also - from status-corrected people who live upon them—ESPECIALLY if those people from each County ARE participating honorably at the State level, if only by Committee involvement."

Working Together—Not Against Each Other

State-level participants (elected Officers must not forsake their own counties. Everyone serving at the State level as elected Officers should also be extending (at least a small, yet measurable portion of) their efforts locally, ensuring that their own County Assembly is not neglected.

No county should think to grant itself a State Capitol location or try to overshadow other counties or remote State Assembly work . The Assembly process is about collaboration, not competition. Counties with more status-corrected people should share their experience and help to motivate the State Assembly collective work, not attempt to dominate State Assembly business or become the de jure "Capitol" location by default as a matter of manipulated convenience.

Committee work is the bridge. Every State Assembly committee meeting should include updates and outreach from local counties, and every County Assembly should be encouraged to send representatives—even if it’s just one dedicated, lawful and peaceful man or woman.

Simplicity in Action

It is incredibly simple for even a single man or woman in a county to:

Serve as a County Organizer, Peacekeeper, or Recording Secretary.

Participate remotely in State Assembly committees.

Share local successes and needs, and learn from others statewide.

Promote outreach and invite others from their county to join.

No Excuses—Resources and Training Are Available

Any State Assembly that does not yet have a Peacekeeping Task Force - Assembly Liaison (Point of Contact), but is seeking answers to these issues, should know:

Liaison training and committee support have been available since March 2024.

There is little to no excuse for not being more at ease with these processes, as ongoing training and support are available, and have been, and even more still is on the way.

Anyone acting as an American State National at the State level can receive training on how to build both State and County Assemblies side by side, focus on interfacing with Emergency Resource Centers, Offices, and Local Departments with State Assembly Standing being announced first, followed by County Assembly Standing as soon as possible—even if a county has been ready for weeks or months.

Avoiding the Trap of Circumstance

Let’s be clear: Potential exploitation—whether accidental or intentional—can happen when people accidentally, or conveniently misunderstand or misinterpret the process or try to "game" the system. But the solution is always more communication, more committee involvement, and more sharing of local and state progress.

If you’re working at the State level, please keep your own County Assembly moving forward- even nominal contributions will go a long way!

If you’re strong at the County level, participate in State committees and share your experience. Without local demographics analysis, State Assembly development becomes difficult to scale out from border to border.

If you’re alone on your county, you are still the seed of local Assembly growth—reach out, serve where you can, and connect with State committees.

"Counties are stronger together and our common purpose is enshrined... Empowering counties to work together for the betterment of one state is The Recipe for Success."

Moving Ahead—Empowered, Not Victimized

The path forward is quite clear: State and County Assemblies are meant to grow together, side by side, each supporting and strengthening the other with The State Assembly to be announced first Internationally. There is no need to fall prey to circumstance, confusion, or rivalry. With open communication, committee participation, and a shared vision, every county and every state can stand strong—recognized, protected, and empowered.

If you or your Assembly have questions or concerns about how to move forward, remember: training, resources, and support are available. The Federation and its Fiduciary Office have addressed these dynamics many times, and the process is simpler than it may appear.

Let’s continue to build together, honoring both our local roots and our statewide vision—never as victims of circumstance, but as empowered participants in the American Assembly process.

Updates on Texas Counties Impacted by Recent Flood Waters

 Coordinated Emergency Response: Integrating PKTF, Assemblies, and PeaceBridgeNetwork for Effective Crisis Management

 

In the face of natural disasters and border crises, the need for rapid, coordinated, and community-driven emergency response is paramount. The Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF), in partnership with the PeaceBridgeNetwork and Assembly liaisons, has established a comprehensive framework to assess, communicate, and respond to such emergencies. This approach draws on both international peacekeeping best practices and grassroots assembly protocols, ensuring that no community is left behind when disaster strikes.

 

 

As of 2245 on 20250705:

Unified Assessment and Response: PKTF and Assembly Integration

PKTF’s operational model echoes key peacekeeping lessons: unity of effort, interoperability, and continuous planning. By integrating with local Assembly members—who serve as the eyes and ears on the ground—PKTF ensures that every phase of a crisis response is informed by real-time, community-level intelligence. This direct communication is vital for accurate needs assessment, resource allocation, and the swift deployment of rescue operations, as emphasized by the Federation Fiduciary Office and the Peacekeeping Task Force respectively.

 

Assembly liaisons are essential for:

 

• Relaying urgent information from affected counties
   
• Coordinating local volunteers and resources
   
• Verifying conditions and needs at the community level
   
• Ensuring two-way communication between command centers and those directly impacted
   

The Role of PeaceBridgeNetwork: Information When Seconds Count

The PeaceBridgeNetwork acts as a digital and logistical bridge, ensuring that rescue information, evacuation routes, and emergency contacts reach vulnerable populations quickly. Through its platforms, PeaceBridgeNetwork disseminates real-time updates—crucial when time is of the essence. This network’s strong ethical foundation and reliable partnerships amplify the effectiveness of PKTF and Assembly efforts, making sure that actionable information is always available to those who need it most.

 

Technology in Action: Interactive Flood Maps and Real-Time Data

Interactive flood mapping tools are indispensable for situational awareness and rescue coordination. The following resources provide real-time data and mapping for flood and weather emergencies:

 

• Texas Flood Map: Real-time flood gage conditions and weather data across Texas.
   
• FEMA Flood Map Service Center: Official national source for flood hazard maps and risk products.
   
• FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer Viewer: Interactive map with current effective flood data nationwide.
   
• Flood Pro (Austin, TX): Local floodplain information for Austin.
   
• Harris County Flood Education Mapping Tool: Flood risk and mapping for Harris County, Texas.
   
• Flood Zones and Maps (National Flood Insurance Program): Understand your flood zone and risk.
   
• TWDB Flood Mapping Resources: Texas-specific flood mapping, planning, and data tools.
   

Other states provide similar resources, including:

 

• California’s Flood Preparedness Map (California Department of Water Resources)
   
• Louisiana Flood Map Portal (Louisiana Flood Map Portal)
   
• Florida Flood Mapping Program (Florida Division of Emergency Management)
   
• Iowa Flood Information System (IFIS)
   
• New York Flood Mapper (NYS Department of Environmental Conservation)
   

These platforms support local and national efforts, enabling PKTF and partners to coordinate logistics, communicate with Assembly members, and deploy resources efficiently across jurisdictions.

 

The Importance of Emergency Dispatch Contacts for State Assemblies

For all State Assemblies, it is highly beneficial to maintain a clearly designated Emergency Dispatch contact on their Assembly website. This contact serves as a direct line for Assembly members to quickly report emergencies, request assistance, or relay critical information. The Emergency Dispatch contact works closely with the Assembly Militia Commander to:

 

• Assess the situation and determine if emergency service resources are needed
   
• Coordinate with PKTF and other response teams for rapid deployment
   
• Ensure that all communication is streamlined during times of disaster
   
• Facilitate two-way updates between the field and command centers
   

Having this structure in place ensures that Assembly-level intelligence and needs are immediately integrated into broader emergency response strategies, helping save lives and property when every moment counts.

 

Latest Updates: Texas Flood Disaster

The recent catastrophic flooding in Central Texas has underscored the necessity of these coordinated efforts and real-time resources. In Lampasas County, east of the Hill Country, only minor flood damage has been reported so far, but flood stage is expected to peak tomorrow. In contrast, Kerrville and the surrounding area have been severely impacted. The Guadalupe River surged by over 20 feet in less than two hours, causing widespread destruction and tragic loss of life.

 

A girls’ summer Bible camp, Camp Mystic, near Kerrville was hit especially hard. Only a handful of survivors have been found so far, with up to 100 people feared lost. As of the latest updates, at least 43 people have died in Kerr County, including many children, and dozens remain missing. Search and rescue operations have been ongoing, with helicopters in the air all day and more than 850 individuals rescued, including over 100 airlifted from the area. The floodwaters rose so rapidly—by as much as 26 to 29 feet in under an hour in some places—that many were caught off guard despite pre-positioned rescue resources and warnings.

 

Officials continue to urge caution as more rain is expected, and flood watches remain in effect. The disaster response has involved federal, state, and local agencies, with ongoing efforts to locate the missing, provide shelter, and restore critical infrastructure.

 

Peacekeeping Lessons Applied

International peacekeeping experience reinforces the importance of comprehensive planning involving all mission components, civil-military cooperation and clear allocation of tasks, continuous evaluation and adaptation as situations evolve, and integrated support services and joint operations centers to coordinate resources and information.

 

PKTF’s model, in combination with Assembly protocols and PeaceBridgeNetwork’s communication tools, mirrors these best practices, ensuring that crisis response is both strategic and responsive to local realities.

 

Acknowledging Key Partners

Special thanks go to The Texas Assembly and the PKTF–Assembly Liaison for their dedication to keeping the Federation informed and engaged. Their proactive approach ensures that the Federation and its partners can offer timely and effective assistance, reinforcing the value of decentralized, community-driven emergency response.

 

Steps Ahead During Emergency Dispatch Missions and During Live Exercises Drills

By integrating PKTF’s operational expertise, Assembly-driven local intelligence, and the PeaceBridgeNetwork’s rapid communication capabilities, emergency response becomes more coordinated, ethical, and effective. Interactive flood maps and real-time data empower all stakeholders to act quickly and decisively, while ongoing communication with Assembly members ensures that every community’s needs are addressed. This holistic approach stands as a model for crisis management—where technology, local knowledge, and international best practices converge to save lives and restore order in times of crisis.

 

The Critical Role of PKTF in Safeguarding Lawful State and County Assemblies

Why Trusted Advocacy, Recognition, and Diligent Peacekeeping Are Essential as County Reeves Offices and Assemblies Expand Across America

The services provided by the Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF) are not just essential right now—they will become even more critical as more County Assemblies come online, especially with the establishment of their Reeves Offices.

 

When a County Reeve’s Office or Deputy Continental Marshal on a County without a Sheriff, for example, is properly set up, it marks a pivotal moment for local self-governance and peacekeeping.

This is an extremely vital service opportunity, both for advocacy and for public recognition, because it ensures that the office is authentic—a true Reeve’s Office—rather than some “fly by night” impostor operation.

Unfortunately, there have been instances where individuals claim the title of “American State National” and “County Reeve” - but are little more than only someone traveling around and creating for themselves and other subcontractors unnecessary or even unlawful disruptions with existing peacekeepers and law enforcement.

Such actions have been interpreted as attempts to undermine trust and can create avoidable conflict.

 

It is precisely because of the due diligence and rigorous standards upheld by the Peacekeeping Task Force that our organization is making significant strides as the most trusted advocacy group built to help provide such distinctions between would-be imposters and bonafide peacekeepers. PKTF can vouch for every peacekeeper who steps forward to serve, at both the local and State level, ensuring that only those who have met the highest standards of integrity and lawful conduct, and who were truly elected into office or appointed, are fully recognized and supported.

This goes the same for each peacekeeping entity outside their State General Assembly, but who serve their actual State Assembly 

 

Key Differences Between Lawful State Assemblies and Other Groups

Lawful and Legal Foundation (key differences)

 

• Definitely Lawful - Land and Soil Jurisdiction State Assemblies:
  Grounded in the Tenth Amendment and state constitutions. Uphold natural rights, popular sovereignty, and lawful self-governance by way of the Public Law.
   
• Possibly Legal ONLY - Other sidebar Groups (Reign of Heaven, the late David Straight (limited arrangement) dual State National Process Groups (and other largely District Assembly-minded approaches), Republic of The United States of America (RUSA), etc..
  Often lack a clear jurisdictional boundary framework or lawful grounding differentiation. Such tactics may rely significantly on private claims or alternative interpretations and not the Public Law or The Assembly of, for, and by the people, as well as of, for, and by The People who serve them.
   

Form & Substance AND Status & Standing

 

• State Assemblies:
  Operate transparently with defined public record members of their Assembly or of The Public, clearly known service procedures, and public accountability. These same adhere to the Unanimous Declaration of Independence and all obligations that uphold the Public Law.
   
• Other Groups of a non-assembled fashion:
  Typically lack transparent structure, recognized authority, an enforcement of the Public Law element answerable to the people, or established accountability.
   

Peacekeeping Elements

 

• State Assemblies:
  Coordinate with Constitutional Sheriffs and other local local peacemakers. Provide training and education to uphold citizens’ rights and Public Law for all de jure men and women and their families' public and private assets.
   
• Other Groups:
  May claim peacekeeping roles but lack recognized authority or coordination with lawful public officers, appointed officers, or the Federation and Federation of States.
   

Obligation to Self-Govern

 

• State Assemblies:
  Explicitly obligated to self-govern under state and federal constitutions. Serve their members and the State.
   
• Other Groups:
  May claim self-governance but do not have lawful recognition or in-session and operate under the Federation blueprint with identified State Coordinators.
   

Advocacy & Recognition

 

• State Assemblies:
  PKTF offers a unique, transparent listing and exclusive vetting process for Federation coordination regarding State Border Defense development. Only assemblies meeting lawful and peaceful standards, and that promote peacekeepers, are properly recognized.
   
• Other Groups:
  No comparable public, criteria-based distinction or listing is provided elsewhere.
   

Trustworthiness & Public Engagement

 

• State Assemblies:
  Emphasize public education, engagement, and accountability for both members and law enforcement.
   
• Other Groups:
  Usually lack definitive mechanisms for ongoing public engagements with Law Enforcement and State Border Defense- or other external accountability offices - offering no counterbalancing.
   

 

 

 

The PKTF charter highlights its commitment to evaluating, training, and coordinating peacekeeping efforts interfacing by way of transparent networks among Constitutional Sheriffs, State and Local Assembly peacekeepers, and other local, State, and Federal Law Enforcement with their underwriters. This ensures adherence to upholding all subcontractors and enforcing constitutional obligations and respect for ALL citizens’ rights, as well as to all sovereigns holding no obligation to serve their local or State government. Educational programs are prioritized for both Law Enforcement and community members, aiming to enhance adequate comprehension of  Public Law obligations while promoting active de jure American State Citizens and 14th Amendment Corporate Citizen subcontractor cooperation participation regarding peacekeeping.

 

No other organization besides the Peacekeeping Task Force offers this transparent, criteria-based distinction and public listing of properly recognized State Assemblies. Other alleged American organization groups do not provide the same level of lawful vetting, accountability, or coordination with recognized public officials and often operate outside the framework of American self-governance.

 

What’s Next?

As more County Assemblies and Reeves Offices are established, the need for trusted, diligent advocacy and recognition will only grow. If you are interested in supporting or joining a lawful State or County Assembly, or if you want to verify the legitimacy of a group or office claiming to represent your area, visiting the PKTF’s official listing or contacting them for guidance is a practical next step. PKTF stands ready to ensure that every peacekeeper and office is genuine, accountable, and truly serving the people.

 

Consider:

 

• Reviewing PKTF’s educational resources for both citizens and law enforcement.
   
• Participating in local Assembly meetings or peacekeeping training.
   
• Reaching out to PKTF for clarification about the status of any group or office in question.
   

By taking these steps, you help ensure that your involvement supports organizations and individuals who are lawfully recognized and committed to principled self-governance and peacekeeping at every level.
