YOUR WITHDRAWAL OF CONSENT

YOUR WITHDRAWAL OF CONSENT

Many of us, either in whole or in part, have withdrawn our consent from the current ruling regime. Up till now, however, I’ve never seen a form to document such a thing. Below you will find one.
(Also available as a PDF.)

I am under no impression that any ruling regime will acknowledge such a form, but I think it’s a healthy exercise to specify what you consent to and what you do not.

The form should be self-explanatory.

WITHDRAWAL AND SPECIFICATION OF CONSENT

I, ________________________________, residing within the politically dominated territory commonly known as _________________________, hereby withdraw my consent as specified below. I revoke any consent, express or implied, assumed or claimed by any political entity, except as specifically stated in this document.

FURTHERMORE: Money or other valuables taken from me by force, threat, or other compulsion SHALL NOT be understood to be tokens of any consent on my part, except as specifically stated in this document. Nor shall my continued residence in the territory of the above specified political entity be taken as evidence of my consent. Nor shall filing papers, making public displays, or any other type of overt act be required of me to demonstrate my lack of consent; the endorsement of this form alone shall be sufficient.

The specific lines that I authorize are noted by my initials, which I have written by my own hand.
