4. Any kind of license. Most licenses say on the back or in the statutes regulating them that they are property of the 1 government and must be returned upon request. This includes: 2 4.1. Driver’s licenses. 3 4.2. Contracting licenses. 4 5. A USA Passport. The passport indicates on page 6, note 2 that it is property of the U.S. government and must be 5 returned upon request. So does 22 C.F.R. §51.7. 6 6. Any kind of government ID, including state Resident ID cards. Nearly all such ID say they belong to the government. 7 This includes Common Access Cards (CACs) used in the U.S. military. 8 7. A vehicle license plate. Attaching it to the car makes a portion of the vehicle public property. 9 8. Stock in a public corporation. All stock holders in corporations are regarded by the courts as GOVERNMENT 10 CONTRACTORS! 11

“The court held that the first company's charter was a contract between it and the state, within the protection of the constitution of the United States, and that the charter to the last company was therefore null and void., Mr. Justice DAVIS, delivering the opinion of the court, said that, if anything was settled by an unbroken chain of decisions in the federal courts, it was that an act of incorporation was a contract between the state and the stockholders, 'a departure from which now would involve dangers to society that cannot be foreseen, whould shock the sense of justice of the country, unhinge its business interests, and weaken, if not destroy, that

respect which has always been felt for the judicial department of the government.' “

[New Orleans Gas Co. v. Louisiana Light Co., 115 U.S. 650 (1885)]

Essentially, Uncle Sam is in the property renting business, and the above types of property are the thing being rented: 20

“ We have repeatedly held that the Federal Government may impose appropriate conditions on the use of federal property or privileges and may require that state instrumentalities comply with conditions that are reasonably related to the federal interest in particular national projects or programs. See, e. g., Ivanhoe Irrigation Dist. v. McCracken, 357 U.S. 275, 294 -296 (1958); Oklahoma v. Civil Service Comm'n, 330 U.S. 127, 142 -144 (1947); United States v. San Francisco, 310 U.S. 16 (1940); cf. National League of Cities v. Usery, 426 U.S. 833, 853 (1976); Fry v. United States, 421 U.S. 542 (1975). A requirement that States, like all other users, pay a portion of the costs of the benefits they enjoy from federal programs is surely permissible since it is closely related to the [435 U.S. 444, 462] federal interest in recovering costs from those who benefit and since it effects no greater interference with state sovereignty than do the restrictions which this

Court has approved. ”

[Massachusetts v. United States, 435 U.S. 444 (1978)]

Once they lend you government property essentially as a “bribe”, you consent to be treated as a de facto “public officer” in 32 the government. A “public officer” is, after all, legally defined as someone who is in charge of the property of the public. 33 Receipt and temporary custody of the valuable property of the public therefore constitutes your “employment 34 consideration” to act as a public officer!: 35

“ Public office . The right, authority, and duty created and conferred by law, by which for a given period, either fixed by law or enduring at the pleasure of the creating power, an individual is invested with some portion of the sovereign functions of government for the benefit of the public. Walker v. Rich, 79 Cal.App. 139, 249 P. 56, 58. An agency for the state, the duties of which involve in their performance the exercise of some portion of the sovereign power, either great or small. Yaselli v. Goff, C.C.A., 12 F.2d. 396, 403, 56 A.L.R. 1239; Lacey v. State, 13 Ala.App. 212, 68 So. 706, 710; Curtin v. State, 61 Cal.App. 377, 214 P. 1030, 1035; Shelmadine v. City of Elkhart, 75 Ind.App. 493, 129 N.E. 878. State ex rel. Colorado River Commission v. Frohmiller, 46 Ariz. 413, 52 P.2d. 483, 486. Where, by virtue of law, a person is clothed, not as an incidental or transient authority, but for such time as de- notes duration and continuance, with Independent power to control the property of the public , or with public functions to be exercised in the supposed interest of the people, the service to be compensated by a stated yearly salary, and the occupant having a designation or title, the position

so created is a public office. State v. Brennan, 49 Ohio.St. 33, 29 N.E. 593.

Why do they use property as the means to effect or create the franchise? The reason is because they have jurisdiction over 49 their property WHEREVER it is situated, including within states of the Union. 50

“ The Constitution permits Congress to dispose of and to make all needful rules and regulations respecting the territory or other property belonging to the United States. This power applies as well to territory belonging to the United States within the States, as beyond them. It comprehends all the public domain, wherever it may be. The argument is, that the power to make ‘ALL needful rules and regulations‘ ‘is a power of legislation,’ ‘a full legislative power;’ ‘that it includes all subjects of legislation in the territory,‘ and is without any limitations, except the positive prohibitions which affect all the powers of Congress. Congress may then regulate or prohibit slavery upon the public domain within the new States, and such a prohibition would permanently affect the capacity of a slave, whose master might carry him to it. And why not? Because no
