Editor’s Note: This video includes two songs from M4F April 2011 Featured Musicians, Voodoo Stingray, from their album, Victoria: Heart’s in the Right Place and Buildings on the Moon. I was tempted to use this classic from Paul Simon, but thought better of that idea due to copyright issues! Here’s a link to Burt’s docs at Scribd.
Here’s the 1st episode of the Story of Burt, a Free People, which is part of Musicians 4 Freedom’s A Journey to Freedom project in which we document musicians, artists, filmmakers, and activists renouncing their U.S. Citizenship. If you want to document your own journey to freedom, M4F will be happy to collect and publish your documents, videos, testimonies, etc. Send me an email at sharlenemusic(at)mac.com or call me at 720.298.1524. To subscribe to Burt’s free webinar, send an email to donotconsent83@yahoo.com.
To comprehend the difference between a republic of free people and a democracy of slaves, please consult USA VS US. Also, if you are still on the fence, take a look at this recent article re: passports.

Goals of A Journey to Freedom
- To discuss the real source of our freedoms and what our rights are as US “citizens” and as “people”.
- To discuss some of the basics from our founding documents.
- To document folks renouncing their U.S. citizenship to provide “prima facie” evidence.
- To publish folks’ “prima facie” evidence.
Superman, like Burt, is Renouncing his U.S. Citizenship
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,” Declaration of Independence
TITLE 42–CHAPTER 21–CIVIL RIGHTS
Sec. 1981. Equal rights under the law(a) Statement of equal rights
All persons within the jurisdiction of the United States shall have the same right in every State and Territory to make and enforce contracts, to sue, be parties, give evidence, and to the full and equal benefit of all laws and proceedings for the security of persons and property as is enjoyed by white citizens, and shall be subject to like punishment, pains, penalties, taxes, licenses, and exactions of every kind, and to no other.
Exaction means “Excessive or unjust demand; extortion.” These are the Legal Rights of the US citizen. The difference between the “citizen” and a “people” is like day and night. Here’s a presentation that discusses much of the same information, but comes to different conclusions. Nevertheless, you should check it out.
Also, the following video discusses TWO classes of citizen the U.S. citizen and the state citizen. Burt argues that our founding documents define a THIRD entity, a free “people,” with full sovereignty, not subjects at all.

You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don’t need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don’t need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
