Membership in the Assembly is open
to all living men and women on the land
The steps to join are below
Thank you for your interest in the California Assembly and correcting your status.
The information you find here will help you begin your journey.
Restoring the land and soil jurisdiction state, California, requires the reconstruction of the original lawful county and state assemblies (unincorporated). To that end, our goal is to help people "come home to California" by correcting their political status to be an American State National and no longer a corporate United States Citizen or US CITIZEN.
Our hope is that you'll feel called to join The California Assembly which will automatically qualify you for your County Assembly. However, you're not required to join either one as a State National. State Nationals are owed all the protections of the American government and all the freedoms, rights and constitutional guarantees afforded by government at any level, upholding the public law and keeping the peace.
Please contact us if you have any questions.
Correcting Your Status
American State National
Needed for basic status correction:
1) Birth Certificate copy (plus naturalization document or green card - for immigrants))
2) Passport-style photo
3) 1779 Declaration
4) 2 Witness Testimonies
Note: the 928 Documents are only needed for those wishing to hold an elected office in The California Assembly or become a Juror.
Anna recommends the basic 1779 Declaration plus 2 Witness Testimonies for everyone else.
There are 4 easy steps for correcting your status:
1) Create and print your documents (3 options)
- The American States Assembly website - computer generated option Fee supports The California Assembly (Publish to the LRO)
https://tasa.americanstatenationals.org/correct-your-status/
You will need to select "1779 Declaration" that applies to you:
- Americans
- Green Card Immigrants
- 7 year undocumented immigrants
- Naturalized Immigrants
- Federal Employees
Note: You may choose the "Interactive Form Generator"
or create the documents yourself
Be sure to select the document for "Recording Secretary"
- Download and print your 1779 Declaration document
Next select "Two Witness Testimony" (on the right hand side of the page)
Be sure to select for "State of State Notary"
- Download and print your Witness Testimony document
Attach your passport photo where indicated on the Witness Testimony, with double sided tape, and print two color copies.

2) Complete Witness Testimonies
You will need two witnesses who have known you for at least 7 years. They can be friends, relatives or acquaintances.
Give one form to each of your two witnesses. They will need to fill out and autograph
the form in the presence of a Notary Public. UPS, Fedex or your bank are good places
to have the Witness Testimonies notarized. The Notary Public may want to use their
own witness jurat on a separate page, which is fine.
Ask your witnesses to return the documents to you after they are notarized.
