I thought I would pick out a few things from the Arizona State Constitution for everyone to look over. Not everyone has an Arizona Constitution so I thought it might be a good thing to go over. But also remember that the state were formed before the Constitution of the United State of America. So all states looked at the earlier sate constitutions and wrote them in the other states that fallowed. Because we are under the Constitution of the United State we can also use and look at the other state constitutions and reference them with our state constitution.

Do you see how the different states all have very similar Articles that are very close to each other. These are all useable in each state to show how the People have the power over the Government. How we can not be told what to do. How we have rights given to us not by government.
We elect the people to our government we elect them to do what we say. This is why the Affidavits and the Notices work. Because in them we show the School Boards and the Government that they work for us. WE THE PEOPLE DO NOT WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT!!! If you want a way to fight what is going on this is one way you can do that. If you want to know more let me know or talk to Josh.
