Perfect State

We, the Kindred of the Free State, do hereby declare that we and our progeny, and all Kindred who choose freedom over oppression and liberty over tyranny, of all clans and generations, have as an inherent part of their being the spiritual substance called   libertas , or Free Will. We further declare that, as we have freed ourselves from the bonds of mortality, so must we free ourselves from the forces that would rob us of our   libertas . Not only must we continue to struggle on our own behalf, but on behalf of our brothers and sisters who continue to be robbed of their   libertas   by oppression, ignorance and fear.

The Anarch Free State is the political expression of that struggle. In choosing to free ourselves from political tyranny, we have also chose to embrace our own   libertas <span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;">  <span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;">and that of our brother and sister Kindred everywhere.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:'TimesNewRoman',serif;">For these reasons we, the Kindred of the Anarch Free State, meeting this night in solemn convocation, do hereby pledge ourselves to the following principles:
