Iowa GOP State Senate Candidate Joins ‘Alternative’ U.S. Government
In a letter released Friday, Randi Shannon informs supporters of her new position as “U.S. Senator in the Republic of the United States of America.” You see, according to Shannon, the U.S. government has been acting unlawfully as the “‘official government,’ which clearly it is not!”That is the good part of the ride- the crash that's coming is not going to be pretty.
The libertarian-leaning group she joined claims it “re-inhabited” the government on March 30, 2010. The group claims the “United States Corporation” unlawfully formed in 1871 without the American people’s consent. “Since 1871, the abuses of this corporation upon both the international community as well as the American people are inestimable and unconscionable,” the group’s website claims.
“If people think it’s crazy to want to have a constitutional government in place, then so be it,” she told the paper.
