Welcome Home to the Land and soil of Virginia

Self -Govenance means that you  acknowledge your standing as a living man or woman and you take responsibility for the trajectory of your own life and for the consequences of your actions.  Engaging the clear and simple precepts of Do No Harm, Be in Honor, Act in Kindness, and Leave Life Better, provides a foundation from which to orchestrate the intricacies of Life.  Accountability, integrity, virtue and a strong moral compass are required for Self- Governance within a community,  Securing and expressing your rights must never usurp or infringe upon the rights of another.

The American system for Governance consists of the Self-Governing men and women on a nation-state, collaborating to ensure Peace, Freedom and security for all people.

The Foundation of American Common Law

A Jury of Peers

"The legal culture of the criminal jury is distinctive to American Common Law due to the devotion of the belief that the guilt or innocence of a person accused of crime can only be judged fairly by a jury of the peers." [1]  *  Regarding a jury of twelve (12) -  It is the role of the jurors to execute justice, sometimes with mercy. Their decisions cannot be second guessed , “The jury shall have the right to determine the law and the fact.” (New York Constitution, Art. 1, 88)  *  Jury Nullification - "The jury has an unalienable right to judge both the law as well as the facts in controversy."

(John Jay 1st Chief Justice UNited States Supreme Court 1789)   *   ... a role to play as the “conscience of the community” and relied on juries “nullifying” to hold the government to the principles of the Constitution. (1)

 Militia vs Standing Army: The Founders' View To a vast majority of the founding generation, standing armies were extremely dangerous, “the bane of liberty.” The best way to prevent them? Render them unnecessary.  During the Virginia ratifying convention, the question came up as to why the general government was given the power to call forth the militia. Madison emphasized that “if insurrections should arise, or invasions should take place, the people ought to unquestioningly be employed, to suppress and repel them, rather than a standing army.” This reiterated the point he made during the Philadelphia Convention. “The best way to do these things is to put the militia on a good and sure footing, and enable the government to make use of their services when necessary.” He went on to argue that “the most effectual way to guard against a standing army is to render it unnecessary.” How do you do that? “Give the general [lawful] government full power to call forth the militia, and exert the whole natural strength of the Union, when necessary.” 

The formation of our governance according to our founding fathers was from the people up... Meaning that the ultimate power lies with the people.

However the fact that we are reconstructing our governance on Virginia after a period of 160 years of interregnum, we are required to think outside the original intensions.

Therefore the State Level governance is being built first and we have created Regions, Clusters (groups of counties) as Governance structures between the State and the County level.  Once the counties are populated they will break away from the Cluster and stand on their own.

As a sovereign nation state, Virginia conducts it's own international business affairs with other nation states and other countries.

Virginians and The Virginia Assembly are working diligently to reconstruct our nation state and stand her up to her full glory.  As we do, we will enter into trade agreements and treaties for the benefit of all Virginians.  We will instruct our service providers on what is best for Virginia and oversee that they implement their duties according to the will of Virginians. 

Virginia is excited to announce the nomination of our Militia Commander and liaison to Virginia Sheriffs.   

 Steve Russel Just.  

At the County Level the Lawful sheriff is the prominent peacekeeping official on the Land and soil whose greatest duty is to protect the rights and property of the living people.  Our Milita Commander will ensure that our county Sheriffs comprehend their duties under Land Law.
