Took a tangent from one of Rockwell's blog posts lastweek concerning moonshine which led me to a site of a still maker who makes some interesting claims, see his page here
Here is a quote from the page linked above:
"You can pay off any and all debts regardless of what they are by making a simple bill of exchange with example below. Simply print, copy, write or use a clear transparency with a color copier in red ink the example below at a45 degree angle across any bill. Then sign and date it in red ink. Send it certified mail return receipt to whomever it is owed. Examples include the mortgage company, IRS, government, phone bills, credit cards, traffic citations, judgements and etc…
?
I imagine his arguement is legally flawed somewhere but did find the concept interesting. Y'all every here of such a thing or know anything about it pro or con? If valid, it might help a few of my buds struggling to keep their McMansions.

LOL, I ended up reading all over his site as well.
I've heard the argument where you declare yourself no longer a corporation, several times before. It's in the same camp as the admiralty gold fringed flags stuff.
The reality is, if the state wants to screw with you, they just send in commandos from the IRS in swat gear and they make up BS charges.
I'd only test this stuff if I was super desperate.
It's not useful to your buddies, but Marc Stevens' ideas of arguing the validity of the law within the court, is probably something I would be more inclined to try.

Just a bit of pedantism from me, but I wanted to point out that from what I understand of Marc S, he makes it a point of principle only to challenge the law indirectly by the method of asking questions and waiting for the answers that come back to be contradictory, so he does not directly argue the validity of the law within the court. (only indirectly).
Marc Stevens fanboy, signing off...

Those are works of art, aren't they? I'm so tempted to take some of my wine and make a batch of brandy. I've done it small scale with an ad hoc still on the stove, but it'd be nice to have a few bottles to share when people come over. You make it by the glass on the stove.

As do I, which is why I haven't yet used it to pay off the mountain of debt I earned myself as a moron kid partying in school. I believe it's like every other claim to the constitution and/or law that seems to work in your favor against a powerfull special interest. Sure, the judge will agree the letter of the law is on your side and perhaps even the spirit, and then he'll rule against you anyway.
Ah well.
I was thinking of trying this with a credit card and then making payments as well just to keep my credit good until the issue was settled. I figure either way then I'm covered. But I doubt it's worth the time and effort. With my luck I'll do this, the economy will collapse along with the dollar, Ron Paul will win the next election and establish a libertarian utopia on Earth, and I'll be stuck owing gold to my creditors.
I've tried it. Fail.
Criminals, there ought to be a law.

Lib Stud: figured it was flaky and on the 'fringe' but am always looking for that magic bullet to counter tyrants I suppose? Thanks for mentioning Marc Stevens, he really seems to have a great strategy goin' there, wonder if it works or if he is just trying to sell a book? Will certainly look into his ideas and accomplishments further, obviously a big Spooner fan.
NirgrahamUK: thanks for expanding my vocabulary, 'pedantism' !
Xahrx: yes they are very nice lookin' stills, perhaps I should put a down payment on his top line $11k model then pay the bill for the balance with his 'bill of exchange' stamp?
Saan: any details you'd like to share on the experience?
