Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common questions about forming and maintaining a Private Membership Association.

1. What Makes a pma Necessary?

PMAs have a well-established past and continue to have a noteworthy and distinctive status under the law; they are typically exempt from the majority of state and federal public laws. The only exception would be in the event where there is a “clear and present danger of a substantial evil”

2. Why are they immune from public laws?

They’re not public; they’re private. Capacity to create a PMA and the safeguards provided by a properly formed PMA, has existed since the 1600’s in this country and are not a new concept. It is your right to associate and to assemble. That right has always existed. If you have established your association correctly, the foundational documents will specify who has the authority to determine all association business, and which tribunals and authorities have the jurisdiction to intervene.

3. What is a PMA?

Men and women collectively asserting and standing upon their rights to determine and share lawful services,
procedures, advice, counsel, tips, and any other information or services which may be deemed beneficial to
association members; freely sharing, discussing, and obtaining, exchanging, viewing, and/or using information
and services by members of the Association; and the right to determine for ourselves which products,
services, devices, tips, and advice is most beneficial to us without the information being censored through
regulation or restriction upon these rights constitute a Private Membership Association (“PMA”).  

 

 

4. Are there examples of PMA's in use today?

Common names for private associations include private drinking clubs, private social clubs, private fraternal
organizations, private ministerial associations (also known as faith-based organizations or FBOs), private
membership associations, private education associations, private health associations, and others. Examples
could include dry counties, or states in the United States of America where the sale of alcohol to the general public is prohibited or restricted, drinking is permitted inside “private clubs” smoking is permitted inside “cigar bars” or “private clubs.” Private golf, baseball, football, soccer, and other sports clubs; Mens, Womens, Boy’s, and Girls Clubs; Cub, Brownie, Boy and Girl Scouts of America; the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (N.A.A.C.P.); the American Medical Association (AMA); and even state and national BAR Associations are all types of PMA’s that typically only abide by their own rules (bylaws). Membership is restricted in these organizations. If they have these protections in place, shouldn’t we?

5. Does a PMA make managing a business easier?

Operating a business is made considerably simpler because you have private protections, are exempt from
compliance requirements, and frequently do not need to keep accounting records for as long as is normally
required. In order to preserve your rights against infringement by government agents, you must conduct
business within your PMA.

6. What happens if I already own a corporation, LLC, or established business?

An existing business, LLC or corporation can remain intact, or be restructured as a properly formed PMA. The
amount of labor required to prepare your starting papers may vary greatly depending on the size of the
business, LLC, or corporation. An existing business, LLC or corporation can remain intact, or be restructured as
a properly formed PMA.

In light of the government’s constant efforts to impose additional laws, licenses, regulations, and interference in people’s affairs as well as to regulate or reign over the populace, PMA safeguards are becoming increasingly crucial and, to be honest, indispensable. People are becoming more interested in learning about PMAs and how to utilize them for self-defense since their growing list of mandated licensing, regulations, and intrusions raises the cost of doing business and brings in HUGE income for the “government” For the most part, our PMA’s are an old concept that have become the new necessity.

7. Which PMA kind is best for me?

The majority of PMAs available online are Statutory PMAs, which means you must abide by someone else’s regulations in order to keep your “License” and pay for restricted protection. You are best protected by your own PMA. No licensing from another person’s PMA or issuing agency is required. Once you obtain their license, you are subject to their regulations, which they reserve the right to alter at any time. Establish your own safeguards with a correctly drafted PMA. For instance, you can practice natural medicine without being subject to government agencies authority or having to worry about FDA confiscation or intrusion. We made the decision to teach everyone how to apply the protections on their own, free from external restrictions; otherwise, you might as well continue to be governed by the state.

8. How should a PMA be formed?

You cannot obtain one from a member of the BAR (attorney at law). All they can offer is a Private Association that complies with the law. Since they are court officers, their first duty is to the court, as stated in their oath, and their second is to the public law, and, lastly to their client. They can only draft documents that are statutorily compliant since it would be against their oath to draft paperwork that would remove your business or activity from the court system or the public law.

9. Can a PMA be formed by a Canadian?

Indeed! The Charter of Rights of Canada also offers these PMA safeguards. Comparable safeguards are also
offered by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and the UK Human Rights Act of 1998.

10. What makes us qualified to help you?

Every document is unique to you and your business, and is confidential. One of our staff members is a judge
with 26 years of experience doing this work. The rest of our team members have a background in law. A lot of
businesses that provide PMA services try to imitate what we provide by using premade templates. And in the
course of doing so, they may offer you statutory documents that remove your rights.  You will lose the protections you are attempting to secure.

The Importance of Maintaining a PMA
