Unlocking the Power of PMAs in the Private

Let’s face it, the world is full of overreach, mandates, and increasing surveillance, many people are waking up to one undeniable truth: true freedom doesn’t come from the government—it comes from within, and it is claimed, not granted. If you’re here, it’s because you feel that same fire in your soul. You know there has to be another way to live, work, and serve—free from the clutches of corporate control and bureaucratic red tape.
Enter the Private Membership Association (PMA)—the legal, lawful, and time-tested path to reclaiming our inherent rights and operating in true sovereignty.
This isn’t a loophole. It’s not a trick. It’s not about hiding in the shadows or breaking laws. This is about exercising your God-given, constitutionally protected rights to operate privately, in honor, and in truth. And it’s a key pillar in the Freedom People’s framework for reclaiming our lives.
What Is a PMA—Really?
At its core, a Private Membership Association is a structure built upon your First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, Tenth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights, alongside established Supreme Court case law and common law principles. A PMA is a private, contractual relationship between living souls—not corporations. This means you can operate outside the jurisdiction of government agencies and public regulations as long as you remain in the private.
That’s critical to understand: The private domain is where your rights live. The public domain is where those rights are waived in exchange for privileges—and those privileges come with licenses, taxes, and control.
Examples of PMAs in Action:
- A natural wellness practitioner offering herbal guidance exclusively to PMA members—no licensing, no state interference.
- A homeschool co-op educating children under shared spiritual and educational values.
- A food cooperative offering nutrient-dense, raw dairy and high-vibe products directly to its private members.
Each of these PMAs functions completely lawfully—because they are not public businesses. They are private associations, protected by the Constitution and built around voluntary membership.
The Real Difference Between Public and Private
This is one of the most critical distinctions we teach at The Freedom People, and it’s where most people have been deeply conditioned to misunderstand their true options.
We live in a system that trains us from birth to believe the public domain is the only legitimate way to operate—whether that’s working, owning property, running a business, or engaging in community life. What they don’t tell you is that the public domain is not neutral—it’s regulated, permission-based, and designed to limit freedom under the illusion of safety and order.
In contrast, the private domain—protected by the Constitution and upheld by case law—is where your inherent rights are preserved. It’s the space of true self-determination. The problem is, most people don’t even know it exists.
Let’s unpack the real differences:
Operating in the Public
When you function in the public (what most people default to), you’re stepping into a jurisdiction controlled by the corporate state and statutory law. That means:
- Licenses & Permits
You must ask for permission to operate. Whether you’re a natural health practitioner, a contractor, or a homeschool educator—you are required to obtain licenses, file permits, and follow regulations that govern your behavior. These aren’t just suggestions—they’re mandates that dictate what you can and cannot do. - Codes, Statutes & Policies
You’re bound by government-created rules, many of which are not laws passed by legislatures, but codes written by administrative agencies. These regulations change frequently and often serve corporate or political interests more than the people. - Voluntary Surrender of Rights
When you apply for a business license, driver’s license, or corporate charter, you voluntarily surrender some of your natural rights. In return, you’re granted privileges—like the ability to “legally” operate a business. But make no mistake: those privileges can be revoked. - Constant Oversight
Operating in the public means being subject to inspections, audits, fees, taxes, penalties, fines, and other enforcement actions. At any moment, a government agency or regulatory body can step in, investigate, and penalize you for non-compliance—even if your actions are peaceful, voluntary, and beneficial to your community.
Operating in the Private via a PMA
Now contrast this with the private domain—a lawful space where your God-given, constitutionally protected rights are fully intact and preserved. A PMA (Private Membership Association) is your lawful structure for doing business, ministry, or education privately, by contract and consent—not by public regulation.
Here’s what that looks like:
- Self-Governance Through Contracts
Inside a PMA, you write your own Articles of Association, Bylaws, and Membership Agreements. These are your constitution and your law. Your PMA functions based on private contract law, which is one of the most powerful forms of law in the United States. - No Licenses or Permits Needed
Because your PMA is not operating in the public domain, you are not required to get state licenses or certifications. You’re engaging in private membership transactions—not public commerce. This is fully lawful and protected under the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. - Living Members, Not the Public
Your PMA is comprised only of private members who voluntarily join, agree to your terms, and consent to the association’s practices. That means no general public access, and no obligation to conform to public policy. - Constitutional Alignment
Your PMA operates under the protection of multiple Constitutional provisions:
- First Amendment – Freedom of association and religious expression.
- Fourth Amendment – Protection against unreasonable search and seizure.
- Fifth Amendment – Protection from self-incrimination and unlawful taking.
- Ninth & Tenth Amendments – Reserved rights not delegated to the government.
- Fourteenth Amendment – Equal protection and due process under the law.
- First Amendment – Freedom of association and religious expression.
- True Autonomy
With a PMA, you reclaim your autonomy to serve your community without asking permission, without being taxed into compliance, and without compromising your values.
But Here’s the Catch: You Must Stay in the Private
This is where many well-meaning people trip up. They form a PMA but continue to engage in public practices, and this opens the door to legal scrutiny and jurisdictional confusion.
Let’s be clear:
You cannot mix private and public.
That means:
- You do not advertise your services to the general public like a corporation would. You speak directly to potential members and invite them to join your private association.
- You do not accept public grants or government subsidies.
- You do not contract with state or federal agencies unless you’re operating through a separate public entity.
- You do not mix PMA bank accounts or contracts with your personal or public business finances.
If you do, you risk stepping back into the public, where the regulatory state has jurisdiction and authority over you.
But when you stay within the private—and operate with integrity, lawful contracts, and clear boundaries—you remain protected, empowered, and untouchable by most forms of bureaucratic overreach.
Real-Life Examples of the Divide
A Public Scenario:
A holistic practitioner offers natural detox services to the public. The state health department demands licensure, mandates protocols, and threatens closure for “unlicensed practice of medicine.” Fines pile up. The practitioner is forced to shut down.
A Private Scenario:
A PMA is formed around holistic health and spiritual wellness. The practitioner operates within the association, offering services only to consenting members. There is no licensure required, no health department oversight, and no exposure to regulation—because the public was never involved.
Same work. Different jurisdiction. Totally different outcome.
Public = Permission. Private = Protection.
Let’s call it what it is:
- The public is the system. It’s where you trade freedom for convenience. It’s where you ask permission to be yourself.
- The private is your power. It’s where your rights live. It’s where you build legacy, community, and alignment without compromise.
Operating a PMA doesn’t just change your business model. It changes your worldview. It requires a shift from being a compliant subject to becoming an aware, intentional, contractually bound creator of your own reality.
And once you experience that shift—it’s impossible to go back.
The Spiritual Foundation of the PMA Movement
The Freedom People stand for more than legal frameworks—we stand for spiritual sovereignty. PMAs are more than a paperwork package—they’re a declaration of alignment with God’s law over man’s law.
This means your PMA:
- Honors the inherent dignity and sovereignty of all members.
- Respects Divine order and natural law.
- Operates in love, truth, and service.
Whether you’re ministering to others, healing the body, educating children, or sharing sacred knowledge, your PMA becomes a sacred container for mission-driven action. It allows you to step outside the system while still honoring your community.

Examples of Government Overreach Avoided by PMAs
Let’s get real. Here’s a scenario pulled directly from the trenches:
Public Path: A mold remediation business is forced to:
- Register with the state
- Acquire general contractor and abatement licenses
- Train and license all employees
- Pay city, county, state, and federal taxes
- Maintain expensive liability insurance
- Submit to endless audits and inspections
Private Path (with PMA):
- All clients become members
- Services are rendered privately under PMA agreements
- No licensing, no taxes, no government interference
- The practitioner acts as a ministry abating harmful substances for spiritual protection
This isn’t fiction. This is how freedom is reclaimed in real life.
Debunking the Myths About PMAs
Let’s clear up a few misconceptions:
Myth 1: PMAs are illegal.
False. PMAs are protected under constitutional law and supported by over a century of case law.
Myth 2: You’ll get in trouble with the IRS.
False. As long as you remain in the private, operate lawfully, and contract only with members, your PMA has no obligation to the IRS or public filings.
Myth 3: You can’t get a bank account.
False. We walk you through the step-by-step EIN process and provide verbiage and documents that allow you to open a PMA bank account easily.
Myth 4: You can’t grow or scale.
False. PMAs are thriving across every industry—from health to education, agriculture to wealth-building—and are even being used in estate planning, crypto protection, and spiritual missions.
The Future Belongs to the Private
As the system continues to tighten, those in the private will thrive while others comply. This isn’t just a legal strategy—it’s a shift in consciousness. It’s choosing to step into alignment with your Creator, with your calling, and with your tribe.
By joining the PMA movement, you’re joining a nation within a nation—one rooted in values of truth, integrity, sovereignty, and service.
At The Freedom People, we’re not just offering a structure. We’re offering a blueprint for total life transformation. And it all starts with this question:
Are you ready to operate outside the system and reclaim your freedom?
