PROPOSAL

For The Re-Inhabited Republic For Florida

Assembly Or Non-Profit Corp?

TO:        New County Assemblies

From:       Jim Costa         Costa4670@Gmail.com

Date:      March 24, 2026

The Problem:

The new County Assembly needs to become a legal entity, but what type?

It needs to protect its members from Financial liability and be able to carry on for 200 years.

Facts & Assumptions:

A) In the current legal world we live in, an Assembly must open a bank account to do
    business. It 
must have a Federal Employment Identification Number (FEIN) and be a
    legal organization to 
get that number. Otherwise, a bank can not open am account with
    you.

 

B) The state does not currently recognize a County Assembly as a Government Agency, so it

    cannot get a FEIN as a Government or Government agency unless so declared in the
    State 
Constitution.

 

C) The new Republic folks hate “Corporations” and want nothing to do with one.

 

D) The Assembly can register itself as a Non-Profit Corporation and open a bank account.

    However, that goes against the rule in “C” above.

E) It will take time for the State Constitution to be amended to recognize a County Assembly
    as a 
Government agency in “B” above.

 

F) In order to open your County Assembly it is caught in a “Catch 22” scenario.

    You are blocked from taking any action at all.

G) The primary goal for the new Assembly is to tie up the name of

    “County Assembly For Cold Butt, AK”.

 

There are two ways to accomplish this.

1) Become a Non-Profit under the name of

         “County Assembly For Cold Butt, AK, Inc.”

2) Register the name as a Fictitious Name as

         “County Assembly For Cold Butt, AK”.

 

H) See these Searches and Answers:

Can a County Assembly get a Federal Employment Identification Number as a government agency?         Answer

 

Can a county Assembly apply for legal status with the State of Florida?      Answer

 

Can an assembly register as a legal entity in Florida?    Answer

The Plan:

1) Register the name and operate as an Assembly without a bank account.

         Name: “County Assembly For Cold Butt, AK”.

2) Create a Non-Profit corporation to contract and pay bills on behalf of the Assembly.

          Name: “County Assembly For Cold Butt, AK Paymaster, Inc.”

3) Once the State Constitution is amended, the Assembly can get a FEIN

    and open its own Bank Account.


    The Non-Profit Corp can then be closed.

4) Lease, contracts and employees will all be under the Corporation

     who will then gift its services to the Assembly.

 

Costs:

Fictitious Name:        $250

Non-Profit Corp:        $100

Total:                       $350

Pros:

Gets it done simply and Immediately.

Allows the Assembly to open early.

Cons:

 

 

Action Requested
