No secret government. All negotiations and planning must be done in the open. If we are told we "have to" because of some "law" or protocol, then we should petition them to change their laws and work around them peacefully. Even for lawsuits, there is something wrong, something we are hiding from THE GOVERNED if we aren't in the OPEN. This is a Constitutional prerequisite. [Art. 4, Sec. 4: "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."]
When State or Federal or any nefarious "law" tells us what we "have to do" we must question the very basic correctness of such, and do what we can to right and/or change what is blocking our Constitutional Rights to not be interfered with as long as we are protecting the equal rights of individuals, and the basic form of the balance of powers of the CONSTITUTIONAL federalist system of organic common law.
Let's face it, the rules we are saddled with are way beyond their bounds, and transgress on the concept of sovereignty so important to the universal harmonic concepts of Constitutional Law (Missing 13th Amendment). The Bill of Rights are to be defended, by all peaceable means.
