Private Membership Association - Benefits & Guidance

Private Membership Association - Benefits & Guidance

A properly-formed Private Membership Association (PMA), operating outside the public domain, can guarantee freedom of assembly and speech under the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. To wield control over the entity, one can become the controlling trustee member of a PMA. The associations have a 90%+ win rate when fighting victimless crimes.

For example, a PMA was used by Hardcore Barbell, a gym out of Hazel Dell, WA to stay open during the COVID-19 pandemic despite virtually every other business having to close. The local Sheriff even knew not to bother them because they had a sign that said something like, "Private Membership Association - Members Only". This type of association can be a perfect fit for professionals, businesses, or any entity that needs to avoid similar restrictive laws. PMAs allow for the avoidance of public laws that do not actually prevent any harm / torts from arising, known as victimless crimes. This occurs because every client signs an agreement to become a Member of the PMA, thus entering a private contract, a hold-harmless agreement, and other afforded protections.

From the lowest to highest uses, these could help avoid prostitution laws (e.g. states cannot restrict cathouses), drug or alcohol laws (e.g. dry counties cannot restrict sale to private members in a building), lockdown laws (e.g. laws cannot restrict normal business), medical laws (e.g. laws cannot restrict use of natural, osteopathic, or alternative treatments that members have agreed to participate in), or even maintain privacy of business and financial affairs (e.g. any natural rights are respected).

NOTE 1: We do not teach nor offer PMAs, although we offer a sample document. A PMA can be used in-union with all of our other programs. The Bulletproof Trust itself can be customized to act like a membership association too, and offers all the protections needed for virtually every business category. Only those in the MEDICAL or FOOD industries should seek the templated PMA offered by Pro Advocate Group to protect against FDA harrassment (see FAQ).

NOTE 2: Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803) and Thomas v Collins, 323 U.S. 516 (1945) are the cited U.S. Supreme Court cases protecting the right of Private Membership Associations.
