Renunciation of citizenship, to be recognized, needs to be done in person, to a US Consulate officer, while abroad.
Advantage: no longer liable for US taxes.
Disadvantages: You'll never legally enter the US again.
Anything that claims you can renounce, while in the US, and stay here, is a bunch of Freetard crap.
Is the air thinner in Greeley ???

One liberal disappears another 2 take their place. #@$%^ ME
And this is one of the reasons I looked into it. My friend who wants to do this thinks he can stay here and speed on the highways and pretty much not have to abide by any of the laws. I also like learning new stuff and found it interesting that people actually do this. So in no way shape or form am I going to give up my citizenship nor leave my country that my family has fought for no matter how bad it gets. My friend is not a bad gy either so do not get the wrong idea of the company I keep. He is just freaking out about losing his guns and thinks this might be the answer. He also was only talking about doing it if Obama declared marshal law.Quote:

That is a good question cause as I understand it now you do not belong to any country.Quote:

In another thread I said that all that will happen is liberal politicians will wax poetic about the dangers of high cap mags, and their voters will hold vigils for them. Conservative politicians will fail to bring up the issue of our disgusting mental health system because fixing it will take money, and increasing taxes (even as a way to hold down 2A rights for the tens of millions of safe, legal gun owners) would enrage their base, so they'll "stand firm" on gun control and conservatives will laud their courage. In the end, something similar to the old AWB will be passed. I am not saying this is a good thing, it is disgraceful. But we will not have the National Guard patrolling College Ave in FoCo, taking guns away from people on "the list".
Martial Law is not going to happen. I can say that confidently because if it does, I highly doubt this particular forum will still be online so that you can all prove how wrong I was ;)
Actually there are ways to become an expat. Most of it has to do with taxes though. I even had a list of the best countries to be an expat including Panama, Costa Rica and South Africa.
I read the OP and decided to reply before reading the other replies so I wouldn't be swayed.
I got married June 11, 2011. My wife is from Laos and came here when she was 4 years old as a refugee from the Communists with her family. She never got her citizenship (long story) but was a legal "Resident Alien" when I met her. My dad was born on a farm in England and came to the US when he was 5, got his citizenship asap. Remind me to tell you the story of how I was almost an Aussie...LOL.
Immediately after getting married my wife and I both wanted that she get naturalized as quickly as possible. We could have waited the X# of years (5 years I think?) before it became automatic, but she and I both wanted to do it ASAP. My wife wanted to be a US Citizen BADLY, and also to take my last name. The man she was with before me was also from Laos and didn't have these pro-US feeling. Get it?
I didn't have to explain the reasons to her for becoming a US Citizen. She heard the story over and over again about how her dad, then in the Laos Army, got my wife, her brother, her mom and himself onto a boat that was shot at as it escaped Laos. Luckily they all escaped the Communists...and are my family now. Great people.
I just can't imagine someone saying "F-it! I don't want to be an American Citizen any more!" unless they are either a flaming Communist or out of their mind (same thing).
