The following is a letter I wrote to the Social Security Administration in which I asked about the requirements to have a Social Security Number. I wanted to see if they would give me some information that would show that I was off base.

Sirs,

I would like to get written clarification on a few key questions
concerning my rights in regards to lawful requirements to participate 
in Social Security.  Your assistence in this matter is greatly 
appreciated.

1) Are U.S. citizens unconditionally required by law to obtain a Social 
Security Number?

2) Assuming the answer to the above is "no", is it lawful for a U.S. 
citizen without a Social Security Number to hold a job and earn a 
living with any company in the United States?

3) Assuming the answer to #2 is "yes", what procedure(s) does the 
law provide for a U.S. citizen without an Social Security Number when 
he/she is hired by a company that asks for (and insists on) a Social 
Security Number?

Your clarification on the above is needed and appreciated.  Thank
you.

I thought the logic here was quite straightforward, and that it would be easy for them to answer.

All information presented here is done so under the protection of the First, Fourth, Ninth, and Tenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, and article I section 2 of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Furthermore, as established in the famous trial of William Penn in August 1670, and contrary to the unlawful instructions given by most American judges, in addition to judging the facts of a case, juries also have the right and duty to pass judgement on the law (meaning they may acquit a violator of the law if they believe the law in question is unconstitutional, immoral, just plain stupid, or if the penalty is deemed too harsh). Juries are also lawfully free to vote according to their conscience, above all other considerations.
