7 On May 17, 2013, Mr Hall sent the Division a letter in response to the "Final Notice of Cancellation" letter that he received This letter states:
First, cancelling the party on account of having earned less than an arbitrary amount of money puts a price tag on speech, and free speech is guaranteed by the first amendment to the constitution, which states, Congress shall make no Jaw respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances .. (portions bolded for emphasis) Second, the party earned just over $327 If the Florida Pirate Party was a person, that person would be eligible for the Earned Income Credit, the SNAP program, and several other federal assistance programs, not cancellation, though, if the party was a person, that cancellation would be renamed "execution" For these reasons, we appeal
To review the May 17, 2013 response letter, refer to exhibit 6

8. On February 5, 2013, the Division mailed a memo to "All Political Party Executive Committees" reminding them that the "2012 annual audit for state political party

9.. In the May 17, 2013 appeal response letter, Mr Hall states, "Regarding the public audit requirement, we tried to find a CPA in time We thought we would have our audit turned in on time, but we failed.. We accept the consequences on that one " I o review a copy of the May 17, 2013 appeal response letter, refer to exhibit 6.
Conclusion:
10 Based upon information gathered by staff, it appears that the Florida Pirate Party has had no financial activity during the 2012 calendar year, other than the $328.16 that was reported during the 2012 F3 reporting period
Respectfully submitted on September 5, 2013.

Preamble
We are the Flolida Pirate Party. We are the people We are originators. We are innovators We are consumers .. Best of all, we are voters .. ' \ We have been labeled Pirates because our opposition claims that anyone who uses anything created l:ly another person, without payment to that person or their designated representatives, is in violation of copyright 'Therefore, according to this ridiculous standard, we are Pirates because we speak and use language which was not created by us .. We refute their principles of operation as having no basis in logic or reason, excepting to secure their financial interest at the expense of guaranteed popular rights. Such principles erode any attempts at creating a cultwe in which the free flow of ideas can be expressed and expanded upon without prosecution, persecution, intimidation or censorship. Because we disagree with these principles on their face, and because we consider the reasoning behind them -----flawed,--we-ean-thUS-be-Eonsidered-nothing-other-than-Pirate ,
We are Pilates because we act in a way that effectively counters the assumed right of security in exchange for the guaranteed rights of our civil populace. We are Pirates because we care about the values of freedom and innovation, which must be protected for posterity .. We are Pirates because we dare to claim that the interests of innovation are not well served by the cwrent model of commercial enterprise. We accept the label of "Pilate" as a badge of honor, to be used in defense of freedoms everywhere. ·
We are Pirates, and this is ow party .. We are the champions of libelty. We are considered illegitimate thieves by those who openly take that which is not rightfully theirs. Action is necessary, and we are prepared to now act .. A more perfect time to act will not pass again .. Here we assemble under one baMel, to defend our civil liberties which are gravely threatened .. Ow banner is black, but ow aims are red, white, and blue ..
We hereby establish the Florida Pilate Pany for these and other high aims.

The use of the Great Seal is prohibited without the specific approval of the Department of State (sees .. 15 .. 03, Florida Statutes- a violation of which is a criminal offense). The Department never gives approval for the Great Seal's use for political purposes; therefore, the party needs to change its constitution and symbol to omit the Great Seal of Florida With this memorandum I am returning for yoUI files the documents forwarded to me for review. 1 recommend you provide a copy of this memorandum to the chairman of the proposed party for corrective action Attachment ( Pirate Party of Florida Pursuant to Florida statutes Sections 97.. 021 (18) and 103.. 091 (3), I Certify the following: (1) The name of the minor political party is the Florida Pirate Parcy ..

We are miginators .. We are innovators. We are consumers. Best of all, we are voters. We have~ labeled Pirates because our opposition claims that anyone who uses anything created bY another person, without payment to that person or their designated representatives, is In violation of -----•Cop.yrlght..lberefore,.according.to this ridiculo.us..standard~w.e..are.Pirates_b.e:!:.a~~w_e_s~ak""-'and""''"'u""se,______language which was not created by us .. We refute their principles of operation as having no basis in logic or reason, excepting to secure their financial interest at the expense of guaranteed populal rights .. Such ptinciples erode any attempts at creating a culture in which the free flow of ideas can be expressed and expanded upon without prosecution, persecution, intimidation or censorship .. Because we disagree with these plinciples on their face, and because we consider the reasoning b,ehind them flawed, we can dms be considered nothing other than Pirates We are Pirates because we act in a way that effectively counters the assumed right of security in exchange for the guaianteed rights of our civil populace. We are Pirates because we care about the values of freedom and Innovation, which must be protected for posteri~ .. We are Pirates because we dare to claim that the interests of innovation aze not well served by the current model of commercial enterprise. We accept the label of "Pirate" as a badge of honor, to be used In defense of freedoms evecywhere .. We are Pirates, and this is ow pal~ .. We are the champions of liberty, We are considered illegitimate thieves by those wbo openly take that which is not rightfully theirs .. Action Is nee~, and we are prepared to now act. A more perfect time to act will not pass again. Here we assemble under one banner; to defend our civil Uberties which are gravely threatened. Our banner is black, but ow aims are 1ed, white, and blue. We hereby establish the Piiate Party of Florida for these and other bigh aims ~ I Tide 1: General Principles & Resolve Article 1: Democratic Supremacy We believe In the principles of democracy: we uphold the right to democratic processes at all levels. We reject the notion that people are Incapable of governing themselves; if this was true, democracy would not be possible. Democracy shall prevail for so long as the minds of people remain free. It is therefore the duty of government to ensure democratic ideals .. We shall operate In all ways and in all activities with democratic ptinciples in mind. We are resolved to 11lillze a veto consensus method In all adminlsttative dealings, as well as with all issues btought to the membership to resolve, within reason and ptactlcallty. Article 2: Innovation, Progress and Freedom We support the light to innovate, as protected by the United States Constitution and the First Amendment We respect and support the ConstiMionally enumerated obligation for Congress to "promote the progress of science and useful arts" in Article I, Section 8, Clause 8. We also hold that our Founding Fathers knew how to best motivate people, and we wotk toward maintaining this standard once we achieve it again .. We shall forge new ideas for new kinds of business. We are opposed ----'--•to""'an""'y""attempranensorship, moi!opoly-ormtliliillatron-:-Gove1'flmenrhanl·espol!l>ibilit}rtll-to-sterboth·------ cornpetition and open markets while protecting individual rights, but not as less Important than those of any organizations or corporations .. We are resolved to do all within om powl!! to presetve the right of Innovation, promote progress, and thereby ensure the absolute and undeniable freedom of our population. Article 3: Governmental Transparency and Privacy We respect individual privacy, while at the same time demanding all matters of state be apen to the public. A govemment which treaiS liS people Uke criminals wlll breed criminals. Likewise, a government which promotes respect of individuals will breed respect. People will do what is expected, provided It is understand what expectations have been set. Thus, government must trust the governed if it Is to succeed in the new society . .,- All people deseJVe the right to privacy In their personal affairs. All people deserve dignity .. We are guaranteed to be free from Interference in our personal effects, papers, and private lives by the Fourth Amendment to om nation's Constitution. The Fourth Amendment does not specify that such protection is llmited only to government. We therefore uphold that privacy in one's communication, one's home, and one's ptivate life where there should be an expectation of privacy is Inalienable .. We decry any attl!!Dpts to monitor communications by armouncing that ptivacy is suspended, because an expectation of privacy must be preserved in all communications for demoi:racy to exist. It is thus counter to our nation's Ninth and Fourteenth Amendments to permit warrant ..Jess wiretapping, since the Implied tight to securicy- does not exceed the expressed right to be private from governmental interference .. ( All people desexve to be well-informed and involved with their respective governments. The ideal of democracy must be upheld by the people if it is to swvive; and this cannot happen if the government is closed to the public or interferes with the pxivate lives of its citizens. Such interference can also be achieved by failure to safeguard the right to privacy. Privacy Is necessaiY to ow· society's smooth function. Transparency is the only means by which government can ensure the popular support and involvement In governmental processes. And in the emergent global society, this involvement is crltical to the maintenance of our own sovereignty and the timely action of our government. We are resolved to promote transparent operation within government wherever possible, and to demand privacy for individual citizens In all things. We futther resolve to fight warrant-less wiretapping on the grounds that such Is indeed Unconstitutional and dlrectly counter to the aims of our Founding Fathers. Article 4: Copyrights, Patents, and Trademarks Copyright law has enjoyed the concept of Fair Use for decades. We uphold fiiit use as a defense for civil litigation against copyright infringement, as we believe that the large corporations, though opexating legally, violate the spiiit of the law when they sue unwitting individuals who simply want to enjoy media in the privacy of their own homes. Invasion of privacy demands a response. Even if a government is not the one tesponsible, it's still wrong. We view the practice of violating citizens' privacy as exploitative, even if it is to protect copyright. Fair use Is not Infringing use. We will continue to promote legal fair use in all ways possible, including _____1publlc._educatlon~and__wueek_to_e~anMair_ll.!;!i!, instead of liml!ID!I it as the cwrent tendency appears to do .. Copyrights are fine. Using them to exploit people is not acceptable. We will fight evexy battle It takes to prevent the exploitation of our nation's citizens. We support artist rights: artists should be not only correctly atttibuted, but also compensated. Artists are not compensated for theil contractually-enforced compliance to large corporate interests once they sell their copyrights, and we.. believe that more of the atttibution (and resulting royalties) should go to the artists than to those who are producing works that the population is no longer interested ln .. In addition, copyright is being subverted to erode civil liberties, and as such we find an obligation to er·adfcate the portions that permit such etosion. We consider the right of use with co1rect attribution sufficient where the original wo!Xs may not be recognizable, or where their use ls insignificant to the whole of the work, including (but not limited to) sampling and remixing of orlglnal works to create new works. We uphold the right to use and distribute derivative works, provided correct atttibutlon is maintained. Patents, which are commonly abused and used to prevent progress and innovation, should be far more limited than they are now .. Much of the value of patents come from the public disclosure of lnfonnation enabling others to reproduce the invention. We believe that if no patents existed, it would be to the detriment of progress and Innovation; howevet, we also do not recognize an unchallengeable claim that a patent should be retained if no progress is made in its development. Trademarks are commonly abused. A trademark should not also have a copyright. In addition, a trademaxk's use should be allowable in satire, parody, and hwnor; for so long as no association to the trademark holder Is implied, and correct attribution is given, there should be no issue with its use, even by competitors .. A trademark should be used for branding. and for identification of a company. While these uses should be protected, they are not; and other uses ;ue protected which should not be We resolve to reform laws to promote innovation, progress. and thereby ensure freedom. It is only a productive society which can ensure it's own freedom. Article 5: Due Process, Self-Incrimination, and Freedom of Association Due Process of Law is required in a free and democratic society and guaranteed by the Fourth and Sixth Amendments. For this reason, we resolve to uphold due process of law, even when contmy to our own stated interesiS. 1bis does not imply that we agree with all laws, but the process of law must be upheld throughout until either we are victorious or no further changes are possible .. Our country's Constitutional Fifth Amendment gives freedom from self·· incrimination. Wblle the interests of justice and freedom require truth, no individual should ever be compelled to testify against themselves, nor· by failing to testify against themselves implied to have admitted guilt by omission. We are against the practice of compelling people to incriminate themselves, and we view It as an abuse of justice. Many times, what someone is hiding is not their own guilt, but rather their associations to others .. Such associations, where productive, should never imply complicity or· agreement to an individual's motives. We also have the freedom to associate and gathe1 for any reason we feel is appropriate, as long as we're -----,.,.onrdvocating-or-engagtngin-violence;-as-guaranteed-by-the-First-Amendment.We-believe-m------ democratic processes, aod gathering to show support for or opposition of any policy ls an informal request for a redress of grievances .. These are protected righiS and were made so by the Founding Fathers of our nation .. Our freedom of association is important and fundamental; and thus, by remaining silent, we should not feel compelled to either commit perjury or incriminate ourselves .. If we me penalized for remaining silent, such penalties currently imply that we have admitted guilt. Implication of guilt being different from an assw:ance of guilt, such evidence should never be submitted to any court where It shows that a person was compelled to admit guilt when it was not Indeed admitted We resolve to advocate due process of law; to discover, ensu.re, and remove all end-nms around ttue justice; and to uphold that a person's association with a group does not imply inclusion In, acceptance of, 01 support for their Ideals and goals. Article 6: Minorities, Prejudice, & Foreign Sovereignty Minorities are not recognized .. We are all human Prejudice simply makes no sense, where matters of predetennlnatlon are concerned. We recognize that there are differences In skin color, bone strUcture, belief, thought, attitude, and values. These differences are desirable and important to a free society. Therefore, such differences should be embraced rather than used as a means of separation or limitation We have no room for p~judgment As such, the only limitations for any office within our pmty is the ability to do the job, and to be either a voting dtizen of our nation, or to be of legal resident-alien statuS and to be working on attaining / ,--- I' citizenship status. We also recognize that those who hail from fon~ign nations deserve the benefit of education regarding our system of govermnent and how it works, as well as addressing any perceived shortcomings therein. However, if they do not want such education, we should not force their acceptance of it Even if a government requests assistance, it should be the voice of the people which is heard, rather than the voice of the governing body. 'This is the upholding of democratic principle and operation ~y consensus. Foreign nations likewise should not be forced to enforce our laws; nor should we theirs .. All nations deserve to conduct their own internal affairs as sovereign .. While we can criticize and admonish, democratic principles demand that we allow other governments to operate in the manner they see fit, even if we do not agree with their methods, ideology, or definitions. They have the right to kill and enslave their citizens, but they do not have the right to do the same to ours .. Likewise, we should not force democratic ideals upon them .. We should uphold the right of sovereignty even in our own lands. The ptinciples of democracy should convey to the people the necessity of action, and leave the choice of action to the people .. This guarantee of foreign sovereignty does not imply that we should support tyt ants .. Our nation cannot and should not support or continue to permit tytanny in any form. When a nation that we trade with kills or enslaves its citizens, our nation has a right to speak against such things. We also have a tight to cease trade .. We must be willing to accept the Iisks associated with maintaining high ideals and yet not forcing those ideals on others .. Even with the cessation of ttade, howevet~ we must support democratic processes and continue to encourage democratic ideals, even while we cease trade with those who -----~would-enslave-or-oppress-their-populatlons.--We-must-be-willlng-to-ioconvenience-ourselves-tO-Uphol:u.------ ow principles, or they are not principles at all, and merely words which convey a nice idea. We must also maintain our own sovereignty .. Foreign nations have no right to impede or intrude upon ow sovereign status; likewise, we have no rights where foreign nat!Dns are concerned. To tty to control foreign countries is to invite the ile of others .. Our nation does not need or deserve the Ire of others. We should therefore support sovereignty of all countries while encouraging democratic ideals, without direct interference in the operation of sovereign nations or theil systems of government. If our system is superior, people will naturally see that it Is so and adopt it; if otherwise, a bette! system wlli surely come into place .. We resolve to help our country understand that foreign powers should remain sovereign In all things, even where we disagree .. Exceptions to this include the necessity of violent resolution, should our nation be attacked, for so long as just action can be maintained. Article 7: File Sharing, Distribution, Consumer Rights, and Originator Rights There is no crime in sharing files, nor should there be The crime comes when those who created the content of these files are unpaid. We do not aim to legitimize theft; we aim to help create a business model that incorporates free distribution Those who share music should pay the artists directly .. No middle-man is necessaty, as no fee is needed for distribution. We therefore do not recognize the legitimacy of groups like the RIAA, IFPI, and similai organizations whose main pwpose, in their current incarnation, is to protect corporate interests above those of the artists and the conswners. We reject ali claims made of benefit to the artist and the upholding of artists' rights until such time that either their practices significantly alter to pennit such benefic, or such benefit becomes plain for all to see., So long as indusoy mganizations of any kind continue to exploit either consumers or the originators of the products such organizations (or their members) produce, our-pwpose In the defense of democratic principles is compounded., Those who share movies should pay the producer{s) of the film, not the distributors,, Again, disttibution should be free, There is already sufficient capital exchange that occurs in the production and theater showing of any film; there is no need to burden consumers by requiling their further purchase of media where no purchase should be needed .. Those who share software should pay only if that software is useful to them, and then only what that software is worth to them .. Programmers should be the ones paid; not disttibution companies .. Specifically, game designers should have the same status as rock stars in ow society, because what they do excites us just as much. Large distribution companies should not be necessary in a system built around our modem infrasnuctnre, particularly when such lnfrasnucture virtUally eliminates the need for physical media. The challenge, then, becomes one of convincing users that a particular game is worth paying for .. Profits increase and price decreases at the same time. It benefits the programmers when a game Is sold; but if people are unwilling to buy, then the game's value to the population decreases. Simple economics are no longer possible when a company seeks to hide its resources behind one dlsttibutor Market-savvy consumeis are no longer loyal to branding, but to the originating studios--and thence, to the programming team itself. If a team Is 11n5uccessful at amalgamation but they produce a perfect product, then amalgamation is not necessary .. Likewise, If consumers are best served ~ the presence of -----a· given-fomrorentertainmenram:tcarrobtainitforiree;-they-should-obtain-it-for-free-and-only-pay~----- what they believe it Is wo!th. The enjoyment of gaming is found in the challenge to win, not in the winning itself Excluding people on the basis of ability to pay means excluding potential talent. We intend to wo!lc toward the establishment and maintenance of a pr·ofitab!e business model in all aspectS of distributed-media industty, a model which does not exploit artists or require the originators of works to sign away their rights to their innovative works. We want to help a flailing !ndusoy to realize the errors of its ways in a new and market·savvy society, because the old ways no longer work. We reject the idea that in order to profit, one must exploit others or force thi!ID to our will. We do not accept that there is anything inherently wrong with file sharing., It is our wish to ~reate a climate in whicb the free exchange of cultural ideals can occur. We do not accept that entertainment should be our· top priority in life , nor do we agree that any one person, group, or industry (short of humanity itself) can own the rights to any culture, nor to the product thereof. We have a business model to base things from .. It's a matter of risking the loss of control that those of industrial thinking believe is necessary to profit. Many companies have proved that It's completely urmecessary to continue the old methods of market domination. The best company in the world is the one which Is best able to adapt to the changing needs of society; not one whicb seeks to ovenide these needs with an outdated business modeL We must find a means to work within the system, but so must those who oppose us, 1be stakes are high, and one entire indusoy's existence hangs In the balance. It is time they listened instead of making deiDands. We resolve to educate the public about lawful uses of file-sharing, its beneficial purposes, and why it should become legal to share all manner of files .. Article 8: Unpopular Beliefs, Free Speech, and Network Neutrality For millennia, unpopular beliefs were held to be climinal. The adherents of many ideas now widely accepted were pe!Secuted fm hundleds of years before finally finding acceptance. Endless persecutions still exist for new ideas. We are willing to allow unpopular beliefs because it is only when unpopular beliefs are pe1mitted that we are also pe!mitted to hold our own unpopular beliefs .. We uphold the right to be unpopular. Where there is a difference of opinion, people should be at least willing to listen. The less people are willing to listen to things they personally find distasteful, the Jess those who express such things will be able to learn Likewise, we are agamst others determining our desires and shaping om apparent will against om wishes .. Flee speech demands that computer networks likewise remain open and free from the interference of others. The right of the people to be free from governmental !nli"ingement upon our communications is guaranteed in our nation's First Amendlnent to the Constitution .. However, commercial interference must also be protected against While we are not opposed to the use of self regulating "smart" networks, we are opposed to the use of such for the purposes of profitability, and we are likewise opposed with regard to hutnan··managed netWorking apparatus because of the high potential for abuse Self-regulating networks are neutral, as the rules regarding their operation are unchanged. We therefore support network neuttality, rather than any kind of "equal" network. A neuttal network is required for democracy to prevail.. We resolve to uphold the right of free speech, because even if we disagree with the message, the right to speak and be heard should be upheld in all cases. This includes the r@it to express unpopulif5elle:r.:s----- in a rational manner, as well as the right to be free from Interference with our expression by the unscrupulous .. Article 9: Acting Within the Law & Civil Liberties We do not promote, advocate, support, or engage in illegal activities. Where there is a disparity between individual action and the Jaw, the law wins. However, if the law is incorrect, based on incorrect or invalid principles, or created because of political pressures rather than because it's right, we hold that these laws should be changed .. Changing a law does not require civU disobedience. We uphold the civil liberties of all peoples. Freedom to Innovate is at all levels the right of the people .. It benefits government when the people innovate, because govemmental interests In the promotion of progress and the upholding of popular rights Is based In the abil!ry to express new ideas .. We reject the notion that civil liberties must be sacrificed in order to maintain order or to serve justice .. We resolve to further civil liberties in our own countty through education and public service. Article 10: Voting, Voting Rights, and Taxation All citizens are entitled to participate in their government. We will promote the right to vote for all ( / citizens, regardless of legal srarus. Our Declaration of Independence explains that taxation without representation under the law was abhorrent to our founding fathers .. We hold this to be a timeless truth, and so if any portion should be disallowed voting rights, the same should be entitled to be free from taxation .. This includes unpopulm· segments of society, such as o!minals, as well as more popular segments, and membeiS of our elected government. Our candidates are free to support or oppose the Elect01al College system, as this system has not been shown to either uphold or denigrate democratic principles, the values of a free society, or anything that opposes these. However, we do recognize that this system is in need of reform. In a well-regulated democtat!c society with open communications, representative voting is no longer necessary, as our· infrastructure is capable of clearly indicating the will of the people. Gerrymandering circumvents the reason for having free and open elections in a democracy. Though gerrymandering is common practice in our country, we are opposed to it, and would seek to establish a nonpartisan committee to review and establlsh boundaries for each Congressional disb!ct based on both predetermined and more current fair criteria, where voting is concemed. We would also seek to establish new criteria by Constitutional Amendment, if necessary to secure a nonpartisan method of dividing Congressional districts. If such is not necessary, we would see no need to continue working toward it We resolve to uphold the tight of truly universal suffrage among our citizens.

Article 11: Freedom, Societal Advancement, and Being a Pirate A free society recognizes that freedom comes at a price. This price is responsibility to the government. Government and the governed should be an equal. symbiotic, and interdependent relationship, whereby the government provides what the people demand, and the people provide the needs of government in return. Whc!re one has more control over the other, there can be no stability or balance In the long term .. We understand that society is advancing into a new era of thought, and this era is mmked by extended opp01tunities and competitive genen>sity .. Beginning with several thousand consumers, it has become several hundred companies, and this movement Is growing not only In scope, but also in magnitude. We recognize that in order for society to advance, there must be an appreciation of values. The advent of the internet In the average person's life universally causes social change, and this Is a global change that cannot be legislated against. We suppon this ttansition into a new society, with new values and new ideas. Our aim is to promote thls change, and to assist those who have difficulty with it We also see that others label us Pirates because we disagree With them (regardless of whether or not we actually engage in piracy, we are so labeled because of our opposition to their ideals). We are told that any time one uses something that doesn't belong to them, that one Is engaging in infringement, and therefore piracy. Because we all use language (which doesn't belong to us), we are Infringing on those who created it. Because we don't pay a royalty, we are all Pirates. t' ' We resolve to continue using the name "Pirate" for our political party, in the name of freedom and social progress.

This is our appeal. Regarding the public audit requirement, we tried to find a CPA in time We thought we would have our audit turned in on time, but we failed. We accept the consequences on that one However, the other reason for our cancellation, the failure to have aggregate reported financial activity of at least $500, that one, we wish to appeal. First, canceling the party on account of having eamed less than an arbitJary amount of money puts a price tag on speech, and free speech is guaranteed by the first amendment to the constitution, which states, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the fr·eedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble. and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. (portions bolded fot emphasis) Second, the party earnedjust over $327 If the Florida Pirate Party was a person, that person would be eligible for the Earned Income Credit, the SNAP program, and several other federal assistance programs, not cancellation, though, if the party was a person, that cancellation would be renamed "execution" F 01 these reasons, we appeaL ~~ w J C'">lf :J: ::0-· """ I thank you for reading over our appeal, r'l£, -<. -i~t-- ) >.....:;:=,:; .,..J t,· 1 Bradley Hall, Chairman, Florida Pirate Party ..
