"If any citizen of the United States shall accept, claim, receive, or retain any title of nobility or
honor, or shall, without the consent of Congress, accept and retain any present, pension, office, or emolument of any kind whatever, from any
emperor, king, prince, or foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen of the United States, and shall be incapable of holding any office of trust or profit under them, or either of them."
Welcome to the Project 13 Home Page
On March 12, 1819 the above article was ratified as the valid Article XIII of Amendment to the Constitution for the United States. This article of amendment added a strict penalty for violations of the constitutional prohibition on titles of nobility and other conflicts of citizenship interest. However, this Article "disappeared" from our Constitution, to be replaced by another made nearly 50 years later. You may well ask how such a thing could have happened.
So did we.
The disappearance of the original 13th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States has been under investigation by independent modern researchers during the past seventeen years.
We've learned a lot.
We now know that the original 13th Amendment was, and still is, the law of the land.
The law is still there, waiting only to be publicly recognized and enforced once again.
Project 13 is dedicated to continuing the research, and to placing all the facts and news on this important subject before the public.
This site is brought to you directly by the primary researchers themselves, functioning as the
TONA Committee of Correspondence.
Most of the material here is limited to factual material documented by the
researchers.

page.

this discovery, join the Project 13 ListServ where those discussions are taking

The TONA Committee of Correspondence hopes that the hard and sometimes tedious work of the committee and the personal sacrifice of time and money involved over the past 17 years will have a positive effect for you and our nation. The excitement of finding each new hidden piece of the puzzle has made it worthwhile for us.
There's always more to do, and this effort is absolutely vital to our national
interests.
