In the United States, the courts have held that a common law (such as names, marriages, the year, etc., etc.) is not abrogated unless a statute clearly and specifically states it. The courts in States which have not made their name change statutes exclusive have held that when the statute states a person may go to court or the court has jurisdiction to change names, that statute does not eliminate the common law right to use any name non-fraudulently, it merely assists the common law.

Most women use an 'alias' after marriage, since most marriage statutes (and the certificates they authorize) have no name change provision. This was a gender discrimination issue in the 1970's when some tyranocrats attempted to make law by requiring married women to use their husband's surname.

Note that in the rogue State of Florida, tyranocrats state in writing that they will not follow the Constitution or statutes. I wish King George had invaded them instead of Iraq.

This nation has been a haven for the morally and ethically bankruptcy. Peter Sharma did what he had to do to survive in this corrupt world. As Peter R. he paid his bills and was a model citizen. Whoever believes those who have a prison record or become victims of unfounded internet slander get a fair break should check out the reality of those beliefs. The system, not Peter should be punished

I am after any info on the use of aliases by local municipal government officials in public forum blogs.
