Scott, you do NOT "represent" the court.  You are not an officer of the
Court.  As a Notary you are nothing more than a professional or 
official witness..........PERIOD.

huh?  Scott, an affidavit contains a statement from the person MAKING
the affidavit, (The "Affiant" ) that the information is "accurate" or
true and correct.  All a Notary does is witness the signing of that
affidavit with a statement something like......"Sworn to and subscribed
before me this ---day of ---------, 199-."
