President's Tax Panel
Seeks Public Comments:
 
Lets Give Them Some

Panel To Meet Soon In DC, Tampa & Chicago


On February 16, 2005, at the first public meeting of the President's Advisory Panel on Federal Tax Reform, the Panel announced that as part of its process of making recommendations on fundamental tax reform it was seeking comments from the public regarding the current tax system.

In its first request, the Panel is soliciting comments (only) on the following specific topics:
(Quoting from the panel's website,
www.taxreformpanel.gov)
 

  1. Headaches, unnecessary complexity, and burdens that taxpayers - both individuals and businesses - face because of the existing system.
     
  2. Aspects of the tax system that are unfair.
     
  3. Specific examples of how the tax code distorts important business
    or personal decisions.
     
  4. Goals that the Panel should try to achieve as it evaluates the existing tax system and recommends options for reform.

We The People is encouraging everyone to take a few moments out of your busy lives and pen an articulate, deliberative note to the Panel with your comments. Your comments will become part of the public record.

We urge everyone to consider the significant consequences of missing this historic opportunity to put before the Panel, and document for our children's National Archives, the most important matters of constitutional abuse, moral outrage, and concern for the future of this nation as the Panel ponders whether to continue to impose upon the People a method of taxation that violates virtually every constitutional principle and protection provided by the Bill of Rights.

Indeed, the time has come to personally Petition the President's tax panel with your Grievances.

Thoughts to Consider


There are, without doubt, millions of sad and sordid stories from Americans everywhere that have fallen prey to  the current tax system and the illegal and immoral enforcement methods of the IRS.

WTP urges everyone that sends a message to the tax panel to remain respectful of the panel and its individual members, and to refrain from language or content that might be construed as threatening, abusive, unnecessarily emotional or otherwise improper. Please follow the guidelines provided by the panel for preparing and submitting comments.

WTP further urges our supporters to use this opportunity to establish and convey, in a most personal way -- for all posterity -- and the official historical record, your heartfelt thoughts and beliefs for the panel, and the judgment of history.

We The People have been given a limited window of opportunity to raise our voice and once more put before the panel, the public and our elected officials our truths -- and our Grievances.

Let the record clearly show the People knew well about the fraud of the income tax system, that they dearly embraced the rights bestowed upon them by their Creator, and that they were fully committed to peacefully ending the abuse and restoring Constitutional Order to the land.

Let history not record that the People sat by idly as the fate of the Republic and the freedom of the People were decided by a group of biased and self-interested parties which included a former IRS Commissioner, two former U.S. Senators, and a troupe of academicians and experts in law, economics and finance
-- without ever publicly uttering the words “Constitution” or “Bill of Rights.”

 

Stay Tuned!

In the coming days WTP will release important new developments in the ongoing Right-To-Petition lawsuit and about additional media messages and organizational activities related to the tax panel's upcoming meetings in Washington, DC (3/3), Tampa, Florida (3/8) and Chicago, Illinois (3/18).
