Day 28:  Still No Answers for Rose Lear

“It’s Up to The People to Save Me”

Hunger Strike Enters 5th Week
Second Liberty Hour Video Released

Tuesday, April 1st marked the end of the fourth week Rose Lear of Muskegon, Michigan has gone without food in an attempt to force the U.S. Government to answer hundreds of specific legal questions about U.S. income tax laws. Click here to see a photo of Rose on Capitol Hill on Day 27.

Lear, 52, is determined to get the answers that, to date, no official of the U.S. government will answer.  Her husband, William Lear, was convicted late last year of “Willful Failure to File” in a trial involving a legally dubious indictment and a questionable prosecution that appear to have violated the protections of (his) due process rights.  

In her latest press release (dated 3/31) Rose Lear states, “To secure Peace and eliminate the people’s fear of Government, to secure the First Amendment Rights of the people to confront their government by non-violent means, to secure all that America was to hold as sacred, I will risk and give my life.” 

When contacted at her hotel in DC this afternoon, Lear stated that the People – all the People – “deserve an answer -- for all their questions.”  Rose also stated that the responsibility for her death, should it come to that, must be shared by the “People” – for it is they that have lost control of the government to the extent that it now can ignore a dying woman asking questions about the laws of this nation.   

She pleaded with everyone to keep pressure on their Congressmen and their staffs both in DC and at their local state offices.  She continued that it was ultimately “the People” that would have to save her.  She continued, “We will get all the issues on the table and get all the answers.”   Lear is insistent that the questions of law be answered under a sworn oath, just as citizens are apparently required to do on their tax forms.

She was in good spirits, but her voice was clearly weak.  She was not able to make it to Capitol Hill today as she has planned to do each day during her fast.  Concerning her physical condition, Lear remarked that her “body is falling apart” and that she was “pushing it beyond what was intended”. She also reported new and potentially serious medical complications.  She admitted she was “clearly on the downgrade.” 

On Wednesday morning (4/2), Lear will be the guest on a 2-hour talk radio show from Chicago on WBIG 1280.  Everyone is urged to not only listen to the live broadcast over the internet, but to attempt to contact their Congressman live during the show.  Click here to access the live show. 

A special telephone conference “hub” has been set up so that during the radio show people can call their Congressional offices have their representative, or a staff member, talk live to Rose on the radio.  Click here for all the phone details.  The show is from 8-10 AM  Central, 6-8 AM Pacific.  Click here to obtain the phone and fax numbers of your Congressmen.

New LIBERTY HOUR Video  

We The People has just released the second installment in the “LIBERTY HOUR with Bob Schulz” video series.  The video was taken last week when Rose Lear visited her House representative, Rep. Peter Hoekstra on Capitol Hill.  The tape details Rose’s review of documentation formally serving her Petitions and her personal demands that the Congressman answer her questions.  The last part of the video provides a brief overview of “Operation Stop Withholding” where WTP is urging all workers and companies to stop withholding because it is NOT required under US law and because the Right to withhold money from the government pending redress of grievances is a fundamental Right guaranteed by the First Amendment .  

The video runs 45 minutes and is available for both low and high speed connections.  More links will be added in the next several days. Click here for links to the LIBERTY HOUR videos.
