All plaintiffs are citizens of the United States of America, residing in one of the fifty states, outside of areas ceded to the government of the United States.

All plaintiffs believe: 1) the federal government is abusing its delegated taxing powers, war-making powers, money-making powers and/or police powers [1]; 2) the People have the Right to Petition for Redress of these Grievances; 3) the People have the Right to have their grievances heard and answered once their Petitions are presented to their elected representatives; and 4) the People have the Right of Redress Before Taxes until their grievances are heard, in order to peaceably procure relief, without trusting to the Petitions and without disturbing the public tranquility.

All plaintiffs are: 1) business owners, purportedly required by the Internal Revenue Code to collect and turn over to the government various taxes tied to the labor of their workers; or 2) workers, retirees and independent contractors, purportedly required by the Internal Revenue Code to file tax returns and pay taxes tied to their earnings.

All plaintiffs have: 1) directly questioned their elected representatives about one or more of these grievances but have had their petitions ignored; and/or 2) have been supporting one or more of the four “We The People” Petitions for Redress of Grievances served on every member of Congress and the President in November of 2002, which Petitions have been ignored. [2]

All plaintiffs are: 1) withholding, filing and paying the taxes under duress, because they are afraid of the IRS; or 2) not withholding, filing or paying the taxes until the government properly hears and answers the Petitions for Redress of Grievances.
