JUNE 29TH CONFERENCE: We
have received hundreds of responses to our question: "June
29th Conference. What shall we do?" We thank everyone who took
the time to respond. HERE
ARE THE TASKS THAT WE HAVE DECIDED TO UNDERTAKE. Every task is considered
to be part of our overall educational program aimed at educating public
officials and the general public about the seemingly unconstitutional and
illegal operations of the income tax system. Even if we go to court we
would be going for the purpose of testing the judicial attitude on the
issues. This is an educational program, not a political program! Let's all
stay focused on the facts, the constitution and the law. Believe
us when we tell you that we will not be able to accomplish much unless
everyone lends a hand in one way or the other. This must be a team effort.
Please do what you can, task-by-task. PLEASE MONITOR OUR WEB SITE AND OUR
LEGALITY OF INCOME TAX e-GROUP FOR DAY-TO-DAY DEVELOPMENTS AND PROGRESS. There
is a message about costs at the end of the task list. THE
TASK LIST: PRE-CONFERENCE 1.
We will
go forward with the June 29th conference at the National Press Club. 2.
We will run a full page ad (maybe two pages, side by side if we can
find the money) in the weekly national edition of the Washington Times,
under the heading, "Dear Government: Why don't you answer," and
we will feature Jason Furman's quote, "The legality of the income tax
is not a Priority Item for the White House."
It will include our three Propositions and an open letter to the
President, Speaker Hastert and Senator Lott, requesting once again that
they identify their most knowledgeable people to participate in the
conference to argue against the propositions. The two page spread will
also have an open letter to those people that we know have studied the
issue and support the propositions, asking them to please join us on June
29th. If we can raise enough
money we will run an ad in Insight Magazine as well. The Washington Times
and Insight are found in all Congressional offices and in the offices of
others who concern themselves with what's happening governmentally. The ad
will appear in the issue that arrives in mailboxes on Monday, June 19,
2000. 3.
We need everyone's help to get the likes of Ron Paul, Alan Keyes, Pat
Buchanan, Harry Browne and Howard Phillips to attend on June 29th and
speak their minds on the legality of the income tax. EVERYONE NEEDS TO
PHONE OR FAX THESE PEOPLE and ask them to attend the event. TIME IS OF THE
ESSENCE. DO IT NOW. :-) Keyes' scheduler is Carla: (972) 420-8866 and carla1@airmail.net.
His chief of staff is Mary Parker Lewis: (703) 461-7632 or 370-4950.
Buchanan's number is (703) 734-2700. His scheduler is Joanne: Fax (703)
734-2705 and joanne@bucananreform.com.
There is a grassroots organization in every state for the election of
Keyes. He has a toll free
number 888-307-2526. Maybe
that number could give the web site of Keyes and people working for him to
help get out the word and to get Keyes present.
In Colorado the web site is lonniev@coloradoforkeyes.org.
Greg Orrell is a good friend of Ron Paul's. We need someone to reach him
at his tool free number, which is 1-800-779-4681 and gregorrell@msn.com.
Greg is located in California so remember the time zone difference.
4.
We will invite George W. Bush and Al Gore. 5.
We will invite another source of experts such as professors,
constitutional scholars, attorney's, historians, etc. Any
ideas? Anyone ready to help with this task? We need to know who to
fax the invitations to. 6.
We will inform certain notables that the "legality of the income tax
is not a priority item" for the government, and invite them to attend
the June 29th conference, such as Walter Williams, Charles Reese,
Llewellyn Rockwell, Jr., Joseph Sobran, Rush Limbaugh, Thomas Fleming,
Thomas Sowell, John Stossel, Irwin Schiff , James Bovard, William Greider,
G. Edwin Griffin and Martin L. Gross. Anyone ready to help with this task?
We need to know who to fax the invitations to. 7.
We will inform the various political think tanks that the "legality
of the income tax is not a priority item" for the government, and
invite them to attend the Conference. Anyone ready to help with this task?
We need to know who to fax the invitations to. 8.
We will have empty chairs, if necessary, labeled "White House",
"Senate" and "House of Representatives". 9.
We will pull out all the stops to get C-SPAN and other media to
cover the event. Anyone ready to help with this task? Contact C-SPAN and
politely request that they cover the June 29th conference on the legality
of the income tax: events@c-span.org.
10.
We will send a press release to all daily and weekly newspapers about the
"not a priority item" response and about the June 29th
conference. Anyone ready to supply the e-mail list we will need? POTENTIAL
TASK LIST: POST CONFERENCE (Note:
This is a list of suggested tasks. Much will depend on what happens at the
conference, who and how many step forward to help with these tasks and how
much money and other resources are available.) 11.
Launch a comprehensive educational effort focusing on the evidence in
support of the three propositions, and the fact that the illegality of the
income tax is not a priority matter for the government. We will take the
issue directly to the American people through the best media channels we
can muster. We need three or four people to help us with this task.
12.
Invite the media from other countries to film the proceeding. As the lady
said, everyone seems to be interested in what's going on in America, why
not let them be our
broadcasters. Cable TV can
bring it right in the back door. Anyone ready to help with this task? 13.
Begin to drive home the point that, "The people will file their
1040's when the government gives the people a fair hearing on the legality
of the income tax." 14.
Attempt to unite with all other organizations that are fighting
governmental expansion and tyranny. (2nd Amendment, 4th Amendment, 5th
Amendment, etc). We will start by scheduling a People's Summit Against
Governmental Tyranny. Anyone ready to help with this task? 15.
Call our Senators and Representatives to encourage them to pass a
Resolution declaring that the 16th amendment was not properly or legally
ratified. NOTE: Congressional Switchboard Toll-free Numbers (Keep these
numbers for future use):
1-888-449-3511;1-800-241-7109;1-877-778-9001; and 1-800-648-3516. They
really work today! Experience
shows that most of these 800 numbers will work for awhile then disappear.
So use them as long as they are available, but do not be surprised
when they are no longer valid numbers. And it sometimes takes a long time
for someone to answer - so be patient. Anyone ready to get the ball
rolling by drawing up the Resolution? 16.
Get many more people to sign the Remonstrance. Each signer should ask two
others to sign it, and ask
them to ask two others, and so on. We will get a few hundred of those who
have already signed to place a call ON THE SAME DAY? Those with last name
beginning A-D will make a call on a Monday, on Tuesday those with last
name beginning E-H will make a call, and so on. We will arrange it so that each person getting called gets at
least 100 similar calls per day. We
will arrange a rotation, so that when V-Z finishes, A-E begins the next
day. Each caller politely
asks why the President, or Speaker Hastert or Senator Lott has not
answered the April 13th letter which was delivered to the White House and
the Capitol on April 13th, along with the Income Tax Remonstrance, by a
delegation of people representing every one of the 50 states.
Letters are good, but calls are better. Someone has to answer the
phone, give their name and take down a note. 17.
Get on as much talk-radio as possible. Anyone ready to send us a list of
fax numbers for all talk-radio stations in America, along with a one page
description of the issue and a list of the people who are willing to be
called to be interviewed on the subject? 18.
Get the video of the meetings with Furman, Keotzle and Hennessey, as well
as an update on the "not a priority item" issue, on local public
access TV channels all over the country. Anyone ready to help us with this
task? 19.
Begin planning a "million taxpayer" march in DC with everyone
wearing navy blue windbreakers with words on the back in large block
letters in yellow-gold reading "TYRANNY RESPONSE TEAM." Anyone
ready to help with this task? 20.
Develop a picketing strategy at the local offices of legislators where
their local staffs can feel the pressure of the effort.
An "All we want is a fair hearing!" approach should get
some interest from the local press. Perhaps
we can organize groups from each state to picket local 21.
Bob Heckler, owner of WXBH 1190 AM in Cobleskill, N.Y. is giving away free
time on his radio station. From there the signal could go via satellite to
those Am and FM stations around the country that would like to carry a
certain hour everyday devoted to this issue and the rising demand for
truth and justice on the issue of the legality of the income tax. Anyone
ready to help with this task? 22.
Develop a massive database to be used only by We The People to update
everyone on developments, a database larger even than the one that got
Jessie Ventura propelled into office. Everyone should contact their
friends and ask if it is okay if they were added to the database. 23.
Inform all the Governors and the journalists that cover the state
capitols, and the Colleges and Universities in those states about the
issue. We will schedule the first of our State symposiums for September
and October. We need at least one point man/women for every state. Any
volunteers? 24.
Establish a "Freedom Think Tank" to create strategy, and guide
developments. Any volunteers? 25.
Do the same thing the Civil Rights Movement has done. We will organize in
each state. We will educate people in every neighborhood so that all
potential jurors are fully informed. We will have a national headquarters
with a committee. We will disseminate information to the state chapters
and to the national media, internet, etc. We will form MASS, peaceful--but
vocal-- demonstrations that will force national media coverage. In other
words, we will have a national movement policy that is grassroots
implemented in every state. Also, and very important, we will set up a
legal defense network (like the Homeschool Legal Defense) that will
support the movement, i.e. to defend persons exercising their right
to untaxed labor, to train and recruit legal persons, and to educate and
support employers in their rights NOT to act as federal and state tax
collectors. We will set deadlines to reach certain goals; then, we will
move forward to the next set of goals. Again, we need people able and
ready to lead this effort in the states. Any volunteers? 26.
Create a Video of a debate using a Mac G3 or G4 and a Video Camera and
publish the debate over the internet so everyone can evaluate the
discussion. Anyone ready to help with this task? 27.
Gradually develop a public presence and notoriety for the issue. 28.
Make a sequel to the tapes, where we explain what has occurred, and at the
end give contact information for Furman et al. 29.
Prepare for a class action lawsuit. We will consult with a Libertarian or
conservative public interest law firm qualified to handle a matter such as
this. We will contact all the patriot groups, to get them involved and we
will get Larry Becraft to represent us.
30.
Seek one-on-one meetings with Senators and Representatives to educate them
on the issues. One e-mail we received today is instructive. Here it is."I
happen to be a personal friend of a conservative Congressman from
Illinois, Donald Manzullo of Rockford.
I have known Don for longer than he has been in Congress. He is now in his fourth term.
I think that Don might be willing to give me a meeting if I asked
him for one. However, I am
very reluctant to do this without being absolutely and totally convinced
that we would be giving him something of the utmost importance and most
vital need to demand his time. (I
do believe, by the way, that this is an issue of this magnitude.)
Don is close enough to us that he wrote the foreword to our book on
homeschooling, 'The Guidance Manual for the Christian Home School,' which
hit the streets last month. Whether
he would give us an audience remains to be seen, since I am no longer a
constituent. But I think I could influence him to consider it. I would be
willing to set up such a meeting if you, Bob, thought such a meeting would
be appropriate AND if you personally would present the information to Don.
I would also add that Don is currently next in line to head the
House Small Business Committee (could be off on the exact name, but that
is close). He is also on the
International Relations, and Banking Committees. Don is a man of high integrity as far as I know him."
Anyone else have similar strengths? 31.
Scour neighborhoods with clear and easy to understand flyers, brochures,
pamphlets or calling card sized handouts that will be professionally
designed and that get right to the point. Again, we need people ready and
able to lead this task in the states. 32.
Set-up nationwide groups of people to participate in the conference
without flying to Washington D.C. Small and large groups should be encouraged, supported and
promoted, as long as they are legal and loud. These groups need to contact
the local media and let them know approximately how many will be there for
the event, as well as the summary of what they are protesting.
We will make sure that these groups do not get rowdy, remaining
within the law at all times. Everyone needs to begin to make the
arrangements for these media events in their states.
33.
Focus attention on David C. Williams, Treasury Inspector General for Tax
Administration. He has the
authority to remove a District Director from office for misconduct. We
will file complaints and requests for investigation of IRS agents known to
be harassing citizens who are not foreigners working in this country or
U.S. citizens earning their wages overseas. 34.
Set up a team of experts as a defense against the IRS if they take anyone
to court for tax evasion or willful failure to file. We will sue IRS
agents in their individual capacities, for acting without constitutional
authority, under color of law -- for violating individual civil rights. 35.
Compose
a short statement of the facts and submit it to the International
Directory of Investigative Journalists, to encourage as many investigative
journalists to dig into the facts surrounding the people and events which
gave America the income tax and the Federal Reserve in 1913. See http://www.ire.org/membership/dij.html.
Anyone ready to help with this task?
36.
Prepare a flyer: for our sons
or daughters to bring to their clubs and organizations to be taken home by
the other youngsters; for our local Chambers; for organizations that help
farmers; to be handed out to veterans organizations; to be passed around
at our places of worship; to be handed out around town with the request
the others make copies and hand them out to the people they come in
contact with, etc. Anyone ready to help with this task. COSTS: |
