CITIZENS' SUMMIT HELD IN WASHINGTON, DC

At the conclusion of the July Legality of Income Tax Symposium it was announced that a people's congress or summit meeting would be held in the ballroom of the National Press Club, in the fall of 1999, for the purpose of launching a nationwide plan to deal with the problem of the seemingly unconstitutional income and social security taxes and unlawful operations of the IRS.

This conclusion was drawn as a result of revelations to We The People that in 1913, Secretary of State Philander Knox fraudulently proclaimed that the 16th amendment had been properly and legally ratified, that there is no law that required most U.S. citizens to file and pay income and social security taxes, but when people file they voluntarily waive their 5th amendment rights against self-incrimination.

The conclusion to schedule the fall meeting was also arrived at in consideration of the fact that the leaders of the Executive and Legislative branches continue to turn a deaf ear to requests that they send their most knowledgeable persons to meet with and produce arguments and analysis against the three propositions. This failure of a representative government left We The People with no alternative but to go forward with their intense criticism of the income and social security taxes and the operations of the IRS.

Accordingly, the fall Summit was held on Saturday, November 13, 1999 at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. Scores of Citizens from many states assembled in the ballroom to sign a Remonstrance designed to end the illegal operations of the IRS, to decide on next steps, to hear Bill Benson give the details of an official attempt by a leading, currently-sitting U.S. Senator to pay to have evidence of fraud suppressed; to hear from two former IRS agents from the Criminal Investigation Division who recently resigned because they believed the IRS was illegally enforcing the Internal Revenue Code -- as though payment of the income and social security taxes were compulsory when, in fact, payment of the taxes is voluntary; and to hear from a Florida employer who recently convinced the IRS to return the income and social security taxes (with interest) that he withheld from his employees, on the basis that the law as written does not require most employers to withhold or even to file W-2s and 1099s with the IRS and that the law as written does not require most employees to file and pay those taxes.

Citizens from the following states traveled to Washington to attend the Citizens' Summit To End The Illegal Operations Of The IRS:

Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.
