Message To Bush, Frist, Hastert And Hyde:
Prepare Yourselves.
You Are In For An Awakening.
You will soon be
called to account for your acts before you make further mockery of our
Constitution.
Be
forewarned, we are not talking about Election Day. We are
wiser now.
While
the government entities under your leadership have been on a nationwide
Reign of Terror against the People, abusing the limited legal authorities
that have been delegated to you, infringing upon the constitutionally
protected Rights of the People and seeking to suppress even the People’s
Right to public discourse concerning such abuses – we have been doing our
“homework”.
We are
a small, but committed group of ordinary Americans. Over the years, we have
become dedicated students of history, law, political philosophy, the nature
of our Constitutional Republic and the nature of the men that are drawn to
influence and control governments. We have sought solutions for what ails
our nation.
As the recent course of events has played out across our country, we have
learned much. As we have prepared to peacefully repel your acts of tyranny
by public examination of the law of the land and our Constitution, we have
come to rediscover knowledge that, for whatever reasons, has been
systemically suppressed, hidden and virtually eradicated from the public
discourse of high school civics classes, college history courses, law school
text books, daily newspapers, the debate floors of our representative
government and our courtrooms of justice.
Here’s what we’ve learned:

Judge: Indictment Flawed, But Simkanin Not Released
Workers: “Next Step” Operation Stop Withholding
Forms to Send to Employers
Free
IMF Decoding Program &
Free
"Tax Audit Defense Manual"
Simkanin
Still Being Held
Despite the
testimony of several character witnesses including former IRS CID
Special Agent Joe Banister, federal judge John McBryde refused to
release business owner Dick Simkanin following a second detention
hearing Thursday afternoon.
Simkanin, facing 27
federal tax charges related to his failure to withhold income and
wage taxes from his workers’ paychecks is being held as a “danger to
his community.”
According to former
IRS agent Joe Banister and others who attended the hearing along
with a room full of We The People court watchers, Judge McBryde
entertained evidence from the prosecutor including screen shots of
Simkanin’s web site and copies of various e-mails Simkanin had
sent. Not content with the prosecution’s progress during the
hearing, McBryde apparently began to interrogate Simkanin directly
as to his ownership of firearms, what type they were and where they
were located. McBryde openly stated he thought Simkanin was a
“threat to society and to the officers of the government.”
According to
witnesses, McBryde openly mocked Joe Banister after his testimony
and appeared generally miffed at the number of WTP attendees in the
courtroom. (continued. . . )

Judge Bans Schiff Book on Income Tax
1st Amendment Thrashed to Buy the Tax More Time
New York Times: More Deception
On
Monday, June 16, Federal District Court Judge Lloyd D. George issued a
preliminary injunction banning the sale and distribution of Irwin Schiff’s
book about the income tax titled, “The
Federal Mafia: How The Government Illegally Imposes And Unlawfully Collects
Income Taxes And How Americans Can Fight Back.”
Schiff’s book, which is a personal and legal examination of the income tax
fraud and includes extensive, and specific, quotations and analyses of US
tax law and Supreme Court rulings on the tax, was banned even though the
Department of Justice (which bears the burden of proof) presented no
evidence and no witnesses at the April 11th preliminary
injunction hearing. Click
Here to read the first portion of the censored book (.pdf).
In
short, Judge George banned Schiff’s book as “false commercial speech”
without any specific analysis or any in-court evidentiary examination
establishing the “falsity” of Schiff’s actual speech and by blithely
ignoring the substantial body of established Supreme Court constitutional
law protecting free expression and publication.

Employer Simkanin Sent Back To Jail
Federal Judge Openly Ignores Due Process
Government Attacks Simkanin’s Company
Dick Simkanin, owner of
Dallas
based Arrow Custom Plastics, was remanded back to a federal
detention facility following a hearing Friday that was described by
an eye-witness as a legal sham.
Simkanin, facing 27 counts of violating federal tax laws related to
failing to withhold wage taxes on his employees, had previously been
arrested and subsequently released following a detention/bail
hearing before a federal Magistrate on Wednesday. At that hearing,
DOJ failed to produce any evidence that established that Simkanin
was either a “danger to the community” or a “flight risk.”
During a scheduled
arraignment related hearing Friday, US District Court Judge
John H. McBryde dismissed, without any consideration, several
motions filed earlier in the week by Simkanin on a “pro se” basis,
ruling that they were completely “frivolous.” One of these motions
requested a legal “Bill of Particulars” (which cites the exact
statutes violated and circumstances of the alleged crimes) and other
required legal documents which verify the indictment process.

Non-Withholding Employer Simkanin Freed !
WTP Congress Fills

Federal Courtroom
Baseless DOJ Claims Rejected
Today, June 25,
2003 at approximately
1 PM, non-withholding employer Dick Simkanin was ordered released
from the
Fort Worth jail where he has been held since last Friday morning after
being arrested and charged with 27 counts of violating federal
income tax law.
Assistant US
Attorney David L. Jarvis and his lone witness, IRS CID agent
McGowan, failed to convince Magistrate Erma Ramirez of any factual
basis to back their empty and apparently vindictive assertions that business owner Simkanin was both a “danger to the community” and that he was a
“flight risk” from prosecution.

THANK
YOU GENE CHAPMAN
We Will
Stand With You This Saturday
Gene Chapman is
about to pay the ultimate price in defense of the People’s
unalienable Right to Petition the government for a Redress of
Grievances and government’s inherent obligation to respond – a Right
endowed by the Creator.
Gene Chapman is
nearing death -- Saturday will mark the 40th day of his
death fast.
Gene Chapman is but
one of the thousands of Americans who have supported the People’s
Petition for Redress of Grievances regarding the fraudulent origin
and illegal enforcement of the federal income tax system. He has
added his voice to the voices of those thousands of free people
that have been demanding answers from their servant government.

Operation Stop Withholding Continues to Roll
Day 31:
Gene Chapman Enters “Death Zone”
Larken Rose Raided, First Amendment No Concern to IRS
Lear Files Habeas Corpus to Free Husband
The nationwide
meeting tour to organize America’s workers and companies to enforce
the People’s Right to Petition for Redress of Grievances rolled
through Oregon and through Washington this week.
Bob Schulz, Chairman of We The People Foundation continued his
relentless call for ordinary people and business owners to legally
terminate their wage withholding and to stop paying and filing in
order force the government to answer the
537 legal questions regarding the federal income tax, i.e., “No
Answers, NO Taxes.”
In each meeting,
Schulz reviews in substantial detail the Foundation’s well
documented, four year attempt to get official answers to the
Petitions for Redress – one of which directly challenges the legal
jurisdiction of the IRS and exposes the gross violations of
constitutional rights that IRS systemically commits in its daily
operations and enforcement actions. The other Petitions challenge
the government’s abuses of its limited powers regarding making war,
creating money and its police authority. To date, the
US
government has reneged on the explicit agreements it has made to
provide official answers.
This past 10 days,
Schulz has spoken to hundreds of people in Reno, Nevada as well as
Medford, Bend, Corvallis and Portland, Oregon. On this past Monday
evening, Schulz spoke to a crowd of about 150 in Seattle, Washington
and to an even larger crowd in Spokane Tuesday evening.

Schulz to America: Stop Withholding
Workers’ Rights Being Extolled

Hundreds of workers
and employers continue to flock to meetings on Bob Schulz’s
cross-country speaking tour as We The People begins to organize
Americans to exercise their legal rights and stop withholding of all
taxes on their wages and salaries.
Schulz, Chairman of
We The People, has now spoken to well over two thousand people as
part of “Operation Stop Withholding” and continues to be greeted by
appreciative and attentive audiences everywhere.
Schulz’s tour
continues tomorrow with several stops in Oregon before moving on to

Another Soul Risks Life For Answers
Gene Chapman on
Day 14 of Death Fast
Waiting for IRS to Cite What Law Makes Him Liable
Across from IRS
regional office in downtown Austin, Texas, Gene Chapman sat quietly
through Day 14 of a “death fast” that he began on April 15th.
He will fast until his death or until the Internal Revenue Service
shows him the specific US law that makes him liable for the income
tax.
Chapman, a soft-spoken
professional with strong spiritual values, modeling his fast after Mahatma
Gandhi, says he is fully prepared to give up his life to get an answer to a
single question: "What law makes me liable to pay the federal income
tax?" Chapman also seeks answers to the
hundreds of well researched, specific legal questions that have been
repeatedly submitted to the government in
Petitions for Redress of
Grievances by this Foundation and many other individuals around
the nation. The specific matter of who the income tax is
legally imposed upon remains a key part of that legal inquiry.
To date, NO
government official will provide any official response to Chapman’s
simple question or to the series of over 500 “true or false” format
questions from the Petitions for Redress that directly
challenge the legal jurisdiction of the IRS and the grossly
unconstitutional enforcement and administrative operations of the
IRS.

Hunger
Fast Ends With No Answers
DOJ:
“We’ll Answer Their Questions . . .
. . . By Prosecuting”
Tax Jihad Continues: Ban Free Speech
Shortly before 5 PM on the 30th day of her hunger strike (April 2nd)
the front desk at Rose Lear’s DC hotel called her room and informed her she
had just received a several page fax. It was from Michigan Congressman
Peter Hoekstra. It was the reply Lear had risked her life for.
It was
supposed to contain specific answers to each of the 537 “true or false” type
questions about US
income tax law that Lear formally served on her Congressman as a Petition
for Redress of Grievances.
Although Hoekstra, according to Lear, had specifically directed his staff to
answer the questions, the final, official Congressional response to Rose
Lear was simply more avoidance and tired legal drivel apparently penned by a
Hoekstra congressional aide assisted by a government attorney.
The questions were not answered.

materials were delivered to the leaders of the federal Executive and
Legislative branches as well as the IRS Commissioner, the Attorney
General and the Secretary of the Treasury. All were asked to review
the instructional materials and to let WTP know if any of the

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.”

As of this evening, Lear will have surpassed the duration of Bob Schulz’s
20-day hunger strike of July 2001 that resulted in a formal agreement with
DOJ and IRS to answer the legal charges. Later, both agencies reneged on
their formal agreement and have never provided an official response. This
breach of the public trust is why Lear will now no longer stop her fast for
anything but the full, official response of the U.S. Government to the

Rose Lear DC Press Conference Set
Lear Meets Her Michigan Congressman Thursday
Meetings With Senators Uncertain
15 days ago on March 5th, Rose Lear, of Muskegon,
Michigan began a hunger strike to force the government to answer her
Petitions for Redress of Grievances regarding the fraudulent origin
of the income tax, the legal jurisdiction of the IRS and the
unlawful enforcement of U.S. income tax laws. She will fast until
her death or until the government agrees to meet in a public,
recorded meeting and provide official responses to the hundreds
of legal assertions contained in the Petitions.
Lear now has a meeting scheduled with her Congressman Rep. Peter
Hoekstra (2nd District) of Michigan at 10 AM, Thursday,
March 20, in Hoekstra’s office, (room 2234 in the Rayburn House
Office Building). After learning that WTP is going to professionally
video tape this meeting, Rep. Hoekstra invited the local NBC TV
affiliate from his district, Channel 8 of Grand Rapids, to attend or
arrange for recording of the Lear meeting to insure that an accurate
record of the meeting is made.

14 days ago on March 5th, Rose Lear began a hunger strike in her
home city of Muskegon, Michigan to force the U.S. Government to
respond to the Petition for Redress of Grievances formally served on
the Congress last November.
Today, Lear decided to spend what may be her final days on the
doorsteps of the U.S. Capitol and at the federal offices at 1111
Constitution Avenue where those that administer and enforce the tax
laws of this nation work for the IRS.
Lear wants to personally meet with her Congressional representatives
and has initiated requests to schedule brief meetings with them on
Capitol Hill. Bob Schulz, Chairman of We The People Foundation
reports that the staff members of Lear’s Congressmen were, at this
point, "well aware" of Rose Lear and expressed both surprise and

National Campaign To Stop Withholding
On March 15, 2003, Bob Schulz officially put the IRS on notice that WTP has
initiated a national campaign to educate officials of private companies that
under U.S. law, their workers are not subject to withholding, that the
companies are not legally "withholding agents" and that the individual
income tax is fraudulent in its origin and unlawful in its enforcement and
operation.
WTP’s letter was addressed to
the new IRS Commissioner, Mark W. Everson. A copy of the full packet of
information to be presented to each company during the campaign was enclosed
with the letter to Mr. Everson.
Copies of the letter, with the enclosure, were also sent to: President
George W. Bush; Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist; Speaker J. Dennis

It’s Here: A Plan Of Action To Restore The ConstitutionLet Us Channel Our Energy
Let Us Unite!
Many people in America are talking about
Freedom. They appear to be united in their beliefs that we have unalienable
Rights that are guaranteed by the Constitution and that government is meant
to be limited in what it can and cannot do by the terms of the Constitution.
They appear to be united in their beliefs that the government has stepped
outside the boundaries drawn around its power by the Constitution and that
the Constitution is hanging by a thread. They appear to be united in their
beliefs that SOMETHING must be done to restore the Constitution.
They appear to have the courage of their convictions.
What's needed now is a comprehensive plan of action for all those
concerned, right-thinking Americans to unite behind: A bold plan of action.
That plan is ready. It is here.
The time is now. It is time to DO SOMETHING.
Each one of us has limited energy and resources. If we are going to
achieve the governmental reform we are certainly entitled to, we will need
to develop a great amount of THRUST to overcome the powers arrayed against
us. To develop the needed thrust we need to CHANNEL OUR ENERGY – i.e.,
combine and unite our individual energies, and with a common voice, confront those
that would steal our liberty and send a single message:
NO ANSWERS, NO
TAXES.

organized near Washington DC as a non-profit, public interest organization
established to protect, preserve and enhance the People’s individual,
unalienable Rights, particularly the Right to Petition for Redress of
Grievances and the Right of "Redress Before Taxes," which are guaranteed by
the 1st Amendment.
Through annual memberships, WTP-LDA will be united in service together
through tens of thousands of individuals, corporations and associations,
providing a unified and uniform voice when and where it is needed to secure
these Rights.
Initially, WTP-LDA will represent member corporations that have, or
intend to, cease wage withholding of all federal taxes from their employees’
paychecks and persons that have, or intend to, stop filing federal tax
returns and/or cease the payment of any alleged federal income taxes, in
order to secure their Rights.

A PLAN FOR CIVIL ACTION
"No Answers, NO Taxes"
It has become necessary for the People of America to drastically
change their relationship with their servant federal government by
retaining and holding onto all money they would otherwise have given
to the federal government.
This is necessary because the government steadfastly refuses to
respond to the Peoples’ repeated, proper Petitions for Redress of
Grievances regarding substantive abuses and seizures of our
Constitutionally protected rights.
The People can accomplish this by exercising their unalienable,
constitutionally guaranteed Rights and by following the non-violent,
procedural mechanism provided in the Constitution for such an action
– i.e., Petition for Redress of Grievances and Redress Before Taxes.
The We The People Congress hereby encourages all corporations to
immediately stop withholding from the paychecks of their employees
any and all federal tax on wages and salaries, until the Executive
and Legislative branches of the government respond to certain
Petitions for Redress that were served on each member of Congress
and the President on November 8-12, 2002.
The We The People Congress hereby encourages all American
employees, retirees and self-employed persons not to file federal
tax returns and to immediately cease the payment of any alleged
federal income taxes, until the Executive and Legislative branches
of our government respond to certain Petitions for Redress that were
formally served on each member of Congress and the President on
November 8-12, 2002.
The reasons why we are recommending these revolutionary actions
include those listed below under "Causes of Action."

Now We Know What We
Face
Counter-Strategies to Stop The Censorship
First Broadcast Spreading Quickly Across Internet
VHS Version Now in WTP Store
November
Freedom Drive Rally
Now Available on CD-ROM
As most know by this time, We The People’s initial broadcast of the
Liberty Hour hosted by Bob Schulz on January 7th, was terminated almost
immediately due to unforeseen "technical problems" that were encountered as
soon as our Internet broadcast began.
We remind everyone that the corporate entity providing our web streaming is
a nationally prominent Internet streaming firm with significant
telecommunications expertise and possesses commercial grade capacity to
easily handle more than the 120,000 viewers that attempted to watch our
broadcast on January 7th.
Following the initial broadcast attempt, our provider quickly made temporary
arrangements to download the file and stream it on demand using a different
protocol, limited to 1500 simultaneous viewers. Following additional,
unexplained and continual "technical problems" with his ISP provider (Time
Warner) which lasted for several days -- and which were significantly
impairing his mainstream business -- he was forced to cut off the dedicated
equipment being used to disseminate the WTP broadcast file.
This single event should constitute notice for all about the forces we
collectively face. It is proof of the potency of our message. The reaction
to our broadcast is indicative of the fear and crisis our truths are slowly
beginning to infect in the institutions of our foes. It is time to regroup,
reorganize and understand the power of the camera and the keyboard.
Since these events occurred, we have been working with a number of folks
who are helping us develop counter-strategies to insure that these
broadcasts – which are critical to educating our nation and curtailing our
government’s abuse of power – will continue unabated.

WTP-TV Temporarily Off The Air
Someone Doesn’t Like Our Message
Developing Story
As of 3:55 PM, Monday afternoon, the We The People
Internet broadcast provider was forced by his provider, Time
Warner, to cease providing transmission of the WTP-TV broadcast
stream and the FTP download of the archived LIBERTY HOUR file.
Here’s what we can release at this moment:
On Friday afternoon, while still under the
impression that Time Warner had permanently fixed whatever
"technical problem" caused them to knock our live broadcast off the
"air," we posted the links enabling people to watch and/or download
the event.
On Saturday, two computers at the White House were
used to watch the entire event and eight computers at the IRS were
used to watch and download the file.
By Sunday evening, 10,031 people had
watched the event and another 5300 people downloaded the file to
their PCs.

1500 Simultaneous Viewers:

We The People wishes to inform everyone
that our temporary limit of 1500 simultaneous viewers has been
exceeded almost continuously around the clock since the link for our
broadcast archive was posted Friday morning. This is why
many people are receiving error messages when attempting to access
the video.
Please be patient and try the link at a later time if you receive an

Plug "Pulled" on WTP-TV? or Just a Coincidence?
First Show Now Available For Viewing
Three minutes and forty seconds of high quality audio and video,
then nothing. That’s just part of the story on WTP’s initial attempt
to broadcast THE LIBERTY HOUR this past Tuesday night.
Here are the facts as we know them.
1) During the day Tuesday, in preparation of the WTP-TV
broadcast, the broadcast server and software configurations were
tested repeatedly and verified as functioning properly.
From the beginning of the broadcast at 9:30 PM Tuesday, many
viewers experienced various problems receiving the broadcast stream.
Exactly one minute after Bob Schulz completed saying the following
words, the broadcast was completely disabled and knocked off the

Don’t Change That Channel:
WTP-TV Is On The Air
Next week, WTP unveils its latest technological weapon in the
quest to restore the Republic and the Constitution: The ability to
produce and broadcast, a regularly scheduled live multimedia,
multi-source, television quality program series across America.
We The People Foundation has acquired access to a large Internet
broadcast "pipeline" and specialized conferencing/video
collaboration software that will enable live video feeds from
multiple locations around the nation to be broadcast live over the
Internet. These feeds can be integrated into a single viewing screen
that will be transmitted nationwide for TV quality reception.
Moving far beyond our previous experiences with
Internet web broadcasts which have already been seen by tens of
thousands, WTP now possesses the capability to reach a virtually
unlimited mass audience each week. The technology that allowed
us to have just a few (and very expensive) webcast events (such as
the Freedom Drive event in DC on November 14th, or our
National Press Club press conferences, or the Truth-in-Taxation
hearing) is now available for our weekly and eventually, even daily
use.

It Is Now Out In The Open In Congress:
Constitution is "Inappropriate and Anachronistic."
Only One Non-Violent Option Left For The People:
It Is Un-American To Fund This Government
The power to tax and the power to wage war are the two most
potent enumerated powers; most sought after by government; most
potentially harmful to individual Liberty; most in need of citizens’
scrutiny.
As further justification for the People to stop sending money to
the federal government, this article reports on the treasonous
behavior that occurred in the halls of Congress on October 2 and 3.
2002, regarding the unconstitutional commitment of this nation to
war.
The government’s disdain and disrespect for the Constitution came
out into the open on October 3, 2002, in the House of
Representatives, during the second day of a two-day hearing on the
Iraq Resolution (H.J. Resolution 114), "AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF
MILITARY FORCE AGAINST IRAQ."
Congressman Ron Paul reminded the Chairman of the House of
Representatives Committee on International Relations that the
Constitution required a congressional Declaration of War before the
armed forces of the United States could be applied in hostilities
overseas, not H.J.R 114, a congressional Resolution authorizing the
President to decide if and when to apply that force.
However, Chairman Henry Hyde is quoted, for the record, "There
are things in the Constitution that have been overtaken by events,
by time. Declaration of war is one of them…There are things no
longer relevant to a modern society…Why declare war if you don’t
have to?…We are saying to the President, use your judgment…So, to
demand that we declare war is to strengthen something to death. You
have got a hammerlock on this situation, and it is not called for.
Inappropriate, anachronistic, it isn’t done anymore…."

Early this year, following the decision by DOJ and the IRS to
renege on their agreement to appear before the People, Rep. Roscoe
Bartlett (Maryland) formally requested that DOJ respond, in writing,
to specific legal questions that had been submitted by Bob Schulz
and the We The People Foundation for Constitutional Education as
part of a Petition for Redress of Grievances.
On the People’s behalf, Rep. Bartlett sought to obtain official
government responses regarding significant matters of US income tax
law, federal jurisdiction and Constitutional violations posed by the
current law enforcement practices of DOJ and IRS relating to the
federal income tax system.
On November 21, 2002, We The People Foundation came into
possession of a letter dated April 18th, 2002 sent from US Assistant
Attorney General Daniel Bryant to Rep. Bartlett articulating the
reasons Department of Justice was offering for refusing Bartlett’s
request and refusing to answer the People’s questions.

More Justification
for Redress Before Taxes |
This weekend, We The People will post a three-part message:
First, we will announce details of a new live "TV" program that
we will produce and broadcast regularly each week. The program
series will be directed at informing masses of Americans about our
new agenda to restore our Constitution and enforce our Right to
Petition including a new WTP Legal Defense Fund and new educational
materials informing a) employers about why and how they should stop
withholding; b) employees about why and how they should approach
their employers to stop withholding; and c) the self-employed about
why and how they should stop filing and paying income taxes.
Second, Bob Schulz will post his response to a letter Congressman
Roscoe Bartlett has received from Daniel Bryant (the number three
man at the U.S. Department of Justice). Bryant officially admits DOJ
is refusing to respond to the People’s Petition for Redress
regarding the legality of the income tax system. Bryant’s letter is
offensive and will shock readers. It exceeds the bounds of decency
and reasonableness. In our letter we demand a formal apology from
the Assistant Attorney General. We also put the highest law
enforcement agency in the land on notice: No answers, NO taxes.
Third, as further justification for the People to stop sending
money to the federal government, we will report the details of
treasonous behavior that occurred in the halls of Congress in early
October 2002 regarding the unconstitutional commitment of this
nation to war.
In the meantime, this is Bob Schulz’s prayer for all of you on
this Christmas, 2002:
Dear Lord,
We are thankful this day for the few
moments of life that we pass at home in the bosom of family.
We are thankful for good conscience, good
health and honest hearts.
We are thankful for our country and our
Constitution…
…and for life and liberty.
We are thankful for perseverance,
persuasion and patience…
…and for reason, responsibility and rigid integrity.
We are thankful for sincerity and
steadfastness in pursuit of what is right…
…and for our dispositions to be grateful, generous, charitable,
humane, true, just, firm, orderly and courageous.
We are thankful for tranquility and
occupation rather than wealth and splendor.
Above all, we are thankful for your grace.
In His name, we pray. Amen.

Veterans: A Challenge to Take
The Drive And A Letter From General Ray Davis.
Monday is Veteran's Day. A day to remember Freedom and what it costs
to defend it.
Veterans, particularly veterans of foreign conflicts, know too well
the true price of keeping the flame of liberty alive and how the road to
tyranny is paved in countries where violent actions must be undertaken
in the defense of liberty. You are the ones that have taken the oath to
defend our Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Our Founding Fathers knew it was possible that the institutions of
Congress and the Courts (i.e., our political and judicial systems) might
someday begin to falter in their duty to protect the People.
This was why they resoundingly -- and without limit -- specifically
reiterated the Right to petition for redress of grievances in the First
Amendment. This right, the cornerstone of popular sovereignty, gave the
People the ability to bypass the judicial, elective, and legislative
processes in order to secure redress when the fundamental rights of
liberty are violated.
We have clearly reached such a point.
This Foundation has made every effort to expose these raw acts of
despotism and educate our nation about them. We have orchestrated the
repeated submission of proper petitions of redress to the government,
each of which has been summarily ignored.
On Veteran’s Day, we ask you -- our veterans -- to consider the full meaning of the oath
you took and to ponder, just for a moment, what actions you would
personally take if a foreign, hostile force landed on our shores.
There would be NO question as to what you would do.
This Thursday brings the Moment of Truth to this nation. We will know
whether we have a government that abides by a Constitution or not.
We will know whether we have a domestic enemy or not.
We urge all veterans to join the Freedom Drive, get to DC and
peaceably assemble with those of this nation that know that this Republic, our
Constitution and our very freedoms are under attack. We The
People will defend our rights and restore our Constitution.
Please review the letter written last year by retired General Raymond
Davis in support of this cause. The most highly decorated living veteran
of this nation has thrown his personal support behind the non-violent
exercise of our right to petition.
Will you?

Webcast of DC Event is Set
Final Rally & Rendezvous Locations Released
Freedom Drive 2002 pulled out of a very soggy San
Francisco this afternoon with about a dozen vehicles headed for an
overnight stop in Reno, Nevada. The marching bands and other
outdoor activities scheduled
had to be canceled due to the intense weather conditions. The
Drive leaves Reno around 5 AM Saturday morning headed for a large
rally in Salt
Lake City, Utah. Pictures from the drive are being
digitally transmitted to our offices from a wireless laptop system
and will be posted regularly beginning tomorrow.
In Washington, DC Friday morning, a group of WTP
volunteers successfully delivered the
Peoples' Petitions for Redress
of Grievances to the government. With the exception of a few
representatives, all members of Congress were served the Petitions.
Several had locked offices and a few refused to accept any documents
brought to their office in person. One soon-to-be-departing
Congressman's staff actually refused to accept the documents citing
that they had lost the election and were effectively "out of here."
President Bush will be served on Tuesday.
A free internet webcast of the event in DC will be
broadcast live on the internet next Thursday. The webcast will
be approximately 5 hours long beginning sometime before noon.
This free broadcast will enable tens of thousands of People to view
history being made. In addition, a free, non-encrypted
satellite uplink feed will be available so that any television
station or network in the nation can pull the signal down and
rebroadcast or record the event. Details of the satellite feed will
be available early next week.
Please review the updated
Final Details pages for
the Freedom Drive. There are well organized feeder routes now
heading from both the Northeast and Southeast states and many other
cities have staging areas and contact information available.
These routes will merge and rally together near Frederick, Maryland on
Wednesday evening and leave for DC at 7 AM from the Frederick
staging area.

Our Message In USA TODAY Is Being Well Received By The People
Urgent Call for DC Volunteers More Help Needed
Following the publication of Friday’s full-page ad in USA Today, people
from all corners of the country have contacted us to express their
appreciation for our efforts. Many said they will be joining the Freedom
Drive and will stand with us in DC on November 14th.
The ad has been read by millions of people across this nation – people
who would not have otherwise heard about our strong, firm, substantial and
solid defense of the Constitution and the People’s Rights.
Please note that due to recent schedule changes, the members of the
United States Congress WILL be returning to Washington DC on November 11th.
and Congress will be in session on November 14th, increasing the
importance of Freedom Drive 2002, and making the People’s presence in
Washington on the 14th even more significant. A change to our
park permit has our Freedom Drive event now staged directly across from, and
in open view of the Capitol, rather than at the other end of the National
Mall at the Washington Monument.
The purpose of this article is twofold: first, we need the assistance of
about 24 people on Friday, November 8th to help with the service
of the Petitions for Redress on all members of the Congress and the
President; and second, we need more help to pay for everything we have
planned for November 14th in DC.

WTP encourages everyone to buy extra copies of the

such as grocery stores, discount and hardware stores, libraries,
colleges, etc.
Bob Schulz sends his special thanks but reminds us
that there is still much to do.
Please consider helping with the other
substantial efforts including the production and broadcast of a
FREE, live Internet webcast that includes a satellite video uplink.
Reporters, television stations and ordinary Americans across the
nation will have real-time access to witness history being made.
In the end, the USA Today ad is just a glimpse
into how ideas become manifest in reality when People share a
vision, come together, pool their abundance and transform themselves
into a coherent voice and a daunting force.
YOU made the USA Today ad happen. WE can
make anything happen if we join together.

The Right of Petition:
Use it Now or Lose It Forever.
It’s Time to Sign. The
Drive for Freedom Has Begun.
In violation of the War Powers clauses of the Constitution, the President
is colluding with, and pressuring, the United States Congress to pass
legislation that would authorize the President to apply the armed forces of
the United States of America in hostilities in Iraq without a congressional
Declaration of War.
In hasty response to widespread fear and panic following 9/11, our elected representatives
voted on the "U.S.A. Patriot Act" (with many having not read it), which by
the plain language
of the Act, deprives and seizes the unalienable rights of the People.
Our government has relinquished direct control of the monetary system of
this nation to a privately owned central bank and has transformed our money
into nothing but limitless debt. A portion of the Federal Reserve stock is held by foreign entities.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) reneged on their July 2001 written
agreement to appear at a public forum to
answer the People’s Remonstrance and well documented legal charges directly
asserting the lack of statutory or Constitutional
authority for the federal income tax and the systemic abuses of our
unalienable rights in the daily operations of the IRS.
Are these despotic acts of our government to be tolerated by the People?

Schulz’s "Tax Termination" Package
Citizens Are Requesting the Information Schulz is Using to Defend Against
the Unlawful Acts of IRS and DOJ.
On June 17th, Bob Schulz told the government:
"No more. Enough is enough. No answers, no taxes."
He sent the IRS a lengthy letter conveying his personal convictions and
decision to terminate his filing of income tax returns and his decision
to stop paying the tax.
Attached to Schulz’s letter were hundreds of pages of documents clearly
substantiating the repeated efforts of both Schulz and the We The People
Foundation to have
the Department of Justice and IRS publicly answer
specific legal charges that the income tax system was born of fraud, has no
authority in law and is enforced and administered in a manner that violates

Schulz to Feds: |
|
No Answers, No Taxes. |
Bob Schulz, Chairman of We The People Foundation for Constitutional
Education today
released a letter sent to his regional IRS processing center, IRS
Commissioner Rossotti, President Bush, Speaker Hastert and Senate Majority
Leader Daschle declaring his total commitment to personally instigate
sufficient civil action across the nation to end the income tax as we know
it.
Schulz’s letter publicly proclaims and staunchly states that after 45
years of willful compliance he now refuses to file a tax return for 2001, 2002
and for all future years.
Citing the record of the Citizens’ Truth-In-Taxation Hearing and the
government’s steadfast refusal to answer the Foundation’s well-documented
charges that the income tax system is fraudulent in its jurisdiction and is
unlawfully enforced against the American people, Schulz said, "The gloves
are off. Enough is enough. The evidence phase is over. I will now do
everything in my power to mobilize the People in defense of our rights. Our
children and our neighbors are entitled to constitutional governance carried
out in decency and good order."
"Our liberties have been seized. I call on all right minded citizens to do
something – now! Spread the word. Join the We The People Congress. Sign up
for duty as a county or state coordinator. Get ready to act."
Schulz’s letter chastises the government for its blatant disregard of the
Constitution and his absolute right, as a sovereign citizen, to a formal
response from the US Government to the petition for redress of grievances
regarding the income tax system.

Congress Ignores the
Petitions.
More
of the Same:
Insolence !
One month has passed since
all 535 congressmen were petitioned for a redress of grievances
regarding the federal income tax. On April 15th, thousands of
letters from constituents were hand delivered with copies of the
Truth-in-Taxation Hearing record to every member of Congress.
Not one congressman specifically acknowledged the record of the Citizens’
Truth-In-Taxation Hearing, much less the Hearing’s 537 statements of
fact, supporting evidence and conclusions of law.
