- The Next Steps:
1. We must put the "electric" record of the hearing into the
hands of every member of Congress
2. We must deliver deafening demands to our elected representatives
3. We must spread news of this crisis across America
-
- On February 27 and 28, 2002, the We The People Foundation
for Constitutional Education sponsored the long-awaited Truth-In-Taxation
Hearing. This historic event exposed to the public the irrefutable facts
about how the three branches of the federal government have intentionally
and systematically conspired to deprive the American People of our Constitutional
rights and reduce our citizens to indentured servants of a corrupt federal
government bureaucracy.
-
- Expert, credentialed witnesses (including ex-IRS agents,
ex-IRS counsel, CPAs and tax attorneys) publicly testified, under oath,
to almost 500 questions directly challenging the legal jurisdiction of
the Department of Justice to enforce U.S. income tax laws against ordinary
Americans and challenging the authority of the IRS to force citizens to
file a return, pay any taxes on their wages and to seize Americans' property
without due process or valid court orders.
-
- The formal record of the hearing removes any doubt that
this nation's income tax system is unconstitutional in its origin, fraudulent
and abusive in its operation, and ultimately repugnant to every principle
of equal justice, due process of law and personal liberty that we cherish
as Americans.
-
- The hearing establishes that the People are now confronted
with an unjust and uncivil government operating unlawfully and without
legal authority. The People are entitled by right, to immediate reform
and restructuring of the federal tax system.
-
- The People have repeatedly Petitioned for Redress in
the most humble and respected manner but their Petitions have been answered
only by repeated injury.
-
- Resonating with the experiences of our Founding Fathers,
the People are now morally and legally justified in taking yet stronger
actions to force this government to behave in a constitutional, lawful
manner.
-
- Whatever the future may hold regarding the free Sovereign
People of this Republic and the incompatible income tax, neither Congress
nor the President will hereafter be able to assert that they did not know
the causes that impelled the People to act. History will determine that
the People were justified.
-
- The People need now to properly and publicly put the
electric record of the Citizens' Truth-In-Taxation Hearing into the hands
of every member of Congress and the President.
-
- Next, it is time for the People to loudly voice their
demands for a remedy to their grievances.
-
- The government must hear the collective voice of the
Sovereign People:
-
- Either order the IRS and DOJ to stop forcing employers
to withhold the tax and stop forcing People to file a tax return and to
pay the tax OR, schedule a formal congressional hearing requiring IRS and
DOJ to answer the questions which were asked and answered under oath at
the Citizens' Truth-In-Taxation Hearing.
-
- Finally, the People must mobilize to educate and inform
our families, coworkers, neighbors and countrymen about the constitutional
crisis that has been provoked by our own government's refusal to answer
the questions and by our major media that prefers to quote officialdom
and blanket the citizenry with its propaganda. * The facts are irrefutable
* This nation faces a crisis * The Truth must be revealed -- now We have
thought and prayed about what history's mirror should reflect regarding
the People's struggle to bring the government back within the boundaries
the People have drawn around its taxing power.
-

your heart. Act now.

representative has been served formal Notice and has received the People's
Petition for Redress regarding the U.S. income tax system and a full record

to uphold the Constitution of this nation. 3. The constituent demands
that this issue receive their immediate review and consideration. 4. The
constituent respectfully demands that the representative formally, and

hearing.

-
- April 15th and Beyond:
-
- Every American citizen should directly contact their
elected officials, government agencies and the media. Let the government
hear your voice.
-
- Every American should spread word of this across the
nation. Tell your families. Tell your coworkers. Tell your neighbors. The
moment of truth is at our door.
-
- Every American should offer prayers for our elected officials
so they may find the strength and light to guide them as they execute their
duties as required under the Constitution. As more of our nation learns
of these truths we will all need to join together to resolve this difficult
Constitutional crisis in a peaceful, orderly, and lawful manner.
