Rose Lear DC Press Conference Set

Lear Meets Her Michigan Congressman Thursday AM
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.

Early Wednesday, Molly Moeser, Senior Aide for Michigan Senator Carl Levin, said that Senator Levin "did not have time to meet with Lear". Senator Debbie Stabenow’s aide Melissa Kaltenbach said the Senator had "no time to meet with Rose Lear."

By late Wednesday, both Senators had offered to have staffers meet with Lear following her morning meeting with Rep. Hoekstra. The meeting is tentatively set for room 367 of the Russell Senate Office Building. It is not confirmed that this meeting will occur. Lear was unavailable to confirm this meeting because she is en route to Washington. She has previously insisted on meeting directly with her elected representatives.

In the afternoon, Lear and We The People will hold a one-hour press conference on Thursday, March 20, at 1 PM EASTERN at the National Press Club, 529 14th St. NW, Washington DC. The press conference will be broadcast live over the internet. The internet link is http://www.ConnectLive.com/events/WeThePeople. The archive of the press conference will be available on the same link following the event.

Joining Bob Schulz (Chairman, We The People) at the Press Conferhttp://www.connectlive.com/events/wethepeopleence will be Pastor Greg J. Dixon, whose Indianapolis Baptist Temple was forcibly seized by the IRS in 2001 for refusing to withhold payroll taxes on religious grounds. Also attending the conference will be Brian Scott, founder and trustee for Catholics for Just Government that is supporting the Truth-in-Taxation movement as a Catholics' social justice issue.

On Wednesday, WTP issued a press release to the major media outlets detailing the Rep. Hoekstra meeting and the press conference at the National Press Club.
