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.
Releasing our energy in different directions does not serve this purpose.
What must begin now is a total and unflinching personal commitment
to unite our collective efforts into a force that will bring the desired
results. Nothing else will make a stronger statement to the power structure
in Washington, DC than a coming together of millions of Americans who are
focused and who will not be deterred until our Constitution is
restored.
We must all search our hearts and decide what real commitment means to
us. For some, real commitment means you're willing to walk out your front
door tomorrow and never look back. This was the course chosen by our
Founding Fathers and supported by their families who were equally devoted to
the cause of liberty for all. For others, commitment means observing from
afar while others haul the load.
We hope you share our definition of real commitment: Putting
aside differences and joining to execute a plan of action, never deviating,
never backing down and devoting all our energies towards victory.
We ask for your total commitment. I ask you to stand with the courage of
your convictions and to pledge your sacred honor. I ask you to stand and
defend your freedom.
We ask you to join with We the People Congress and we will move
forward.
The hour is late and the time for education and debate
has passed. Stand with us now and fight, or watch America pass into history.
Our PLAN OF ACTION is based squarely upon the Right of Redress Before
Taxes and has a name: "NO ANSWERS, NO TAXES".
For obvious reasons, this right has been quietly ignored for many years
by those in power. It is time to breathe life into this dormant Right.
It is time to make this self-evident Right the cornerstone of this nation’s
future.
The PLAN is based on a three-step procedural mechanism, provided by the
Constitution and recommended by the Founding Fathers, for the People to use
to peacefully obtain relief from unconstitutional behavior by those wielding
governmental power:
|
STEP ONE:
|
The People prepare a proper Petition(s) for Redress of Grievances.
The Petition(s) include a request for admissions to be returned to the People by a certain time.
|
|
STEP TWO: |
The People formally serve the Petition on all 535 congressmen and
the President. |
|
|
|
|
STEP THREE:
|
If the government does not properly respond to the People’s
petition, the People retain and hold onto all money they would otherwise have given to the government until the government properly responds
to the People.
In short, Redress Before Taxes. |
|
|
|
NO ANSWERS, NO TAXES currently addresses four of the most important
issues currently facing the People (but can easily be expanded to address
additional constitutional infringements and abuses of governmental power).
A substantial and credible body of evidence is now available in support
of the propositions that the federal government is abusing its authority and
powers regarding taxes, money, war and domestic law enforcement.
Specifically, the evidence points to the UNCONSTITUTIONALITY of the: 1)
Iraq Resolution; 2) the USA Patriot Act; 3) the Federal Reserve System; 4)
and the Federal Income Tax.
In defense of, and to restore the Constitution, many People have already
taken STEP ONE and STEP TWO and are now embarking on STEP THREE.
Regarding STEP ONE, on October 8, 2002, four proper Petitions for Redress
of these Grievances were posted on the web site belonging to the We The
People Foundation for Constitutional Education. The remedy the People were
seeking through these Petitions was an answer to certain questions. By
November 8, 2002, more than 14,000 people signed those Petitions.
Regarding STEP TWO, on November 8, 2002 the Petitions were hand delivered
to the offices of all 535 members of Congress and to the President. The
Petitions respectfully requested our elected representatives to send a
representative to meet with the People on the National Mall on the afternoon
of November 14, 2002, to let the People know when we would receive answers
to our questions. On November 14, 2002, in a climax to Freedom Drive 2002,
about 1000 people, representing most states and congressional districts,
gathered on the National Mall to await answers from our elected
representatives. However, in an arrogant act of defiance by our servant
government, none of the 536 elected representatives responded to the
People’s Petitions.
Regarding STEP THREE, upon the failure of the elected representatives to
respond, the Chairman of the Foundation, Bob Schulz, in a prepared
statement, quoting the founding fathers, called upon the People to retain
and hold onto the money they would otherwise send to the federal government
until the elected representatives properly responded to the Petitions by
answering the questions.

it notarized and send it to the Foundation with your check or money order
made out to "WTP-LDA". Credit cards can also be used. If you have the means
to do so, please
consider an additional donation to the LDA in order to
support our cause.
We encourage everyone to join and spread word of this association as soon as
possible so that a professional full-time team of attorneys, paralegals and
legal researchers can lead a multitude of citizens across this nation to
reclaim their Rights and peacefully force our government to provide redress
to our Petitions.
In the near future, we will release specific instructions and forms to be
used by employees, employers and the self- employed to actively stop withholding and paying
and to otherwise legally terminate their voluntary compliance with the
income tax system.
THE LIBERTY HOUR will resume broadcasting on Tuesday, March 4, 2003.
Samuel Adams, one of the great leaders of the American Revolution said:
"The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are
worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against
all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy
ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of
treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It
will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation,
enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by
violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices
of false and designing men."
Can We the People find the courage of our convictions to honor those who
came before us by defending at all hazards our freedom, liberties and our
Constitution? The Founding Fathers and thousands of colonials died to bring
forth documents listing our God-given rights that government can never
abuse, take away or abridge. Their tomorrows were cut short and their
resources expended so we could enjoy our tomorrows as a free people.
Can we do no less? Dare we do no less? Will we let this day pass us by?
Join us. Unite.
