The Next Steps:
- We must put the "electric" record of the hearing into the hands of
every member of Congress
- We must deliver deafening demands to our elected representatives
- 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.
Please ponder these "next steps." Listen to your heart. Act now.

- The purpose of the press conference is to announce what actions the
People will initiate on April 14th and April 15th in Washington DC, in

Petition for Redress and the irrefutable, electric legal record
established at the Truth-in-Taxation hearing.
Sunday, April 14, 2002
Constituents representing every congressional district in this nation
will gather in DC to go over the schedule of the next day's activities, and
to receive, assemble and finalize the contents of their individual "package"
to be hand delivered to each member of Congress.
The packages contain signed Letters of Demand to their Representatives
and Senators requesting that they review the hearing material, act to uphold
the Constitution and formally respond to the constituent.
Exact details of the location of the constituents' meeting, procedures,
agenda, etc. to be announced later. The Foundation's van and a large trailer
will be permitted to park either at the Capitol end of the mall or near the
Smithsonian metro stop.
Monday, April 15, 2002
- Constituents of every member of the House of Representatives visit the
White House and their three Congressional offices on Capitol Hill to
deliver the hearing packages (the office of their Representative and the
offices of their two U.S. Senators)
- Each package for each Congressman contains:
- A full record, on a set of CD-ROMs, of the Citizens'
Truth-In-Taxation Hearing, which was held in Washington DC on February
27 and 28, 2002 (CDs include the video, hundreds of evidence exhibits &
a transcript);
- A full record, on a set of VHS tapes, of the Citizens'
Truth-In-Taxation Hearing (video only);
- A certified, written transcript, of the Citizens' Truth-In-Taxation
Hearing;
- The list of over 500 legal questions which were the subject of the
Citizens' Truth-In-Taxation Hearing, (including 460 questions which were
answered under oath by expert attorneys, CPAs, former IRS agents and tax
law researchers, and almost 100 questions which were not answered due to
the shortage of time);
- A copy of the Peoples' Petition for Redress of Grievances (or
"Remonstrance") signed by thousands of American citizens. The Petition
calls on Congress and the President to formally, and publicly, order the
IRS and DOJ by June 1, 2002, to:
- Stop enforcing the Internal Revenue Code as though filing a tax
return and payment of the tax was compulsory for ordinary Americans,
when in fact, it is not required by U.S. law.
- Stop forcing employers to withhold the taxes from the paychecks of
their employees.
- Stop forcing legally exempt Americans to file a tax return and to
pay the tax.
- OR -
- Schedule, by June 1, 2002, a formal congressional hearing
requiring DOJ and IRS to appear in public to respond to the evidence.
The People demand that the government cease and desist the
unlawful enforcement of the U.S. income tax laws against the Sovereign
citizens or publicly refute or rebut the answers the expert witnesses
have given under oath.
Finally, each package will contain a letter addressed to the
constituent's Representative and his/her two Senators, signed by the
constituent, on the stationery of We The People Foundation, formally
transmitting the package and notifying the Congressmen that:
- The elected 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 of the Truth-in-Taxation hearing.
- A reminder that they have taken an oath of office, which requires
them, as a condition of the public trust, to uphold the Constitution
of this nation.
- The constituent demands that this issue receive their immediate
review and consideration.
- The constituent respectfully demands that the representative
formally, and officially, respond directly to the constituent with
their specific position and comment, for all of history to witness, to
the specific legal charges brought in the Petition for Redress and
brought forth in the Truth-in-Taxation hearing.
Following delivery of the delivery of the "packages" to the
Congressional offices, the People's delegation will reassemble at the
White House, where a small group of constituents will meet inside, in a
video-taped meeting with President Bush or an appropriate representative,
to deliver a copy of the package, including the Petition for Redress, the
hearing record and the People's formal demands.
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.
And finally, please consider a donation to help the Foundation cover the
significant financial costs of this on-going effort.
