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:    (continued. . . )

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. . . )

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 11^th 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.

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 Dallas 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.

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 40^th 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.  (continued. . . )

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.   (continued. . . )

Schulz to America:  Stop Withholding

Workers’ Rights Being Extolled
Company’s Resistance May Be Due to “Cooked Books”

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 Washington state and then south through Utah and Colorado before heading east.  Click here to see details of the schedule.  (continued. . . )

DAY 21:  Click Here for updated information on Gene Chapman’s death fast to get the IRS to answer a single question:  “What law makes me liable to pay the income tax?”

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 15^th.  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.        (continued. . .)

Shortly before 5 PM on the 30^th 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.  Click here to read Rep. Hoekstra’s response to Rose Lear.         (Continued. . . )

Operation Stop Withholding, which got underway last month in Nashua, New Hampshire and Irvine, California, is now in full swing. 

The We The People Congress has scheduled dozens of workshops around the country to instruct officials of private companies, workers and independent contractors on how to legally stop withholding, filing and paying the individual income tax.  

Prior to the start of the campaign, copies of WTP’s instructional 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 information was faulty or misleading. (continued. . .)

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.”    (continued. . .)

Rose Lear Heads for Washington

Final Days May Be Spent Asking for Answers
DC Press Conference This Thursday

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 some uneasiness when told of her personal decision to go to Washington.   (continued. . . )

Yesterday, Rose Lear of Muskegon, Michigan sent us a message which began, "I’m sending this statement out today because after 10 days without food, I'm not sure how much longer I will be coherent enough to communicate with you." Her entire message including the telephone and fax numbers of her elected officials can be read by clicking here.

Last Sunday, Bob Schulz traveled to Muskegon to meet and to help the Lears. After a failed attempt with the District Court to obtain a stay of sentence, Schulz accompanied both Rose and her husband William Lear to Duluth, Minnesota where William surrendered himself to authorities to begin his prison sentence for his recent "Willful Failure to File" tax conviction.  Click here to learn more about the Lears and this injustice.

Rose Lear wants the income tax Petition for Redress of Grievances answered.  

And like Schulz’s hunger strike in July of 2001, she is prepared to die to get those answers.              (continued. . . )

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.

Good News From American Free Press

Feature Story: WTP and "No Answers, NO Taxes"

The American Free Press newspaper, published in Washington DC every week (50,000 subscribers), will include in its March 10, 2003 issue, a multi-page feature article on our "No Answers, No Taxes" initiative, including the WTP Legal Defense Association. The article was written by the only press reporter (Don Harkins) to attend Freedom Drive 2002, which culminated on the National Mall in Washington DC on November 14, 2002 and triggered our national call for corporations and individuals to terminate their voluntary compliance with the federal income tax system in order to secure our 1^st Amendment Right to Petition for Redress.

As announced, the We The People Legal Defense Association (WTP-LDA) is being 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 1^st Amendment.

First Broadcast Spreading Quickly Across Internet

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 7^th.

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.
