No Answer, No Taxes???
Yeah right! Get real!
How many of us have the courage it takes to do something that audacious? To stand, right now, in a non-violent protest against the direction the United States is taking the American people, by withdrawing their consent, by withholding their support by not filing a tax return?
My guess is, sadly, not very many. Yet this is exactly what needs to happen, and this is the position of the We the People Congress. To stand! Not next year, but right now. Not after the Continental Congress 2009 determines it is the right thing to do, but now, and always.
It is difficult to take a stand. It is easier to stand when others stand. But no matter whether you stand now, or after Continental Congress, 2009, you will ultimately stand alone or not at all because it will come down to you standing, and no one can do that for you. What I hope is that your standing, your voice in the chorus, is not a matter of if, but of when.
If you take the time to peruse the many petitions for redress of grievances, properly executed and served on the appropriate federal government agents, you will come to understand, among many other things, that the IRS is very limited in the scope and jurisdiction of its power, and that most American's are simply not liable for the income tax. Regardless whether liable or not, by filing the form 1040 tax return not only is a presumption raised that you are laible for the tax, also established is the presumption that you are ok with the direction the federal government is going; that you are ok with the federal government's refusal to be accountable to the Sovereign American People; that you are ok with the fact that federal politicians and bureaucrats ignore the constitution, choosing instead to do whatever they want regardless of a lack of constitutionally delegated authority; that you are ok with the United States being an Empire egaging in "wars" i.e. police actions around the globe without the constitutionally required authority, i.e. congressional declarations of war; that you are ok with the president's failure to faithfully execute the immigration laws of the United States; that you are ok with the many other abuses and usurpations established by the government's dishonor of the People's legitimate petitions for redress of grievances.
Because the government has refused to answer our many petitions for redress of grievances, the government has failed to perform a very essential duty incumbent upon it as an agent of its principal, the People. Pursuant to the underlying principles inherent in the process concerning the petition for redress of grievances, particularly because the American People are Sovereign in the relationship, the government's refusal to be accountable has negated their right to act as an agent of the people, thereby releasing the American People from any otherwise presumed obligation of support through either allegiance or the payment of taxes. Even more, because of the long train of abuses and usurpations demonstrated by the petitions and admitted to by the government through its silent dishonor, the People have duty to withdraw their consent to and support of the federal government, as failure to withdraw such would constitute permission to the congressman, senators, judges and president of the United States to continue their treasonous betrayal of the American People. Think of it like disciplining a child. You warn the child not to do a thing, or to do a thing, and the child flat out refuses. Should you follow up the warning with inaction, the child's conduct is tacitly approved, and the child feel justified in continuing in his or her conduct with impunity. The parent is ultimately responsible for the rebellion of the child. How much more should the force of a rogue government be disapproved and even resisted!! The American People are ultimately responsible for the rebellion of their creature.
Anyone who thinks we members of the We the People Congress have been wasting our time, who despises our petitions for redress, who thinks we have failed because the Supreme Court did not want to hear our appeal relative to the governments refusal to be accountable to the people, does not understand the principles underlying the petitions for redress of grievances. You do not understand the foundation that is laid upon which is established the grounds for a peaceful revolution to occur in this country, and you certainly do not understand the underlying principle of and purpose of Continental Congress 2009. The time for talk has been over for some time. Continental Congress 2009 is not about mere talk. It is about initiating and executing an appropriate action!! It is the answer to the question, "What should a free people do?"
And so what should a free people do with a rogue government?? First of all, will all of America's Peaceful Warriors, America's mighty men, and women, please stand up, move to the front and make yourselves known!!! We need you! Now would be a good time!
Though the recent tea parties were an excellent demonstration of a certain disgruntled cross-section of the American People, the rallies fell woefully short of accomplishing anything of lasting significance. The hour is much later than most think! The biggest problem we face is the denial with which most are wrestling. So late is the hour, the American People should have been burning their tax returns!!
Putting it bluntly, if aggressive, non-violent, proactive measures are not taken immediately by a significant number of the American people, we will all find ourselves reminiscing a failed opportunity, rethinking the past, wondering why we did not act affirmatively back when we had the opportunity.
What is the primary action that can be taken right now?
STOP FACILITATING THE ENSLAVEMENT OF YOUR CHILDREN, STOP PAYING FOR YOUR OWN DEMISE ! ! ! STOP CAPITULATING TO THE ARBITRARY WHIMS OF A ROGUE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WHICH HAS DISQUALIFIED ITSELF AS AN AGENT, WHO IS MISREPRESENTING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND ADMITS IT BY IT'S CONTEMPTUOUS DISREGARD OF THE CONSTITUTION TO WHICH IT OWES ITS ALLEGIANCE, AND BY IT'S REFUSAL TO RESPOND TO THE PEOPLE'S PETITIONS FOR REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES!
How many are willing to put it all on the line? Their life, fortune, and sacred honor?
STAND AND BE RECOGNIZED!
Realistically, the question of commitment and courage can be answered relative to a formula which takes into consideration the gravity of the circumstance within which one finds one's self, coupled with the denial factor one harbors. Everyone has a different tolerance level, a different breaking point. An individual will ultimately feel compelled to act when the discomfort level to which one is subjected is more unbearable than inaction. This is what is meant by what is written in the Declaration of Independence that ". . . all experience has show that mankind is more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the form of government to which they are accustomed. . . " Once the boiling point is reached, the next element to overcome is the fear factor. This is the point where courage must be mustered.
The We the People Congress is an activist group specializing in non-violent revolution. The foundation has been laid, the revolution has already begun, the preliminary steps have been taken. The time for productive action is at hand. All we lack is numbers. All the land of the free and home of the brave lacks is courage.
The Petition for redress of grievances does more than lay a foundation for revolution. It is the best possible defensive strategy anyone could have at their disposal should they be indicted by either the State or federal government for the charge of willful failure to file income tax returns. It is also the best defense against a government charge of terrorism for merely exercising the duty to protest rogue government violations of the constitution. It is my experience that the threat of these two charges is the biggest hurdle between action and inaction; the debilitating fear incapacitating those who currently choose not not stand.
Anyone planning to withdraw their support from the federal government by not filing tax returns in protest of the current march toward totalitarian dictatorship will need to understand the power of this lawful defense, and how to access and implement this important strategy. Understanding this may facilitate courage not otherwise attainable.
In the meantime study and become intimately familiar with this excerpt from the ancient Magna Carta:
"If we, our chief justice, our officials, or any of our servants offend in any respect against any man, or transgress any of the articles of the peace or of this security, and the offence is made known to four of the said twenty-five barons, they shall come to us - or in our absence from the kingdom to the chief justice - to declare it and claim immediate redress.
"If we, or in our absence abroad the chief justice, make no redress within forty days, reckoning from the day on which the offence was declared to us or to him, the four barons shall refer the matter to the rest of the twenty-five barons, who may distrain upon and assail us in every way possible, with the support of the whole community of the land, by seizing our castles, lands, possessions, or anything else saving only our own person and those of the queen and our children, until they have secured such redress as they have determined upon.
"Having secured the redress, they may then resume their normal obedience to us." Section 61 Magna Carta
