We would like for you to attend. There is no charge. While the meeting is not secret, we are not seeking any media publicity. The meeting is being organized by individuals from several key freedom groups who have been working together over the last several months to plan, prepare and execute a large, coordinated, nationwide, multi-media public information campaign ("Project TOTO"). The goal is to educate scores of millions of citizens (along with accountants, tax attorneys, legislators, judges, IRS employees, and prospective jurors) about the true nature of the income tax laws, to expose operations of the IRS that are unauthorized by law, and to put an end to their illegal collection of taxes from people who do not owe them -- the vast majority of US citizens. We will present a plan for this multi-million dollar project that will utilize nationwide electronic, print and broadcast media to put detailed documentation before the public. If the government has legitimate answers to the questions raised by the legal research that has been done, we hope this kind of public informational campaign will force those answers to the surface. We have started to see some results from previous direct, large- scale, public educational efforts. We The People Foundation for Constitutional Education ran full-page ad messages about the income tax in the Washington Times last June and in USA TODAY on July 7th.These ads were a big factor in prompting the New York Times to assign its senior tax reporter, David Cay Johnston, to research and write an investigative report. His article appeared on the front page of the November 19th national edition, and was followed by an editorial on Tuesday, November 21st. Both pieces focused on the increasing number of employers who have stopped all tax withholding from their employees. The IRS failed to rebut the legal claims of the employers. Although the articles were heavily biased, it shows that the subject is gaining national attention. You may read the Times' article and our response to the article on our web site at http://www.givemeliberty.org. Another example: a producer for CBS' 60 Minutes II has now contacted Joe Banister for a piece that will air in April, which will presumably focus on Mr. Banister's decision to resign from his position as a Special Agent in the Criminal Investigation Division of the IRS because he could no longer enforce the Internal Revenue Code as if payment were compulsory. This was after completing a two year private research project in which he concluded that payment of the tax was voluntary. Another example: a producer for John Stossel and ABC's 20/20 has requested a copy of the tapes of the four symposiums and conferences the We The People Foundation for Constitutional Education has sponsored at the National Press Club on the subject of the fraud and illegal operations of the income tax system. As the story of the tragic events of a taxpayer's life unfolded in Massachusetts last week, we are reminded once again of the trail of carnage and human tragedy left by our income tax system and the government that refuses to address the legal grievances of the Freedom movement. Even if Mr. McDermott was liable for the income tax (which is not the case for most U.S. citizens), the law prohibits the IRS and employers from doing what they were about to do to Mr. McDermott -- garnish his wages without a court order. We believe the tide may finally be about to turn and NOW is the time to publish and broadcast the collective detailed, statutory and regulatory arguments of the Tax movement -- to put these facts before the American public to reach a critical mass of people demanding an end to these unconstitutional and illegal (corrupt) acts. We believe public exposure is the worst enemy of governmental wrongdoing. You are being invited to participate, contribute and join with others in this project to manifest a moment in history that would do proud to the legacy of our Forefathers. Just as those Founding Fathers pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to the cause of liberty, we will be asking each of you to consider a similar pledge. Each of you who participates has access to intellectual property, a network of citizens and/or access to financial resources. Although the primary project strategy is to widely disseminate our message for FREE, the plan also provides an opportunity for those of you who are major contributors of intellectual arguments and property to market your products and services. All financial donations toward the cost of the public information and education plan ( "Project TOTO" ), will be held in trust, managed by an independent attorney, and released only for the stated activities of this project. If needed, arrangements may be made for protecting intellectual property rights, etc. All donations to the Foundation are tax deductible :-) We believe that by standing together and sharing the collective burden of this calling, we can more rapidly and effectively accomplish together what none of us has achieved alone thus far. We intend to ignite a public discussion the likes of which our Nation has not seen for 225 years. Please come to our meeting, join your fellow countrymen and become the heart of a moment in history when We The People carried forth a great Light and took back our country. Reservations are requested so that proper facilities and amenities will be available. To register for the conference (it's free), click here http://www.givemeliberty.org/features/taxes/toto/registration.htm The meeting will be held from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., February 17th, 2001 in Washington, D.C. at the National Press Club, which is located at 529 14th Street, NW (at Ave. F).
