Godfrey Lehman, Sui Juris c/o 333 Kearny Street San Francisco, California AFFIDAVIT OF GODFREY LEHMAN CALIFORNIA STATE/REPUBLIC ) ) Subscribed, Sworn and Sealed CITY/COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO ) I, GODFREY LEHMAN, being a Sovereign Free Man, of sound mind and body, do affirm as follows: 1. My first encounter with Barbara Boxer on the subject of the income tax was after a meeting of the Raoul Wallenberg Democratic Club at the Wallenberg School in San Francisco. This meeting was held on or before April 12, 1986. With Mr. Michael McGovren as my witness, I gave Barbara Boxer a letter addressed to me, dated December 23, 1982 and signed by Mr. Alan Pastor, who identified himself in this letter as "Acting Chief, Technical Services Staff, Internal Revenue Service, Department of the Treasury, Washington, D.C 20224". In his letter, Mr. Pastor advised me twice that the Internal Revenue Service operates under a "system of voluntary compliance". Upon accepting this letter from me, Barbara Boxer replied, "I know it is voluntary." A copy of Mr. Pastor's letter is attached. I incorporate this letter by reference and make it an integral part of this Affidavit. 2. In order to record this encounter, I wrote Barbara Boxer a letter dated April 12, 1986, with which I transmitted to her supplementary material regarding the voluntary nature of the federal income tax. A copy of this letter is attached. I incorporate this letter by reference and make it an integral part of this Affidavit. 3. On May 29, 1986, having had no response whatsoever from Barbara Boxer, I wrote to her again to remind her of her statement: "I know it is voluntary", and to advise her that Title 18 of the United States Codes (the Criminal Code) declares that any public official, who has knowledge of a crime being committed and who conceals or does not report that crime, is committing a criminal act herself. I have not received any communication from Barbara Boxer since then. Subsequently, Michael McGovren presented me with a copy of a letter which he also wrote to Barbara Boxer on June 10, 1986. Copies of these two letters are attached. I incorporate these two letters by reference and make them an integral part of this Affidavit. Affidavit of Godfrey Lehman: Page 1 of 2 4. I approached Barbara Boxer again when she addressed a scheduled community meeting in San Francisco in August of 1990, with Kirby Ferris as my witness. At that time, I presented Barbara Boxer with a copy of the book The Law That Never Was, volume one, authored by Bill Benson and M. J. "Red" Beckman. This book documents that the 16th Amendment, which the Internal Revenue Service declares is the source of its authority for collecting federal income taxes, was falsely certified as ratified on February 25, 1913, when in fact it never was ratified. Barbara Boxer promised to study the material and to act upon it. I did not, however, record this encounter with any subsequent correspondence. Further This Affiant saith not.
