p.s. The "Volstead" connection now follows:
FIRST AMENDMENT PETITION TO CONGRESS
FOR REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES
Dear Representative/Senator ____________________________________:
This is a formal Petition to Congress for redress of a major
grievance which I have with the federal government.
Recent research has disclosed that the original motive for
Prohibition (the Volstead Act), was to give oil companies an
unfair jump on their monopoly over automotive fuels. It also
appears that the BATF were created to disperse an unlawful police
force throughout the several States, under the guise of
controlling commerce in alcohol. Once the monopoly was in place,
Prohibition was repealed, leaving alcohol high and dry as the
preferred fuel for automobiles, and leaving this unlawful police
force in place to extort money from the American People.
This research also proves that the "Internal Revenue
Service" [sic] is actually an alias for the Federal Alcohol
Administration domiciled at Trust #62 in Puerto Rico, under an
Act of Congress which was held to be unconstitutional in 1935.
The proof is found, among other places, in all the references to
Title 27 which can be found in the regulations for Title 26.
None of these regulations is lawful, because IRC 7851(a)(6)(A)
states that the provisions of subtitle F shall take effect on the
day after the date of enactment of Title 26. Unfortunately for
the federal government, Title 26, as such, has never been enacted
into positive law, rendering ALL the enforcement provisions of
subtitle F null and void. For example, the authority to issue
regulations in the first instance is found in subtitle F.
From the research cited above, I have come to believe that
the United States federal government is now engaged in a criminal
syndicate of extortion, perjury, mail fraud, theft, conversion,
fraud, and conspiracy involving all of the above. I therefore
demand immediate hearings on the relations between the "Internal
Revenue Service" and the Federal Alcohol Administration domiciled
in Puerto Rico and operating elsewhere on this planet. If these
hearings should prove that the Internal Revenue Service is not a
lawful organization within the United States Department of the
Treasury, then it is time for a major shift in the wind, because
every piece of mail they are sending these days is one count of
mail fraud by the sender. I think you will agree that We, as a
Nation, have a very big problem here.
I will look forward to your immediate response to this
formal, verified Petition for Redress of this major grievance
which I, and millions of other Americans, now have against the
United States (federal government). I never thought I would see
the day when I would be forced to define the "United States" as a
criminal enterprise, but sadly that day has now arrived.
VERIFICATION
I hereby certify, under penalty of perjury, under the laws
of the United States of America, without the "United States",
that the above statements of fact are true and correct, to the
best of my current information, knowledge, and belief, so help Me
God, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1746(1).
Executed on the ____________ day of ______________________, 1997.

Citizen of __________________________ state
