>Dear Patriotic Americans:
>
>Over the last few months, I have gathered an incredible amount of information
>from a wide variety of sources indicating there are severe problems with the
>IRS and the Federal Income Tax. Based on this information I have compiled a
>list of questions the answers to which every American has an ABSOLUTE RIGHT.
>
>I prepared these questions over the last several days. A copy of the letter
>containing these VITAL QUESTIONS is attached to this document. The name of
>the file is "IRSQuest.Txt". This afternoon, I mailed the letter to the IRS
>at the address shown below. I also faxed copies to my Senators and
>Congressman.
>
>PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO ME AND YOURSELF THREE FAVORS:
>
>1. Read the questions and see if you need to know the answers. Determine if
>you have a PERFECT RIGHT to these answers. Would it be HIGHLY VALUABLE
>AND/OR CRITICAL for you to have the answers if the answers said in writing
(si
>gned by an IRS employee so that you can LEGALLY place reliance on it) that
>you were not required to keep records, file tax returns or pay federal income
>taxes or social security ever again?
>
>2. PLEASE ask the IRS for your own signed copy of the answers to these VITAL
>QUESTIONS! This is VERY VERY IMPORTANT. If we can get a few thousand
>requests in to the IRS for these answers, they will be on notice that these
>questions can not be ignored and must be answered. They may be able to
>avoid answering me. They can't avoid answering thousands or tens of
>thousands of people who all have the questions and probably already know most
>of the answers. Besides, if you ask for the answers and they won't give
>them, will you ever be able to file a tax return again since you would be
>more confused than ever? NOTE: IF YOU CAN, SEND YOUR LETTER CERTIFIED MAIL
>RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED -- INVEST A COUPLE OF BUCKS IN YOUR FUTURE AND YOUR
>CHILDREN'S FUTURE! If you can not send it Certified within 24 hours, send it
>by REGULAR MAIL right now! Having all the letters show up over a 2-3 day
>period will get us the most impact. If you can, send or fax copies of your
>request to your Senators and Congressman. Addresses, fax numbers, e-mail
>addresses, etc. for members of Congress are posted on the web site shown
>below. E-mailing them a copy of the attached letter and asking for a
>response would be good also. Also, don't forget your local media! BUT
>ABOVE ALL, SEND THE REQUEST FOR THE ANSWERS TO THE ADDRESS SHOWN BELOW! THE
>MORE ATTENTION WE CAN FOCUS ON THIS ISSUE, THE BETTER.
>
>You can mention in your request letter that I supplied you (directly or
>indirectly) with a copy of the letter containing all the questions. Since
>none of the answers will be personal anyway but are important for ALL
>AMERICANS you have every right to know the answers.

>Dear Sirs:
>
> I have become extremely confused about my liability for Federal Income
>Tax. I am not a "Tax Protester" and I clearly believe in paying all
amounts owed.
>But there seems to be a lot of evidence in books and on the Internet that
suggests
>that myself and citizens of the 50 States are not subject to this tax. I
have written
>this letter in an attempt to get a clarification so that I can conduct
myself in a
>lawful manner. If there is a massive amount of disinformation regarding
these
>matters, then the public needs to know the truth.
>
> I have a number of questions. The questions are not asked in any way to
>harass, threaten or intimidate anyone. Each has been carefully thought
out based
>on the information reviewed. Answers to each of the questions is highly
important
>in deciding what must be done. I would assume that IRS training covers
the vast
>majority of these questions and upper management should be able to help
with the
>remainder.
>
> The information I have suggests that it is vital to have a clear
meaning of
>the words as they are used in any particular section of the IRC or other
rules
>and/or regulations. For this reason, please define all words used in your
response
>so as to be crystal clear as to what you mean. I also understand that
capitalization
>is also important. If a word has different meanings depending on whether
or not
>it is capitalized, please give both. Not being an expert, please excuse my
>capitalizations because I may use the wrong ones. If capitalization makes
any
>difference in my questions, please answer under both the capitalized and non-
>capitalized forms. Make sure your answers have the correct
capitalizations for
>clarity. It is vital that the person who prepares this response also give
their name,
>phone number, address, and credentials so that I can rely on the answers.
Here
>are the questions:
>
>1. IDENTITY OF THE IRS: What is the IRS? When did Congress approve
>it? Is it really a federal agency? Is it really a branch of the
Treasury where the
>term Treasury refers to a governmental agency as opposed to part of some
>Corporation? Is the IRS the same as the BIR? Is the IRS a Trust created
in or
>associated with Puerto Rico? If it is a Trust, who owns it? Where is
the IRS's
>Delegation Of Authority? Can you supply a copy of Treasury Delegation Order
>No. 150-37 dated March 17, 1955? Can you supply a copy of the Delegation of
>Authority Order dated April 22, 1982? Does this document state "This Order
>supersedes Treasury Department Order No. 150-37? Is it true that the number
>of the new document dated April 22, 1982 also is Order No. 150-37? If so,
how
>could this be? Does it mean that the new document was not properly
registered
>and filed? Does that mean it is of no effect? What about the DOA document
>created in 1986 known as Order No. 150-10? Was it ever signed? Has any DOA
>regarding the IRS ever been published in the Federal Register? If so,
please state
>the dates and the length of time that a DOA is vaild. Isn't publication
necessary
>per 44 USC Section 1505? If not published is it valid? Does not 26 USC
rest
>entirely on a valid Delegation of Authority? How are citizens to take
notice of a
>DOA if it is not brought out into the light of day? Does this mean that
the IRS has
>no authority whatsoever?
>
>2. DEFINITION OF INCOME, EMPLOYEE, CORPORATION,
>TRADE OR BUSINESS, BUSINESS AND BUSINESS INCOME:
>What is income as it is defined for federal income tax purposes? If there
are
>multiple definitions, please give them all including where they can be
found in the
>IRC, CFR, etc. and what the individual definitions are related and
applicable to.
>I can not find a definition which is not circular. Every case I have
seen says that
>income is not wages and salaries. Does income for non-federal employees
living
>in the 50 states include wages and salaries? What court rulings, laws,
regulations,
>etc. are there to substantiate any definition of income which includes
wages and
>salaries? Is the Federal Income Tax just a tax on "Federal Income"?
Define the
>word "employee" as used in IRS rules, etc.. Is this definition for
purposes of
>withholding the same as that found at Section 3401(c)? Does this imply
that only
>federal government employees (and a few other related classifications) are
>covered by these rules? Why do most people think otherwise? Define
>"corporation". Is a corporation for purposes of IRS rules, etc. limited
to the
>definition at Section 7701(c)(3)? Define "Trade or Business". Is a trade or
>business for purposes of IRS rules, etc. the same as that given in Section
7701(a)
>also? If any answers to the above conflict with Conner v.US. 303 F Supp 1197
>(1969), Staples v. U.S., 21 F Supp 737 U.S.Dist.Ct. ED.PA, (1937) or
Oliver v.
>Halsted, 86 S.E. Rep 2nd 85e9 (1955) or Lucas v. Earl, 281 U.S. 111 (1930) or
>Edwards v. Keith, 231 F 111 (1916) please give the reasons why these do
not apply
>to the definition of income per IRS rulings. If income does not include
wages and
>salaries, why are all the instructions for filing written in a way that
implies they
>are? Why does Form 1040, Line 7 say "Wages, Salaries, Tips, etc."? What are
>the specific definitions of these items as used on Form 1040 Line 7? If a
person
>lived in Georgia, worked in Georgia and held a job at a private factory
for which
>he was paid $7.00 per hour and he worked 1000 hours and was paid for his
work,
>would that person have "Wages, Salaries, Tips, etc." as defined per Form
1040,
>Line 7? Why does Form 1040, Line 12 say "Business Income or (Loss)"? What
>are the specific definitions of a "Business" and "Business Income" as used on
>Form 1040 Line 12? If a person lived in Georgia, owned a business in Georgia
>organized as a sole proprietorship and engaged in the business of lawn
care for
>private individuals, would that business be a "Business" as defined for
Form 1040
>Line 12? Would that business have any "Business Income" as defined per Form
>1040, Line 12?
>
>3. TYPE OF TAX: Is Federal Income Tax a direct tax or an Excise Tax. If
>it is a direct tax, how could it be Constitutional? Was the so called
16thAmendment (I say so called because of the removal of the real 13th
Amendment
>and the questions of ratification of the so called 14th Amendment) really
ratified?
>If so, how/why have Courts ruled otherwise? If it was ratified, why has the
>Supreme Court ruled that it changed nothing other than to express a right
to tax
>federal citizens or employees of the federal government which the federal
>government had anyway (Brushaber,etc.)?
>
>4. IRS JURISDICTION: What is the jurisdiction of the IRS? Is it limited
>to citizens of DC and U.S. possessions? Why would otherwise intelligent
citizens
>of the 50 states believe that it applies to them? Under what specific
conditions
>might the IRS have jurisdiction over a citizen of one of the 50 states who is
>employed by a private company engaged in non-governmental work?
>
>5. WITHHOLDING OF INCOME TAX AND SOCIAL SECURITY:
>How can employers be required to withhold? Does the law not really
translate to
>the fact that the employers "may" withhold if there is tax liability? How
is tax
>liability determined? Are citizens of the 50 States required to file a
W-4? If not,
>why does everyone think so? If not required, why does the IRS seem to
demand
>it? Is it true that if W-4 withholding laws were ever Constitutional,
they were
>repealed by Congress in 1944? I understand that Publication 515 explains the
>implementation of IRS Treasury Reg. 1.1441-5 (26 CFR 1.1441-5). Please
explain
>the following quote from page 2 of Pub. 515 as it pertains to citizens of
the 50
>States who do not work for the federal government or an affiliated entity
of the
>federal government: "If an individual give you [the employer or withholding
>agent] a written statement, in duplicate, stating that he or she is a
citizen or
>resident of the United States, and you do not know otherwise, you may
accept this
>statement and are relieved from the duty of withholding the tax". Does
IRC Sec.
>6654(e)(2)(c) not say the same thing as the quotation above, which clearly
implies
>that federal income tax for residents of the 50 states has to be PURELY
>VOLUNTARY? Also, please give the definition of "United States" and "tax" as
>used above. Is there ANY federal regulation which requires non-federal
>employees living in the 50 states to obtain a Social Security Number or
complete
>a W-4 in order to obtain employment from a private employer located in one of
>the 50 states? If so, please give me the citation, the definitions of the
words used
>therein and any case law which supports this.
>
>6. DEFINITIONS OF CITIZEN, STATE AND UNITED STATES:
>Are all state Citizens also federal citizens. If not, can a person who is
a citizen of
>one of the 50 States also be a federal Citizen? I don't know of anyone
who has
>applied for federal citizenship. On what basis can a claim be made that a
person
>is a federal citizen when that person has made no election? Can reliance be
>placed on an oath that a person is a citizen of the united States without
giving the
>definition of united States? Would such an oath not be void for vagueness.
>Which capitalization is correct united States of America OR United
States of
>America? Why does the Declaration of Independence use the former? Does
>"State" as used in laws which deal with tax liability include the 50
States? Is not
>the definition of "State" and "United States" defined in Section 7701(a)?
Are the
>50 States sovereign Nations? Why is State and United States used in so many
>different ways? Is the "country" for citizens of the 50 states in fact
their state?
>
>
>7. STATUS OF THE CONSTITUTION AND COMMON LAW: With
>regard to the frequent use of martial law rulings, admiralty rulings, etc.
to defend
>the IRS, what is the status of a citizen of one of the 50 states in a
Court dealing
>with taxes? If there are multiple types of courts, please explain for
each. If a
>citizen is in a court under court martial rules or admiralty courts,
explain the
>reason why this is possible. Are we in a state of national emergency?
Has the
>Constitution been suspended? If it has, when did this occur? If it has,
since a
>suspension is by definition temporary, when is the Constitution supposed
to be
>restored? Did the Supreme Court "statutorize" the Common Law in 1938? Did
>it have the power to do so?
>
>8. SEIZURE AND LEVY: If the Constitution has not been suspended, how
>can property be seized without due process of law? How can bank accounts be
>frozen using papers which don't bear a signature or a seal? On a "Notice Of
>Levy" is it true that you do not include 26 USC Sec. 6221 (a) which says
who it
>really applies to? Is it true that it does NOT apply to most citizens of
the 50 states
>but was written primarily to allow seizure of wages from federal employees
who
>falsified their tax returns or committed some other crime in relation to
the tax
>laws as they apply to federal employees or related groups?
>
>9. KICKBACKS, BRIBES AND PAYMENTS TO JUDGES,
>LAWYERS, GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES, ELECTED
>OFFICIALS, ETC. INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE
>COVERED UNDER THE PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT AND
>RECOGNITION PROGRAM OR SIMILAR PROGRAMS: Are Judges
>and defense attorneys covered under a program such as the Performance
>Management and Recognition Program which allows them to receive financial
>or other compensation in any form upon the indictment, conviction or guilty
>pleading of a person in a tax case especially if that person is classified
as an
>"Illegal Tax Protester" or "ITP"? If so, does this extend all the way to
Bill
>Clinton? If not, where does it stop? Is it true that the IRS can not
supply records
>of these payments since most are made in cash? Would these payments be
taxable
>income? Does the President get $35,000 per indictment and the U.S. Attorneys
>$25,000 per indictment of ITP's as has been reported? Are additional
payments
>to the President even Constitutional? If the IRS is a Trust and the trust
is owned
>by people who are not citizens of the 50 States, is the acceptance of
these funds,
>etc. by any government employee or elected official not prohibited by the
>Constitution? Are their any records of any kind which detail exactly who got
>what for sending who to prison, allowing inappropriate fines, etc.? What
exactly
>is an "Illegal Tax Protester"? Does the word "Illegal" modify "Tax" or
>"Protester"? If it modifies "Tax", don't citizens have the right to protest
>something which is "Illegal"? If it modifies "Protester", please cite the
law which
>makes protesting taxes illegal. Have Congressmen, Presidents, Supreme Court
>Justices, etc. been compromised by the IRS in ANY WAY? Do Judges pay
>income tax? What percentage of judges pay? Is it true that according to
>Treasury/IRS 46.002, Privacy Act of 1974, Resource Document #6372 that the
>Criminal Investigation Division of the IRS maintains fines on all U.S.
District
>Court Judges? Would this not be a direct violation of the Constitution by
>attempting to bring the Judicial Branch under the control of the
Legislative?
>Does this not have at least the appearance of a Conspiracy to deprive
Americans
>of their rights and their property? Do IRS employees pay income tax? If
so,
>what percentage? Was there ever a document referred to as the "IRS Pink
>Pages" which told IRS employees how to avoid Federal Income Tax and how to
>win any action brought against them for failure to file or other tax related
>charges? Shouldn't Federal Income Tax at least apply to IRS employees since
>they are federal employees? Are they federal employees? If you have never
>heard of the "IRS Pink Pages" and I supplied you with a copy, could you
>comment in full, not in regard to it's authenticity, but with regard to
its accuracy?
>Would you like a copy? Could you verify the accuracy of the following
statements
>contained in the alleged IRS Pink Pages:
>
> A. "Income is not specifically defined in our manuals nor is
defined in
> I.R.S. Code. Congress did not define it."
> B. "Income has always been defined by the courts as to exclude wages."
> C. "He/She is exempt, as wages need not be counted."
> D. "There are also the questions as to both the ratification and the
> constitutionality of the 16th Amendment, but neither has been
ruled
> on by the U.S. Supreme Court and why clutter up a good defense?"
> E. "Since the general term "income" is not defined in the Internal
> Revenue Code (U.S. v. Ballard 535 F2d 400 (1976)) and the U.S.
> Supreme Court has ruled the Congress may not, by any definition it
> may adopt, conclude the matter, since it cannot by legislation
alter
> the Constitution, from which alone it derives it's power to
legislate,
> and within whose limitations alone, that power can be lawfully
> exercised (Eisner v. Macomber, 252 U.S. 1889 (1920))."
> F. "Since the Rules contained in the I.R.S. Manual, even if
codified in
> the code of Federal Regulations, do not have the force and
effect of
> law (U.S. v. Horne, C.A. Me. 1983, 714 F2d 206) and the power to
> promulgate regulations does not include the power to broaden or
> narrow the meaning of the statutory provisions beyond what
> Congress intended (Abbot, Procter and Pain v. U.S. 1965 344 F2d
> 333, 170 Ct Cl 408), and regulations can not do what Congress
itself
> is without the power to do; they must first conform to the
> Constitution - (C.I.R. v. Van Vorst, C.C.A. 1932 59 F2d 677).
Since
> the ultimate appellate court is the U.S. Supreme Court, we must
look
> to them for a definite answer on the question of conformance and
> affirmation of our little secret that wages are not classified
as income
> which can be taxed."
> G. Under "Handling A Jury Trial" - "Even if you get a jury trial
that is
> outraged by an agent not paying taxes you cannot be condemned.
> Both Tax Evasion and Failure to File require "willfulness". Again
> we look to the U.S. Supreme Court and find that, "The requirement
> of an offense committed willfully is not met, therefore if a
taxpayer
> has relied in good faith upon a prior decision of the court". "
(Bishop
> and Sullivan are cited).
> H. "Refuse to produce anything the government does not already have
> on us from payroll. We must refuse any I.R.S. Summons not
> judicially enforced, as long as the attack is in good faith.
The statute
> we usually refer to (Title 26 USC 7210) which prescribes criminal
> punishment for anyone refusing to obey an Internal Revenue
> summons for production records, was addressed by the U.S.
> Supreme Court in Reisman v. Caplink, 375 U.S. 440."
> I. "CONCLUSION: As you can see, by negating wages as income, only
> profit or gain need to be considered, making most persons
ineligible
> for filing. There is no willful act, no omission, not intent,
and no
> income ... hence no case for the prosecution, and even if
confronted
> by an angry jury, by relying on the U.S. Supreme Court decisions,
> YOU MUST BE ACQUITTED AS A MATTER OF LAW. If you
> are not acquitted, your lawyer will ask for a Judgement not
> withstanding the verdict, and/or appeal, from which you will
> eventually be found not guilty."
>
>10. SOCIAL SECURITY AND SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS: Is
>Social Security in fact voluntary for the citizens of the 50 States? If
it is, why does
>everyone think it is not? Is it required for citizens of the 50 states to
have a social
>security number? Is it required that babies have Social Security numbers
before
>they even leave the hospital?
>
>11. MISCELLANEOUS DEFINITIONS: Please define these words
>specifically as they are used in any way connected with tax liability:
include
> includes shall may.
>
>12. RIGHTS OF CITIZENS OF THE 50 STATES: What rights above
>those contained in official IRS documents do citizens of the 50 States
have with
>regard to the IRS? Can we individually sue employees of the IRS who
violate our
>rights? Do we have the right to sue for fraud and taxes paid as a result
of fraud
>intentionally perpetrated by agents or employees of the IRS? Would an
>individual who has had their rights violated as far back as several years
be able
>to bring such a suit? How many years would that be? If an IRS employee
>knowingly violated the rights a citizen of one of the 50 states, causing
that person
>physical or financial harm, could that employee and his or her supervisors
be held
>personally responsible?
>
>13. POWERS OF THE IRS: What powers does the IRS actually have? Is
>the IRS the same as the BATF? If not, why does the IRS seem to assume the
>powers delegated to the BATF? What is the legal support for seizure,
collections
>efforts, etc.? Are you relying on 26 USC 7608(a) which deals with alcohol,
>tobacco and firearms tax? How does this apply? How does the IRS conduct
>criminal investigations? Isn't a Criminal Investigator required? In IRS
Manual
>1132.75 (12/21/87) what definitions are being used to allow citizens of
the 50 states
>to be investigated since the Manual states that the Criminal Investigation
Division
>is responsible for alleged crimes "involving U.S. citizens residing in
foreign
>countries and nonresident aliens subject to Federal income tax filing
>requirements"? If the IRS is acting beyond the scope of it's powers, what
about
>26 USC 7214(a) which declares IRS employees to be guilty of a felony
punishable
>by up to $10,000 and 5 years for each offense for "willful oppression
under color
>of law", "knowingly demands other or greater sums than are authorized by
law",
>or "attempts to collect... except as expressly authorized by law to do"?
>
>14. PAYMENT OF TAXES: Does the IRC really say that all funds are to
>be collected by the Secretary of the Treasury? If so, why does the IRS
instruct
>citizens to send the money to the IRS? Why is it deposited into a private
bank (the
>Federal Reserve) rather than the Treasury? Does this mean that taxes paid do
>not go to run the govermnent but rather to enrich a private corporation?
Is the
>Federal Reserve even Constitutional?
>
>15. DISCLOSURE OF NON-VOLUNTEERS / CONGRESSIONAL
>KNOWLEDGE: Is it true that millions of Americans and many corporations
>have dropped out of the Federal Income tax system and are keeping quiet about
>it? If so, does Congress know about this? If they do, why don't they
just tell us?
>After all, they keep saying that the American Public needs a break on Federal
>Income Taxes. Why wouldn't someone in Congress just say "Hey, Federal
>Income Taxes don't apply to most citizens of the 50 states and never did.
We
>have all been defrauded by international bankers and your tax money is only
>going to enrich these criminals"?
>
>16. SOVEREIGNTY OF CITIZENS / JURY NULLIFICATION: Is
>it true that in Utah, cases for tax evasion are rarely or no longer
brought? If so,
>is this because the people of Utah understand that Citizens are the
Sovereign and
>can render verdicts without regard to the stated law? Is the principle of
Jury
>Nullification valid? Has Jury Nullification not been part of the Common Law
>since the Magna Carta?

>17. RECORD KEEPING REQUIREMENTS: Is there any legally binding
>record keeping requirement for citizens of the 50 States who are not federal
>employees? If so, state the specifics of the requirements.
>
>18. FILING REQUIREMENTS / AIMS/AMDIS FILES: Describe in full
>detail who is required to file a tax return. You can cite the IRC as long
as you
>make sure to include the meanings for these words in your answer. Can a
citizen
>of the 50 States rely on U.S. Supreme Court cases like Sullivan, Bishop or
Cheek
>as they relate to willful failure to file? Is it true that AIMS or AMDIS
files on
>alleged taxpayers show them to have failed to file taxes covered under the
BATF
>such as firearms manufacturing, alcohol production, etc. subject to an EXCISE
>tax which in the majority of cases have absolutely no basis in fact, nor
is there any
>reasonable belief on the part of IRS employees of such tax liability? Is
it true that
>you won't even let victims of this alleged hoax even see their AIMS or AMDIS
>files despite requests under the FOIA? Is it true that in at least one
"willful
>failure to file" case (Gabe Scott of Alaska), the jury was so upset that
10 of the 12
>swore to never file a tax return again and the other 2 said they would
continue to
>file due to fear of the IRS? Should citizens acting lawfully fear the
IRS? Should
>citizens acting lawfully fear any branch of government?
>
>19. PUBLIC PROTECTION / OMB NUMBERS / APPLICABLE
>TAX FORMS / "BOOTLEGGED" FORMS: Does 5 USC Chapter III not
>include these words: "1320.5 Public Protection. (a) Notwithstanding any
other
>provision of law, no person shall be subject to any penalty for failure to
comply
>with any information collection request if the request does not display a
current
>valid OMB control number"? Does Form 1040 have the OMB Number 1545-
>0074? Is this number assigned to by the OMB to a form entitled "TREATMENT
>OF GAIN FROM DISPOSITION OF CERTAIN NATURAL RESOURCE
>CAPTURE PROPERTY"? In the CFR does it not say the applicable form bears
>the OMB Number 1545-0067? Does 1545-0067 even exist? Does IRS Pub. 54
>page 13 indicate that the only request form assigned for information
gathering is
>Form 2555 which has the title "FOREIGN EARNED INCOME"? Can requests
>not bearing a current valid OMB number or stating why they bear such number
>be ignored by the public as indicated in Congress Administrative News - 1980
>VOL 5 for requests made after December 31, 1981? Is the Form 1040 actually
>classified as a "bootlegged form"? In that case what about CFR 601.106(1)
>which says "Rule 1. An exaction by the U.S. Government, which is not based
>upon law, statutory or otherwise is a taking of property without due
process of
>law in violation of the fifth amendment to the U.S. Constitution". Does
this mean
>that NO PERSON is required to comply with IRS rules, etc. because the IRS
>forms do not comply with the requirements of law? If not, why not?
>
>20. TC Codes: What is the meaning of the "TC" codes? Is it true that the TC
>code for citizens of the 50 states indicates they are foreigners filing
voluntarily?
>
> Please include in any response to this letter the signature of the
person
>making the response, specific contact information regarding the signer,
their title,
>their specific authority level, their physical address where they can be
served
>during normal business hours, their phone number, etc.. Doing so makes it
>impossible for me to adequately respond. Also, please be aware that I will
>vigorously defend any classification as a "tax protestor". I want to do
what I am
>Constitutionally required to do. I just need to know what that is. There
is no
>intent to argue, protest, delay or evade. I just need to get the facts
straight. If I
>have filed returns which were not required, I hereby revoke my signature
if this
>is a lawful action.
>
> If a response to this letter will take more than 30 days, please let
me know
>exactly who is handling it, how they can be contacted, etc. and when a
response
>will be made.

>thousands of others who are concerned about these matters. I can be
reached at

look
