Dear Doug,
Here is my program:
#1: abolish federal income taxes on all federal employees,
by Act of Congress, in light of fraudulent motives
for the Public Salary Tax Act of 1939;
#2: implement #1 by issuing an E.O. to stop withholding at once,
and to cease/desist income tax returns by these employees;
#3: anticipate increased upward pressure on prices,
by issuing silver bonds from the United States Treasury,
in 1-, 2-, and 3-year maturities @ above-market
rates; encourage public agencies to buy these bonds;
authorize U.S. Mint to begin bulk silver purchases,
and accelerated minting of solid silver coins;
#4: recall all Federal Reserve Notes ("FRN's") within 3 years,
and issue regulations for all FDIC-insured banks to comply
over-the-counter, at teller windows (target: 1/1/2001);
#5: begin printing U.S. Notes in sufficient quantities,
to replace all FRN's, one-for-one, using "bearer bond"
rules, i.e., no I.D. or Cash Transaction Reports required;
U.S. Notes will be an interim measure, to be replaced
after 3 years by silver and gold certificates;
#6: use Federal Register to publish official AFFIDAVIT
OF EXEMPTION FROM WITHHOLDING IN LIEU OF W-4,
with regulations for executing and submitting same
to all private employers, anywhere in the state zone
or the federal zone;
#7: submit to Congress the proposed "New Amendment,"
abolishing the so-called 14th amendment and making
state Citizenship available to everyone, regardless
of race; the validity of the public debt will thereby
be brought into question, permitting discharge in
a competent U.S. Bankruptcy Court, convened for
this specific purpose; Congress can assist by
issuing special rules for appeal directly to
a 3-judge panel on the District Court of the
United States.

Candidate for Congress
