ALERT & EDUCATE THE MASS MEDIA ABOUT DICK SIMKANIN'S UPCOMING TRIAL

Kevin Cannon, WTP Congress Alabama State Coordinator shares this idea:

"Per discussions during our last conference call with reference to the Dick Simkanin case in Texas, I have sent the letter copied below to the addresses in Texas listed at the bottom of this message. All of them were delivered, as I have not included the 6 that were returned as undeliverable."

Use this same letter:

To whom it may concern,

While I have checked out the web sites of dozens upon dozens of media outlets across the nation to include newspapers, magazines, television and radio stations, I find plenty of news stories on what business is doing, which is of interest to some people; I find plenty of news stories on sports, which is of interest to some people; I find plenty of news stories on food and fashions, which are of interest to some people; I find plenty of news stories on science, which is of interest to some people; I even find plenty of news stories on what is going on in other countries, which is of interest to some people, but what I don’t find are hardly any news stories on what is of vital concern to every single taxpaying American citizen and that is, the available evidence and the uncontested allegations of fraud and extortion that is the federal income tax system.

I find it disappointingly incredible that most of the media fails to report on, or even investigate, what would probably be the biggest news story in decades, and subsequently understand why, because of the news that is available on the Internet; the media is steadily loosing both credibility with and the loyalty of the American public.

My first effort will be to get the media to fulfill its Constitutional obligations and do its part to keep the government honest by contacting the media outlets directly. Anticipating failure at getting the media to fulfill its Constitutional obligations and responsibilities due to its poor track record on reporting this story thus far, I have already begun the process of contacting the companies that provide billions in advertising dollars to inform them that I, for one, do not listen to, watch or read from news sources that fail to report on that which is of such concern and importance, and that as such, they are wasting their advertising dollars.

I have long since given up on trying to intelligently communicate with our self-serving elected officials and the agencies of our supposed servant government. Since the media has failed for decades to do its job, government has been so corrupted it no longer listens to the people and most of our bought and paid for elected officials are only interested in getting re-elected, I will campaign for people to vote with their devalued federal reserve notes, which seems to get more attention than attempts at sincere and honest communication.

On the off chance that there is someone in the media who cares or is interested enough to do some investigative reporting, the search for the truth can begin by asking the Internal Revenue Service to show the chapter and verse of enacted federal law that requires American citizens to file and pay federal income taxes and then very carefully read what, if anything, they provide. The Internal Revenue Code is specifically written in such confusing legalese that it is very easy to assume, and that is the critical word, that most all American citizens are liable for the federal income tax.

If that gets too confusing, one can go to www.givemeliberty.org for access to many other sources that will lead to biggest story in any reporter’s career.

If the federal income tax, as it is currently enforced, is the legitimate law of the land, then report it, but be able to prove it. On the other hand, if the American people are being cheated, conned and lied to, then report that as well, but report something that is truly newsworthy to all Americans.

Most sincerely,

It is requested that you send this letter with reference to the Dick Simkanin case, or one of your own to the addresses provide, and any others in Texas you may have, as well as forward this message to all WTP County Coordinators, WTP volunteers and any one else on your contact list and ask them to forward it on to any and all. Imagine the incentive to investigate and cover this story that would be created if the Texas media received letters from 30+ State Coordinators, a few hundred County Coordinators and a few hundred more citizens from all over the country. If I were a media executive I would see an opportunity to get national attention by covering a story that generated enough interest to justify all that mail. Just picture the possibilities.

If we can generate media attention at Mr. Simkanin’s upcoming retrial it will be more difficult for a crooked DA and corrupt judge to railroad him into a conviction.

Consider the following. If Mr. Simkanin’s case can be successfully concluded, especially after all the work he has done and all he has been through;

The research he has done,

The attempts to get the IRS to be specific on the law,

The work he has done with legal advisors to verify his findings,

The training he did with his employees when he stopped withholding,

The time and effort he spent successfully pleading his case before two previous grand juries,

The harm to his business when the IRS went to his vendors and tried to intimidate them,

The 6 months he has spent in jail and almost being acquitted (11-1) of any wrong doing,

The time away from and harm to his family through all this,

then our cause will have obtained a very significant victory in that we will not only have one more case where someone has stood up to the IRS and won, but an employer who researched the law and refused to submit to the extortion of the IRS. This case would not only help convince other employers to research the legitimate tax law, but would provide plenty of documented evidence to seek indictment of certain federal officials for, at the very least, complicity in fraud and extortion. To defend themselves they would be compelled to provide the law stating where American citizens are required to file and pay federal income taxes and if they could not…then let the chips fall where they may.

I have also written a personal letter to Mr. Simkanin, as I’m certain his spirits are low and probably sometimes feels he is all alone. His address is as follows:

Richard Simkanin
REG# 30383-177
Federal Medical Center Jail Unit
P.O. Box 15330
Fort Worth, Texas 76119

As of this writing a new posting with some recent developments can be viewed at

According to this latest posting, his captors are doing all they can to railroad and break this individual; proving both that they are getting desperate and that our support is needed more now than ever before.

When evil men organize to do evil, good men must organize to do good.

The power of the pen is mightier than the sword.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends. We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 56 signatures on the Declaration appear in the positions indicated: Column 1 Georgia: Button Gwinnett Lyman Hall George Walton Column 2 North Carolina: William Hooper Joseph Hewes John Penn South Carolina: Edward Rutledge Thomas Heyward, Jr. Thomas Lynch, Jr. Arthur Middleton Column 3 Massachusetts: John Hancock Maryland: Samuel Chase William Paca Thomas Stone Charles Carroll of Carrollton Virginia: George Wythe Richard Henry Lee Thomas Jefferson Benjamin Harrison Thomas Nelson, Jr. Francis Lightfoot Lee Carter Braxton Column 4 Pennsylvania: Robert Morris Benjamin Rush Benjamin Franklin John Morton George Clymer James Smith George Taylor James Wilson George Ross Delaware: Caesar Rodney George Read Thomas McKean Column 5 New York: William Floyd Philip Livingston Francis Lewis Lewis Morris New Jersey: Richard Stockton John Witherspoon Francis Hopkinson John Hart Abraham Clark Column 6 New Hampshire: Josiah Bartlett William Whipple Massachusetts: Samuel Adams John Adams Robert Treat Paine Elbridge Gerry Rhode Island: Stephen Hopkins William Ellery Connecticut: Roger Sherman Samuel Huntington William Williams Oliver Wolcott New Hampshire: Matthew Thornton
