They Blinked....
From a friend:
For anyone interested, I can refer you to the right educational origanization so that you will not have to pay taxes LEGALLY if you qualify. Look at the IRS's instruction booklet last year at page 56, paragraph 3, I think. It says you can either do a 1040 or you can file a
tax statement. We have been successfully filing the tax statement which answers all 31 points that the IRS requires. You can to. If interested, e-mail me back.
Naturally the IRS is not wanting to be involved in a meeting that they can't win - would you? See the below.

Feds Cancel We The People
'Don't File Until The Trial' IRS Meeting

Apparently without a leg to stand on, the federal government has decided to take its ball and go home. Congressman Roscoe Bartlett (R-Maryland), one of the representatives who helped set up the meeting, now claims that people from the Internal Revenue Service and the Justice Department will not attend, there will be no meeting. After more than a year of trying, including a 17 day fast by Bob Schulz of the We The People Foundation,
the meeting was originally scheduled for September 25th and 26th of last year. Of course, the events of September 11th canceled that. Recently, the meeting was rescheduled for February 27th and 28th of this year.
About a year ago, the We The People Foundation was paying for and running full-page ads in USA Today. Ads that laid out one heck of a case for why the Internal Revenue Service or the government had no right to collect a personal income tax or make employers withhold money for such a tax. Even
claiming that the original 1913 legislation for such a tax had never been properly ratified. Copies of these ads are still available on their web site.
Congressman Bartlett, a man who defines himself as a citizen-legislator and not a politician, now says that he's upset by the "Don't File Until The Trial" campaign We The People is currently promoting. As if a public
terrorized by the IRS is suddenly going to develop the courage to not file their tax returns unless they've got money coming back, of course.
Come off it congressman. There's nothing in this campaign that wasn't stated clearly in the full-page ads run by the same organization a year ago. What is it you're afraid of?
We've got to conclude that the government has no valid defense and would take any excuse to put the subject to rest, to avoid answering the allegations. The timing of this meeting still left a month and a half for
people to pay their taxes, to beat the deadline of April fifteenth.
Our governmental servants have lost the battle by refusing to show up. They have no answer to the charges. Isn't that obvious? This is a copy of the letter sent to Mr. Schulz

Dear Bob:
I am quite dismayed by the tone of your rhetoric on your web
page-- "Wait to File Until the Trial." When I first met you in July of 2001, you seemed to want answers to questions regarding the legitimacy of the 16th Amendment to the Constitution. As a congressman who believes and
follows the Constitution, you found a willing ear. In the numerous meetings that followed, I never advocated the non-payment of income taxes. You were quick to agree and assured me that you never took this position as well. The information that you are currently disseminating concerning the February 27 & 28 forum is misleading. While I remain
committed to making every effort so that you can exercise your constitutional right to get answers to your questions, your rhetoric has made it impossible for the forum to take place because the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) will not participate. This is the alternative. I do not believe that IRS and DOJ
will refuse to answer my questions. Please send the questions that you and your team developed to my Washington, D.C. office. I will refer them to the appropriate individuals at the IRS and the DOJ to respond. Since I know that there are thousands of people across this nation who want answers to similar questions, I will post both the questions and answers on my congressional web site. In any future statements regarding my
support please be sure that it is clear that I am supporting your constitutional rights and not that I am advocating not filing and not paying taxes.
Sincerely,
ROSCOE G. BARTLETT
Member of Congress
