Bob- Here is the press release, it explains it in better detail. Your can go to givemeliberty.org to get more info. I think the website is a little cheesy. -Mana Congressman Roscoe Bartlett has rescheduled the citizens’ Truth-in-Taxation hearing for February 27 and 28, 2002. The hearing will be held at the nation’s Capital in the House Science and Technology Committee Hearing Room, (Rayburn House Office Building), beginning at 9 a.m. each day. The IRS and Department of Justice will officially and publicly answer detailed legal allegations directly challenging the jurisdiction of the IRS and the unlawful enforcement and administration of U.S. income tax laws. The hearing is in response to a formal petition to the government from Bob Schulz, Chairman of the We The People Foundation for Constitutional Education. In a letter to Schulz dated October 12, 2001, Congressman Bartlett reaffirmed his belief that it is his duty as an elected member of Congress to ensure that our government timely and properly responds to a citizens’ petition for a redress of grievances. "Now it is critical for the Congress to resume its business," said Bartlett. "An important domestic matter to address is the alleged fraudulent and illegal operations of the federal income tax system…You have my word as an elected member of the United States Congress that I will do all within my power that this event go forward, the IRS and the DOJ attend as they have promised to do, and are compelled to do by the Constitution." Congressman Bartlett also wrote, "Our country has labored under a federal income tax system that is inconsistent with the liberty of a free people. Quite simply, the government of a free people should not tax the labor of its citizens…." Congressman Bartlett went on to say that most of Congress now agrees that the federal tax system is repugnant to the Constitution and its laws, and that the current income tax system should be abolished. "Over several decades, there has been a substantial and credible body of research compiled that directly questions the legal authority of the IRS to: 1) force employers to withhold taxes from employee’s paychecks, 2) force most citizens to file a return, and 3) force payment of the income tax," said Schulz. "Until now, the government has refused to publicly answer its most vocal critics or respond to the specific legal evidence. The administration and enforcement of the income tax system goes on trial February 27th."
