This may not be our approach to tax issues but I sure wish her all the
success she needs. An interesting read and also reveals the corruption of
those keeping the truth suppressed.

Dear David:
For your information, here's a copy of Lynne Meredith's letter she wrote to
ABC TV over the weekend regarding Friday's 20/20 show which featured
coverage of her situation by 20/20 correspondent Lynn Sherr. I'd like to
thank Joe Thornton WTP State Coordinator from New Mexico for passing this
along - see below.
Nobody is claiming to be perfect, but from watching that show everything in
my mind, heart and soul echoed very loud and clear that Lynne Meredith is a
woman who is deeply committed to the truth as she's been trying to help and
serve others.
I was amazed that ABC could not come up with something more convincing than
a shady-looking individual who spouted off that Lynne and all of her clients
should be ready to either spend time in jail or head for the Mexican
boarder.
As for what ABC did decide to show, from Lynne Meredith's letter below there
are HUGE pieces of the truth regarding herself, Irwin Schiff and others that
they decided to leave out. It was a wonderful example of media spin
controlled by a corporate-government oligarchy seeking to prevent others
from receiving and sharing the real truth about the corruption they have
been benefitting from at the expense of We The People. And to think the
likes of Lynn Sherr, Catie Couric, Peter Jenning and Tom Brokaw and others
get paid millions to keep this charade alive makes it even more disgusting.
David, I hope you are humble, open and bright enough to see through this
cloud of smoke, fire and exhaust fumes coming from inside the Wizard's
Castle. Please pass this on to your contacts at the Department of Justice
and the Internal Revenue Service. Perhaps "a few good men" inside these
organizations will come to understand what Joe Bannister, John Turner,
Sherry Jackson - all ex-IRS agents - have come to understand for themselves
- ie...
THE IRS CONDUCTS FRAUD AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
AND THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX IS A MASSIVE HOAX.
Ask yourself: what side of the curtain do you want to be on as more and more
and more and more and more energy, light, truth and love is applied to this
story from all over God's wonderful green earth? And even if you go outside
the curtain but remain inside the castle please ask youself, do you really
want to continue to hang out inside the Wizard's Castle as more and more and
more and more individuals exit toward the FREE light of this New Day that is
dawning in our wonderful world?
As my late grandfather from Montana used to say every morning when he'd have
breakfast, "it's GREAT to be alive!!!"
Thanks for reading this and sharing David!!
Peace and God Bless!!

PS. Since I haven't heard back from your PR person, let me know if you can
do anything to influence whoever inside the NYTs you need to get to to allow
you to go on the air for an interview here in Chicago for our week-long Tax
Honestry series on AM drive time radio. Since We The People cannot get out
government to speak about the truth relating to this subject matter, perhaps
you could help make a connection which can make a positive difference.

Original message reads:
Hello Freedom Lover!
I hope you saw the 20/20 segment last night on Lynne Meredith called, "Are
Income Taxes a matter of choice?" If you missed it a summary is at the
<http://www.abcnews.com>.
Then click on 20/20. There was also a different
segment on Tom Brokaw, on Thursday night.
So far this segment is #2 in the number of e-mails received. Please pass
this e-mail on so that 20/20 knows we want some SERIOUS coverage about this
topic and we are tired of the continued suppression of the truth! I believe
that the American people have had enough of the "ruthless, lawless, and out
of control" IRS and are ready for a change!
Here is a copy of the e-mail I sent:
Dear ABC:
I was the subject of last night's (January 17, 2003) 20/20 segment, "Are
income taxes a matter of choice?"
Thank you for letting me share some of my thoughts with your viewing
audience. I think that overall it was a piece was good and it showed both
sides of issue. Although, the person defending the IRS has never read my
books and has no idea what my legal arguments are.
Your subliminal message, "Pay taxes or go to jail", however, was misleading.
There are people who have won 'failure to file' cases against the IRS and
would be glad to forward copies of them to you.
Also, your comments on Phil Marsh excluded the relevant fact that the
convictions of him and his colleagues was overturned by the 9th Circuit on
Appeal. Unfortunately, because of the length of the appeals process, he died
before the decision was rendered.
Also, convictions for charges almost identical to those alleged in our case
were overturned in the 9th Circuit case of: United States v. Dahlstrom, 713
F.2d 1423 (9th Cir. 08/24/1983). The attorney in this case was Joe Alfred
Izen, who is also our attorney. When I made the statement, "You are not
legally required to file a tax return..." your editors failed to show that I
was reading directly from a letter from the IRS on their own letterhead.
Also I was cut off before I could read the notarized letters I had from the
Chief of Accounting of the IRS that admitted:
"According to our National Office a Pure Trust Organization (an
unincorporated business trust) has no filing requirements and is a
nontaxable organization..."
How can I be guilty of failing to file a return for an entity that has no
legal filing requirements?
The IRS Chief of Accounting did not respond by stating that the trusts were
bogus, abusive or not recognized. They merely said that they were NONTAXABLE
ORGANIZATIONS.
(I gave copies of the letters to Susan Welsh, 20/20's Assistant Producer.)
I continue to assert that I have broken no law and the IRS is abusing their
power in an attempt to silence me. The intelligence of the people was
insulted when the government forced me to stop selling my books a condition
of release. The people should be allowed to make up their own minds!
The government is unhappy with the truths I have uncovered and believes me
to be a financial threat to the "status quo". However, my first duty is to
the primary branch of government, the people. We are, after all, a
government of the people, by the people and for the people! A country cannot
prosper if it leaves its Citizen
struggling financially! A tax system that operates by instilling fear in
the American people has no place in American law! A part of the interview
that was not aired were some intelligent alternatives I presented for
financing this country, that would put dramatically more money in the
Treasury of the United States of America, to be used for the government's
lawful functions WITHOUT the need for taxing the labor of the private
Citizen.
An article published in the LA Times in May of 1985, quoted, President,
Ronald Reagan, as saying to a crowd erupting into cheers and applause; "Our
federal tax system is, in short, utterly impossible, unjust and completely
counter productive. It has earned a rebellion and its time we rebelled." The
tax laws are so
complex, even Albert Einstein was quoted as saying. "The hardest thing in
the world to understand is the Income Tax."
The reason that the mainstream, attorneys and CPAs have listened to me is
because my books are supported by case law, supreme court decisions,
statutes and regulations. It is because I am telling the TRUTH and it is
verifiable! For over 80 years the IRS has relied upon the people not asking
for proof of the existence of an actual statute that creates a liability for
a tax on the private labor of a Citizen of any of the 50 states. There is
none. They collect the tax by instilling fear in the American people.
I have never had a complaint filed against me by any of my readers or trust
clients in the eleven years I have been operating 'We the People'. The
people realize that the IRS violates the law!
I have also never received a Notice of Tax Due, an Assessment (as I can
verify, pursuant to a FOIA response) I have also never received any notice
that the IRS had a problem with the trusts. I have over 200 years of case
law supporting their legality.
There are CERTAINLY a lot easier ways to make a living than taking on the
most powerful agency in America.
It was hardly the exotic lifestyle that your segment painted. Every day we
were exposed to the horrors of the IRS, cleaning out a Citizen's bank
account, seizing a Citizen's wages so he or she couldn't pay their rent or
support their families, taking away a Citizen's car so they couldn't go to
work, etc. etc. ALL WITHOUT DUE PROCESS OF THE LAW! We also heard stories of
suicides where the remedy came too late. We gave the people hope and we gave
them remedy in the
law. Fortunately, we were able to stop many of these IRS abuses and achieved
success by holding the agency accountable to the law.
In our own $100 million suit against the agency, filed by five women,
without an attorney, for damages incurred in a 1998 Search and Seizure raid
by 40 agents with guns, axes and battering rams, against my home and
businesses, the agent in charge has been denied immunity by the District
Court of California on the grounds that
he violated clearly established law.
As I expected, the segment was closed by asking me what would I do if I lost
on all levels of appeal. Of course, the ONLY answer to that particular
question is "Go to jail". There are many political prisoners, who have
broken no law other than offending the government. I do not intend to become
one of them!
In 1846, Henry David Thoreau, famous for his essay on "Civil Disobedience"
was put in prison for refusing to pay taxes, based upon his principles. When
his friend, Ralph Waldo Emerson came to prison to visit him he asked: "What
are you doing in there?" Thoreau replied indignantly: "What are you doing
out there?"
I am absolutely convinced, however, that the law will prevail, that I will
NOT go to jail. We WILL prevail and we WILL be acquitted of all charges!
I will keep you updated and thanks for the opportunity to be on your
program!
Love and Liberty,
Lynne Meredith
