Here is something interesting.
> If you VALUE your RIGHTS' please read!!......A call to all US citizens.

> A message from the "We The People Congress" <http://www.givemeliberty.org/>
>
> We Will Drive Together to DC and Deliver Our Warning:
> This Nation Has a Constitution. Our Government WILL Obey It.
> For three years, this Foundation has been unsuccessful in its numerous
> attempts to get our servant government to respond to formal petitions for
> redress of grievances regarding well documented accusations challenging the
>
> legal authority and jurisdiction of the US Government to enforce an income
> tax upon the People of this nation.
> From any perspective, the utter defiance of our government to answer the
> People's repeated, respectful and well-documented petitions is, by
> definition, TYRANNY. Our government's failure to publicly establish their
> legal authority in this, the most basic, intrusive and significant of all
> governmental powers - the power to tax - was the cause of our first
> revolution, and it may well be the cause of a second.
> These despotic acts cannot be allowed to go unchallenged by a free People.
> Tyranny is not some "concept" from the history books. It is not some
> "philosophy" of political existence. It is real. It is alive. It has dared
> to raise its head again. Unless repelled by peaceful means still available
> to us, it will proceed unchecked until the light of freedom fades forever
> from this nation.
> This is the core truth: The sheer availability and centralization of tax
> money in our federal Capital has distorted, perverted and corrupted the
> core design and processes of our constitutional republic, our political
> system and our social order. This money has provided one-stop shopping for
> corporations, financial interests and political operatives to feast at the
> federal tax trough. Indeed, no sin against the People is too great to
> fulfill the machinations of Washington's chosen to control life itself for
> all Americans and bestow favor and influence on those that pay tribute to
> them.
> We The People of this country have paid the price. We have lost our rights.
>
> We have lost our property. We have been enslaved to a system of money
> predicated upon debt. We have lost the right to defend our families or
> ourselves. We have lost the right to due process. We have lost the right to
>
> keep the fruits of our labor - our property.
> Our states have effectively devolved into mere "departments" of a federal
> bureaucracy. Our communities are endlessly plagued with social decay and
> disorder. Our families falter under staggering tax bills and debt loads.
> Our nation is going to war without a vote - a declaration of war -- by our
> representatives. They pass a "Patriot" act that strips our rights even
> further.
> With the government's permission bankers, insurers and government agencies
> monitor us without limit, and without a warrant based on probable cause.
> They track every nickel we spend, every asset we possess, every phone call
> we make and every internet site we view. We have a federal ID number that
> is required to buy, sell or travel upon a public road. Even our churches
> are "prohibited" from engaging in public dialogues on these serious
> "political" matters without risking their tax-exempt "license" from the
> IRS. And now, despite the plain language of the very 1st Amendment to the
> Constitution - our government has defiantly denied us our right to petition
>
> our servant government. This single act ought to send shivers through every
>
> citizen of this nation. This single Amendment clause is what explicitly
> insures that government always remains
> subservient and responsive to the sovereign People. The final, public proof
>
> of despotism has now been laid bare for all to see. Our nation is in grave
> danger - but it is not foreign "terrorists" we should fear.
> History records that there are very few moments where one's duty cannot be
> made clearer. We are now at such a moment. IT IS TIME TO RESTORE POPULAR
> SOVEREIGNTY. As the Declaration clearly states, it is We The People that
> possess the ultimate power as Creation's children to alter the form of our
> servant government at our sole discretion. It is time to proclaim, reclaim
> and exercise this divine right. It is time for the talk to end. It is time
> for the lobbying to end. It is time for bureaucratic maze-walking to end.
> It is time for impotent legal actions to cease. It is time for well
> intentioned rights groups and fledgling political movements to end their
> disorganized and ineffective flailing.
> We must face these facts: Our elected representatives ignore our pleas and
> petitions. Our courts provide no justice. The corporate controlled media
> pretend we aren't there. Our political system is beyond repair. Our elected
>
> leaders and bureaucratic agencies have little stomach for the changes the
> People demand to return this nation to Constitutional
> order. In short, the institutions and vehicles of tyranny will not retreat
> unless, and until, they are compelled to. It is time for a show of force.
> Our force -- a coordinated pro-active, non-violent, mass-movement. It is
> government's turn to fear the People. It is time for individuals, rights
> groups, veterans, homemakers, farmers, business owners, students and every
> citizen across this nation to DO SOMETHING and employ a cohesive strategy
> based upon force. It is time to publicly declare our loyalties, stand
> together and move in unison. It is time to reveal the true power of We The
> People. It is time to send a message. It is time to send a "shot across the
>
> bow" of the pirate ship "USS Tyranny." It is time to DEMAND FREEDOM.
> Every rights group, every person that has ever complained about the
> "system" or the "injustices" or the lawyers or the bankers needs to
> "put-up" or "shut-up." This is not about "left" or "right." It is not about
>
> parties or elections or liberal or conservative. It is not about a
> particular right. This is not about waiting until my organization or party
> passes the "right law" or gets the "right person" elected. This is a
> profound moment when we must ask whether we are still a nation founded and
> operated under the rule of law and divine right or we are nation of
> political expediency and corporate favor.
> This is about whether we side with the views of law professors from Harvard
>
> that proclaim that we "We have NO unalienable rights" that the Constitution
>
> is "merely a piece of paper" and that "Government should not be restrained
> because it can do good things for people." This is about whether ANY of us
> today live in a nation still ruled by a written Constitution. Do we have a
> Constitution or not?
> The risk posed to We The People by the realities we are exposing far
> surpasses ANY threat that can possibly be posed by ANY political ideology,
> foreign force, electoral outcome or "act of terrorism." This is about ALL
> of us coming together as we never have before, and should never have to
> again. The Republic is broken and failing quickly. This may be among our
> last, practical peaceful options.
> The Freedom Drive has been conceived and birthed for all the People and
> every freedom aligned organization to rally around. It is non-political. It
>
> is non-issue. It is public. It is big. It is designed to be a peaceful,
> substantial show of popular force that the media and government cannot
> ignore -- and only do so at their own peril.
> IT IS TIME TO TAKE THE DRIVE. If you've got a better idea - GO DO IT. If
> you can't
> afford a few hours or days off work to save this nation and your children's
>
> unalienable rights - live with the future you get. If you think you need to
>
> wait for your stocks to recover before you will contribute-- get ready to
> explain to your grandchildren how we lost our freedom. If you think you can
>
> elect some person or pass some law that will magically fix these problems -
>
> we're not waiting. We cannot "vote" our way out of this problem.
> If you're too scared to be a real American - we understand - it's a whole
> lot easier to wave a flag, isn't it? THIS IS THE MOMENT. WE WILL LIVE WITH
> OUR CHOICES
> FOREVER. We either exercise our remaining rights, in unison, en masse, or
> we will perish as a free nation and the last significant flame of freedom
> on this planet will be forever extinguished.
> Ultimately, nothing of this Earth is more important than individual
> freedom. It is a divine gift, it is the basis for a just and spiritual
> social order and it is the impetus behind all things of man that are
> righteous and good. As those who have passed in its defense know, it is
> worth everything. The Freedom Drive must become a priority in your life.
> Help us unfurl our collective force in Washington on Thursday, November
> 14th. THIS IS OUR MESSAGE:
> 1. The Constitution is more than a piece of paper. The People will not let
> it become a dead letter.
> 2. None of the unalienable rights of the People are subject to modification
>
> or seizure by the government.
> 3. The government is limited by the words of a written Constitution. These
> limitations and words are not open to interpretation or negotiation except
> by modification of the Constitution.
> 4. There are legions of People who will now stand to defend their Rights,
> Liberties and Freedoms and the essential principles of "popular
> sovereignty" and "government of, by and for the People."
> 5. After being summarily ignored, the People now understand it is their
> duty to meet force with force to defend against the government's
> unconstitutional attempts to seize power from them.
> 6. Our elected leaders have a moral, ethical and legal duty to uphold our
> Constitution and their oaths of office. They ignore these clear and
> unambiguous legal duties at their own risk and at the risk of this nation's
>
> future. We The People will hold them accountable.
> WHAT CAN I DO?
> A. Commit to drive to DC and exercise the force that inherently belongs to
> the People. Publicly declare your commitment and sign-up on the website.
> Tell us (briefly) WHY you are "taking the drive." Your comments will be
> displayed for all to see. Make your plans. Get your affairs in order.
> B. Make everyone aware of this crisis: your church, your co-workers, your
> family, your
> neighbors. Spread the word. Distribute flyers. Learn the details. Hammer
> the media.
> C. Join the WTP Congress. We need a functioning organization to effectively
>
> mobilize and coordinate our force. There is much to do before the Drive in
> November. We need those with energy, organizational skills, media contacts,
>
> management abilities, financial resources, creative gifts, social networks
> and a pure unadulterated thirst for freedom to join us and lead the Drive.
> D. Commit your organization. Get your corporation, church, business,
> synagogue, union -- any organization that cares about freedom -- to
> publicly sponsor the Freedom Drive. (See the sign-up page.) Sponsor a few
> employees - donate vacation time to a pool so that others can take time off
>
> and go to DC. Publicize it in your company newsletters, talk about it from
> the pulpit, allow people that come to your building to put flyers in your
> employee's mailboxes. Declare your public support to your customers large
> and small.
> E. PLEASE contribute money. This is an incredible, nationwide undertaking.
> No matter how many people we have to help, at some point - there is no
> substitute for money. We need to purchase large amounts of advertising,
> billboards, radio commercials, internet ads, etc.
> We trust you will judge both this Foundation's proven record, as well as
> the personal commitment and demonstrated sacrifices of Bob Schulz in
> determining whether we have delivered value for your investment in freedom.
>
> Let your dollars do things you could not do alone. Let your dollars tread
> where you might not.
> THE DETAILS: Freedom Drive 2002
> Freedom Drive 2002 will commence Veterans' Day weekend this November on the
>
> West Coast and arrive in DC at noon, on Thursday, November 14th. New
> details of the Freedom Drive route, rally cities, schedule details are now
> available. Individual drivers and organization sponsors can all sign up
> from our main Freedom Drive information page.
> Visit Site to See the Route, Schedule, Details About the Freedom Drive,
