Chuck Kuffner claims I agree with the case made by We The People. I neither agree nor disagree, although I am inclined towards disagreement. The issues of law are far too arcane for me to state a position. I realize Kuffner has an FAQ against the tax protestor case in general, but I am likewise not in a position to judge their validity or whether they are equally as political a statement as We The People’s. Just because a lawyer wrote up opinions does not mean it is the only set of opinions on the matter or even that it is correct.
My stand is quite simple. Whether or not Bob Schulz has a legal leg to stand on, I find him a courageous individual committed to the cause of liberty. Unlike the al Qaeda hunger strike wimps at Gitmo, Schulz and Croteau went nearly all the way on a Ghandian protest:
July 20, 2001
BOB EATS THIS DAY. We The People have been heard.
High level DOJ and U.S. Congressional officials formally committed the U.S. government, in writing, this afternoon, to answer the People’s Income Tax charges.
Schulz & Croteau have first food in three weeks. Schulz heads home on Saturday.
Remonstrance hearing to be held on Capitol Hill. Rep. Henry Hyde (IL), former Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee is expected to preside.
Whether his case is frivolous or not, officials responded to the hunger strike and agreed to a hearing.
Those government officials are liars and dishonourable men. Their word is of no value and is meaningless. Their promises are as solid as a treaty by the Great White Father with the American Indians. That is the judgement I do make and will stand by.
It is independant of whether his case has any validity. They gave their word to hear it. I want people to know what sort of “men” we are governed by.
They reneged. They lied. End of story.
