This is the Political Action letter to the Secretary of the Treasury.

He is the person given all of the authority for the implementation of the IRC, and has delegation authority to see that the law is enforced. To this end the Office created the IRS which is overseen by the Commissioner of the IRS. We will not be writing him as he is acting under the authority and instruction of the Office of the Secretary of the Treasury.

This letter should only be sent after you understand the States article in respect to the illegal nature of the providing of records to the States by the IRS. This letter should be sent Certified Return Receipt Requested to evidence your informing the Secretary of your knowledge regarding the illegal actions by his Department in their providing information to the States which have income taxation programs which use federal information in checking on returns.

In the State of Alabama we have been able to get an admission by the Governor and the Head of the State Income Tax Department, that the IRS provides false and fallacious information to the State which it uses to create deficiencies against people and to then file liens against them and their property. If this was not enough, they also collect these fabricated tax debts and leave the citizen damaged.

We must succeed in making political pressure against this lawless action of the Department of the Treasury, in conjunction with the Executives and Director of State Income Tax Departments, as it is the primary motivator of the States’ seizure of the property of Citizens of the U.S. and their families, and when the information the IRS provides is proven wrong the IRS’s claims are then in doubt also.

Since the Congress requires that the State Executive make a written request for return information from the IRS, then he is required to do this. They must be held to this law which they are violating out of custom.

The political forcing of this situation into the face of the Congress will help them see that the American People are aware that the administrative powers of the Treasury Department are so often abused, and the requirements they face under the law are ignored. That the IRS has no regard for the Rule of Law by the Congress and the Federal courts. It is sheer numbers that makes the Congress Act, and this is another opportunity to tell the Congress what is wrong, and it is not the law. The law is just being ignored, as the Executive Branch is at war and in rebellion against Congress and the Courts and is thus denying and nullifying the Rule of law, as well as the right of the People to govern themselves and be secure in their dwellings and possessions.

The Treasury Department needs correction, not the law. If it cannot be corrected, then the IRS should not be allowed to keep any records at all, this would also tend to remove the method that the IRS makes determinations of additional taxes owed and would curb their power to seize the property of the people at will.

There is an addition to this letter to make it complete on the subject of departments maintaining Records. Please take a look at it.

Office of the Secretary
Attn: Robert Rubin, Secretary of the Treasury
1500 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W.
Washington, DC 20220

Dear Secretary:

I have recently read an article on the Internet, posted at Taxgate.com, regarding the practices and procedures of the IRS when supplying information to State Income Tax Departments. I found it rather disturbing as both the IRS and the heads of these State Departments are in violation of Federal law as the IRS provides them with return information without the written request by the State Executive for the return information.

It is plain to see that in 26 U.S.C. § 6103(d)(2) that the Executives in the State's department must make a written request for return information in order for the IRS to release any such information requested. This is the letter of the law as enacted by the Congress and must be complied with or there is a violation of law occurring not only under this law, but also in the Privacy Act of 1974.

Were you aware of this illegal action going on?

I am writing this letter to ask you, "What is your plan of action, to solve this problem, and see the perpetrators of these illegal acts prosecuted for abuse of authority and dereliction of duty under the law enacted by the Congress and violation of the Public Trust, and sentenced accordingly?"

It is the experience of the author of the article on Taxgate.com, that every State Executive who has been requested to provide a copy of his written request to the IRS for the return information, has never responded with any such written request, but only an agreement between the State and the IRS regarding the exchange of information which does not alter or touch upon the written request provision of the law.

It is plain to see that the Congress acted in good faith and vigilance to inform your Office what the actions of your delegates were to be. Yet, again, the delegate, and thus your Office have been derelict in your duty and have violated the Public Trust placed in you by the Congress, to perform in accordance with the Rule and letter of the laws as enacted by the People through their Congress.

Also, it has come to my attention, and has also been revealed to a number of IRS personnel, that the authority of the Executive Branch to keep records is quite limited by 5 U.S.C. § 301:

§ 301. Departmental regulations.

The head of an Executive department or military department may prescribe regulations for the government of his department, the conduct of its employees, the distribution and performance of its business, and the custody, use, and preservation of its records, papers, and property. This section does not authorize withholding information from the public or limiting the availability of records to the public.

It appears that the only files pertaining me that can be maintained by the Treasury Department would be those relating to my employment with the IRS, which I am not and never have been in. Otherwise the only other files on me that could be in relation to the Internal Revenue Service would be my possible building of credits towards social security benefits, which squarely falls in the jurisdiction of the Social Security Administration.

Mr. Secretary, if this is the rule of the law, why is your Office violating it every time we turn around?

What has happened to the rule of law as enacted by the Congress?

When did you and your delegates become above the rule of the authority of the Congress?

By what authority do you and your delegates ignore the laws enacted by the Congress, and thus render their authority politically irrelevant?

Does it not bother you that a Governor of a State (one who has threatened the use of the National Guard against the force of the Federal government) has admitted that the IRS provides false and fallacious information to his State, and that information being the same information in the IRS computer reveals that the information in the IRS computer is false and fallacious?

Since we cannot expect, and have secured for us, a life under a rule of law, are we to accept a rule under little tyrants appointed to leadership of the Executive Departments?

How do you expect society to sustain itself under this Executive Monarchy?

The laws the Congress have written and enacted have been acceptable on this matter, but the actions of your Office have been nothing short of lies, innuendo, and false witness, all in collusion with State level politicians and Department Executives.

Mr. Secretary, The Taxgate.com site has received well over 400,000 hits since November of  '97.   Americans, in droves, are learning the truth about the nature and the substance of the information exchanged between the States and the IRS. We are learning that there is nothing constitutionally wrong with the laws it has been enacting, just that your delegate, the IRS, has been given Carte Blanche by someone to ignore them at will.

Are you this person?

I know that I am not going to be one of the ones giving silent consent to this lawlessness anymore.

We now see how the Office of the Secretary of the Treasury has been usurping the rule of law by the Congress, in turning a blind eye to the fact that the information in the IRS computers has been illegally released for many years. It is now acknowledged by one State Governor that this information is false and yet used as a witness against the Citizens of his state to seize their property.

We demand that now and today, the laws enacted by the Congress be followed, not just by the Citizens, but also by the Federal Government (this means you and your delegate). Otherwise, what good is the Rule of  Law, and what good is the legislative power of the U.S. Congress?

What actions are you going to take to stop this lawlessness at the Treasury Department?

I am writing to my Congressional Officials to demand that those who refuse to obey the rule of the Congress, when they work for the Congress, as employees within the Executive Branch, should be disenfranchised, banned from any welfare program supported by the Federal Government, banned from future government employment, and entitled to transport to the despotic country of choice upon release from prison. We have no place for such arrogant lawlessness in this Republic, and such people can not be trusted, nor are worthy of subsidization.

I hope that you will stand with me in insisting that the laws made by the authority of the Congress be followed, even by you and your delegate. I expect an answer to my question of the action you intend to take to correct this problem.

Should you resist actively, or passively by not responding, our numbers will grow in any event. Remember, that as this becomes a larger political movement, the system you may be seeking to hold together from its present pace of disintegration, will only disintegrate faster.

We the People know that you should figure out a way to help us re-create and return to the RULE of LAW in America.

The choice is yours.

We the People, by our silence, have allowed the government to force us into this situation, and the only proper, humanitarian, and logical action is an all out effort to restore the rule of law by the Congress of the People to this land.

I expect a proper and on-point response from you within 30 days from your receipt of this letter.

Sincerely,

Your Name
