The IRS & the Constitution

by: Irene Warren, September 24, 2008

Sept. 17, 2008, marked the 221st Anniversary of the United States Constitution, a time when many reflect on America’s heritage and freedoms. However, one organization is exercising one of its First Amendment rights by filing a People’s Petition for Redress concerning the ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment this year, an action to restore order within the U.S. Constitution.

We the People Foundation for Constitutional Education, Inc. is a 501(c)( 3) organization, established November 24, 1997. They filed a People’s Petition for Redress claiming that the United States government has violated the U.S. Constitution seven times, as Bob Schulz, founder and chairman of the organization, explained.

“In July 2004, almost 2,000 Americans filed a landmark lawsuit against the U.S. Government seeking to have the federal judiciary declare—for the first time in history—the constitutional meaning of the First Amendment petition clause, including the right of the people to enforce the Right of Petition if Redress is denied,” Schulz explained, as he recited a passage from one of his statements published on his company’s website. “We the people believe the Right to Petition is, in fact, the capstone right of the Bill of Rights and that its effect is the direct exercise of popular sovereignty—the first grand right of the Founding documents that declares government is the servant of man.”

Tonight, the President is going to appear on national TV for the purpose of garnering support for the Hanktator’s bailout plan. The plan is Unconstitutional on its face, since it cedes plenary power to Paulson, an unelected official of the Treasury.

Since the President is about to ask the American people to overthrow their own Constitution, the notion of whther or not the IRS is Constitutional is the mootest of points.

This battle has waged a hundred times and never won. And if the Constitution is overthrown by Ben Bernanke and Hank Paulson, there isn’t anything to discuss.

By the way, folks, it looks like the Fed is actually working to worsen the financial situation. How? Today the Fed drained at least $35 billion from its funding system.

IMHO, the Fed is making the problem WORSE so this bailout bill will be passed.
