We The People - Monday Show @ 8pm CST

Today we have Attorney Jeff Dickstein (jeffdickstein.com), who is representing Bill Benson in the government's effort to burn and ban his book, THE LAW THAT NEVER WAS (TheLawThatNeverWas.com). Benson contends that less than 36 states actually ratified the proposed 16th Amendment. The Government has sued Bill Benson seeking an injunction prohibiting him from 'falsely' telling people the 16th Amendment to the United States Constitution was not ratified, and therefore people are not required to file an income tax return. The Government contends it is entitled to an injunction because Benson is promoting an abusive tax shelter. The issues in Bill Benson's case, however, transcend whether or not the 16th Amendment was ratified. More important is the issue that the government believes it can take a position and punish someone who disagrees with that position, without affording the person any opportunity to prove the government's position is wrong. The government, unable to refute Bill Benson's facts conclusively establishing less than three-fourths of the states voted to ratify the proposed amendment, objected to the facts on the grounds they were irrelevant, immaterial and scandalous. The court agreed, and issued an order that Bill Benson is not to be allowed to defend based upon the truth. If this posture is allowed to stand, every semblance of justice in America will be trashed. The above questions need to be presented to the Supreme Court in a Petititon for Writ of Certiorari. Bill does not have the resources to fund this litigation and he has depended on you to finance the case. We have to raise a minimum of $2,000 just to cover the costs of preparing and filing the brief. The bottom line is this: if you don't fund the litigation, the brief cannot be filed. We, as Americans, supposedly have the right, when charged with a crime, to present a defense. It is now time to take Bill's case to the Supreme Court.
