Subject: SIXTEENth AMENDMENT exposed by An Act or A Law!!! Date: Mon, 08 Jan 2001 From: Janet Lee: Meisinger Hi Dan, I am uplifted to see you people in Oklahoma moving forward with exposing the Amendment 16 fraud. However, why is this being present as a 'resolution' instead of 'an act' or a bill? Isn't a 'resolution' defined only as an 'opinion'? If we are going to go to all the work, why don't we the people instead introduce a law? I'd rather see an Act: "Whereas: Facts discovered in documented research in every state of the union prove that only (# of) states ratified the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, while the requirements were that 36 ratify, Therefore: This state legislature finds that all rules, regulations, court decisions,... are null and void, ab initio, and all people who have been damaged by enforcement of the fraudulent Amendment 16 must be justly compensated. In addition, any individual, agency, association or political group who introduces into this legislative body any further communist and/or unconstitutional agenda which deprives we the people of our God-given, American birthrights will be immediately exposed and brought before a People's Grand Jury. This People's Grand Jury will operate without any political association, such as the private lawyer club - the bar association, being included!!!" Blessings, Janet Lee: Meisinger Dan Meador wrote: Sixteenth Amendment Nullification Initiative Alabama attorney Larry Becraft gave an overview of strategy to have state legislature acknowledge that their respective states did not ratify the Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States at a meeting held at Freedom Hall in Marland, Oklahoma on Saturday. The initiative will begin with introduction of a resolution to the Oklahoma Legislature. Bill Benson of Illinois completed research by securing documents from archives at the capitols of the 48 states at the time Congress proposed the amendment in 1909. The research was completed in 1984. According to information in the Library of Congress, 38 states ratified the so-called income tax amendment (36 were needed), but Benson's research demonstrated that no more than half a dozen state legislatures actually endorsed the amendment as Congress introduced it. Benson's evidence was introduced in tax-related litigation in 1985-1988, but Federal courts refused to consider it and the United States Supreme Court took the position, "Ratification of amendment is a political, not a judicial question." Subsequently, each member of Congress was provided with personalized copies of the research, but Congress refused to consider the evidence. Various congressional delegates told those pushing for legislative nullification that whether or not the amendment was properly ratified is a judicial rather than a legislative question. In an effort to bring the issue to a head, the matter is now being taken up with state legislatures, with Oklahoma's being the first. A resolution is also being introduced to the Kentucky Legislature this year, then California will be the third. The advantage at the state level, Becraft said, is that supreme courts of the states routinely address whether or not state legislation passes muster. If legislatures will not investigate whether or not previous legislative sessions acted properly, the matter can be brought to a head via litigation. There will be a rally on the south steps of the Oklahoma Capitol beginning at noon on Friday, January 19th. Anyone who wishes to encourage the Oklahoma Legislature to give consideration to the proposed resolution is encouraged to participate. On February 19th, there will be a conference of the nation's leading tax reform advocates at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. The conference is expected to endorse Oklahoma and Kentucky initiatives, and if resources are available, launch a significant media campaign to encourage legislative endorsement of the resolutions. If three state legislatures will notify congress that their predecessors did not properly ratify the Sixteenth Amendment as Congress proposed it and as it appears in current editions of the U.S. Constitution, the amendment will theoretically be nullified.
