Dear ______________

I have the best news any liberty-loving, patriotic American could share, and I'm going to share it with you.

 75 years ago, a daring scheme was put into motion by which a key Constitutional restraint on State power was effectively bypassed, leading to a cancer-like growth of the State into the dangerous monster it is today. This is NOT the good news.

But here IS that good news: The mechanism of the scheme was nothing more than the simple cultivation of public misunderstanding concerning the income tax.

Undoing this scheme and all its ill effects requires nothing more than for individual Americans to regain an accurate understanding of the tax-- a simple task already accomplished by many tens of thousands of men and women. No laws need to be changed, no amendments to the Constitution are needed; in fact, "we the people" need nothing from any state actor or official whatever in order to solve this problem.

We don't even need to act as a coordinated group ourselves. All that is needed is for individual Americans, one by one, to read the modest compilation of material at http://losthorizons.com/Documents/The16th.htm.

 The task is easy. It's just ten printed-pages-worth of text, with linked documents on certain specialized subjects totaling another fifteen pages or so (exclusive of some judicial rulings and law review articles which are relevantly excerpted from often much larger complete texts), plus another fifteen pages-worth of endnotes. No registration is required; no donations are sought; the material is free to all.

In the reading, and upon consideration of the documentary evidence provided, it quickly becomes clear that what is presented in this brief and easy little compilation of research, analysis and supporting authority is entirely correct. No great investment of study is required; in fact, all a reader need bring to the task is a grown-up awareness that those in control of the State are not always angelic when widespread public misunderstanding of an issue allows them to be otherwise.*

 So, the realization of a long dream of the American people is in hand: the end of everything everyone hates about the income tax. In our hands-- right now-- is the undoing of the mammoth liberty-and-prosperity-destroying weapon of special interests into which the State has grown over the last 75 years.

That cancerous growth of the State was made possible by the increasingly-systematic misapplication of the tax during that 75-year period to pretty much all economic activity, rather than the narrow category of gains to which it actually applies under the law and to which it was confined until the early 1940s. At that point the effect of an incessant 30-year progressivist campaign of disinformation about both the nature of the tax and the purpose and effect of the 16th Amendment combined with the psychological effect of the Great Depression and the hurly-burly of World War II to give ambitious statists a chance to experiment with administering the tax in a manner calculated to evade its statutory and Constitutional limits.

But the laws and the Constitutional provisions by which the tax had previously been restrained have never changed. Those restraints are all still entirely in place. The misapplication of the tax has been accomplished solely by exploitation of widespread ignorance of those restraints.

Thus, all we need do to end the scourge is hit the cognitive "reset button". All that is needed to end the scourge is to spread the word and see to it that this information reaches everyone.

You need to be a part of the "word-spreading".

There are a lot of things to complain about and worry about and fear in this currently "post-Constitutional" America. This is one you can actually do something about, and it's the mother-- or at least the wet-nurse-- of most of the others.

Everything has been done for you. All the research, all the analysis, even the in-the-trenches and on-the-front-line blood, sweat and tears of thousands of fellow Americans who have arrived before you and have been forcing the truth out into the open, sometimes at great cost.

It's time for you to become part of this solution.

Understand that this is the ONLY solution. There will be no remedy for the disease that is the State from the political process. That process is co-opted and corrupted.

There will be no remedy for the disease that is the State from the courts. They are ITS courts, after all.

There will be no remedy for the disease that is the State merely from punditry. Complaint and efforts to raise consciousness are, in-and-of-themselves, empty of practical effect. It is only when people learn what to do, how to do it and why to do it that practical effect is accomplished.

Thus, the only remedy for the disease that is the State is in individual American men and women knowledgably standing and re-imposing on the State the restraints of the People's law, one after another in greater and greater numbers until the outlaw State has been disciplined, regulated and shrunken back to its proper size and strength. This solution resorts entirely to our founding principles, and rests on a proven structure of law by which we enjoyed 140 years of freedom and prosperity unparalleled in human history.

The alternative is simply to wait for a ruinous, possibly violent, collapse of the State and hope for an eventual good outcome from the resultant chaos.  This is not a solution; it is madness.

Please become part of the real solution.

You need do nothing except help guide your fellow Americans to the liberating knowledge presented at http://losthorizons.com/Documents/The16th.htm.

You don't need to explain anything; you don't need to defend anything; you don't even need to act on that knowledge yourself. Just point the way.

I know I can count on you, and I thank you in advance for your help in this simple but oh-so-important project.

Very Sincerely Yours As You Uphold Liberty and the Law,
