You might also be interested to know Mr. Sparks informed us that under no circumstances would the IRS return my income tax or rebate checks. Your special agent, Mr. Sparks, also told us our 1040 I return was filed illegally. certainly cant believe this, either. That statement borders on the ridiculous! Your offices have in your possession via our 1040 return copies of a 5th Amendment 1040 income tax return from one Victor O. Petersen, and also a letter of acceptance for this specific 1973 return from Gordon T. Nelson, Chief, Service Center Audit Division, Ogden, Utah. Would you please tell me how can Mr. Petersens 1040 return be accepted and his income tax check sent to him, when you are unable to process our identical type of return? Perhaps your IRS computer is due for its fifty billion dollar oil change! I have repeatedly asked for your help in filling cut our 040 tax returns. So. once again, this is a request for help. I offer to file exactly as requested by the IRS, and to so amend my returns provided the IRS or any one else shows me how I can do so without waiving my constitutional rights. If this sounds repetitious, it is because this is the only way I know how to apprise you of our full faith and trust in our United States Constitution. And perhaps by constantly repeating ourselves the IRS will fully comprehend the full scope of what we are saying. I would also appreciate any further communications from the IRS be done through the federal mails, saving both the taxpayers time and their hardearned money. May I suggest to you again, that you send our income tax return check to us registered mail or otherwise. If this does not meet with your complete approval and satisfaction, perhaps we should meet in court civilly. Yours for Constitutional Taxation. 1 Gary O. Holland Rock Springs. Wyoming 82901 Bob G. Hughes. Dist. Dir. Internal Revenue Service Center Cheyenne. Wyoming 82001 Dear Mr. Hughes: Once again we have occasion to communicate with your offices through the federal mails. However, this writing is merely a follow up to our letter of August 27. has come to my attention that your special agents Jerry Spares and Kent Thomas had the effrontery and the unmitigated gall to call on one Mrs. Patricia Holland. 1377 Moran. Rock Springs. Wyoming 82901. Mrs. Hollands address is so far removed from us both in distance and in spelling, it only leads me to believe this is just one of another of the IRS attempts at harrassment toward me and my It family. Mrs. Holland informed me your agents did not identify themselves to her; they just merely asked if Gary Holland lived there. They were told no. Then without identifying themselves again, they wanted to know directions to my home. Isn't it conceivable that with four Holland families living in Rock Springs, that none might be related? Again, why didnt your agents have the common courtesy to call rather than make unannounced and unidentified visits on my family. I must repeat myself.. .any further communications from the IRS are not only respectfully requested but also demanded in the form of letters and writing through the mails. Patriotically yours, Gary O. Holland Rock Springs, Wyoming 82901 Mr. Gary O. Holland Rock Springs, WY 82901 Dear Mr. Holland: This will acknowledge receipt of your letters of August 27 and September 3, 1975. With reference to how a tax return can be filed without waiving Constitutional rights, we are not aware of any instance where the filing of a correct and complete income tax return has been interpreted as a waiver of any rights under the Constitution. With respect to your question concerning the tax return of one Victor O. Petersen, we are prevented by the Internal Revenue Code from disclosing any information to you concerning another persons tax matters in the absence of a power of attorney authorizing you to act on behalf of that person. Very truly yours. Bob G. Hughes District Director Internal Revenue Service PENNY DIMES COMING Instead of being concerned over what a dime wont buy anymore, we should be concerned over what a dimes not worth anymore and why. At the coin exchanges, where they are constantly selling and buying pre-- 1 64 coins for todays, it now takes over 3,000 "f todays dimes to buy 1,000 of these earlier dimes. So we can know todays dimes arent worth a third pf what dimes were worth a few years ago. Things that used to sell for a dime, if they now sell for less than 30 cents are a bigger bargain now than they were then. This is because three dimes now aren't worth what one dime was worth only a few years ago. For this. Congress is to blame, because the Constitution makes them responsible for coining our money and regulating its value. And we are to blame for electing and such unresponsible men and women to Congress. ng 1 1 CLICHES OF SOCIALISM Foundation Education. Economic for Irvington-on-HudsoInc.. New York n.

Failure to answer these has effectively silenced many a spokesman for freedom. Here are suggested answers to some of- the most persistent of the Cliches of Socialism. These are not the only answers or even the best possible answers; but they may help you or others to develop better explanations of the ideas on liberty that are the only effective displacement for the empty promises of socialism.

The more complex the society, the greater is the need for governmental control: that seems axiomatic. It is important to expose this plausible, and influential fallacy because it leads directly and logically to socialistic planning. This is how a member of the seminar team answered the oft-hear- Speaks Out d, college president: Let us take the simplest possible situation just you and I.

There appears to be a conspiracy to bring this country to a state of financial ruin, so those with a hammerlock on the basic sources of wealth oil. energy, food, transportation and gold, can survive with the rest of us minus our guns, maybe broke, hungry, crying for protection AT ANY PRICE (including our liberty) from hordes of criminals.
