UPDATES:
- Lexington Massachusetts Conference

More good news for procrastinators. Once again, we have had to extend the pre registration discount deadline for the
Lexington Massachusetts Conference out two more weeks. Last months mailing to Save-A-Patriot Fellowship members neglected to announce the conference. The oversight did allow us some time to prepare an article that lays out the importance of the event, which we combined with the announcement. We shared this article in the previous issue of The Tax Freedom 101 Report. To read the article, The Tax Movement's Spiritual Equation please click here.

Here is a brief outline on what two of the guest speakers will be covering at the upcoming conference. Our members in the New England area are reaching out to Pastors and church leaders so they can become informed on these vital subjects.



Pastor Garrett Lear
Peter Kershaw
1. Political sermons of the founding era
2. Right or righteous, which are you?
3. Who should support the cause?
4. Fellowship, friendship, or co-belligerence
5. The mission statement and greater authority for it
1. The Unlicensed Clergy: America's True Founding Fathers
2. WWJ, Inc. (What Would Jesus Incorporate?)
3. And With That 501c3 We'll Even Include a Free Muzzle

On Saturday August 2nd, Pastor Garrett Lear will be the special guest on American Radio. In May of this year Peter Kershaw, author of In Caesar's Grip, was a guest on American Radio. Peter addresses how churches have converted themselves into "corporate religious institutions". If you would like to listen to this archived show please click here. [Real Audio]

NEWS:
- Class-Action Lawsuit by WTPF
[Taxpayer and non taxpayer news]
Expanding their reach to the 'hallowed-halls' of justice, the We The People Foundation is going forward with a class-action lawsuit. There is but one branch of government left to press, and that is the judiciary. Will justice be served, or will justices be shown to be the political animals and tools of the establishment that they are? The politburo [a.k.a the Democratic/Republican Socialist Debating Society] benefits equally by plundering the bourgeois, so don't expect either party to throw political support behind the class-action suit. Even though they're effectively the ones that put the WTPF action in motion by not hearing their formal redress-of-grievances.

So the WTPF will 'test the attitude' of the Supreme Court alone with their class-action lawsuit which seeks a 'declaration of Rights' and 'injunctive relief' to have their grievances properly heard and addressed. The WTPF can expect to have a decision from the court in about 5 to 10 years, after tens-of-thousands of monopoly dollars are spent. During that time, don't expect the in-justices of ill-enforced tax collection to stop.

Can the tax honesty movement really afford the cost associated with such a measure, and the wait for that matter?


- Middle Class Get Ready [Taxpayer News]
Any attempts by Taxpayers to
avoid taxes [notice we did not say evade, and of course that would have to mean the tax actually applied to a specific person by law from the word go], are slowly seeing their loop-holes closed. The government is getting hungry. But, if you prefer to live as the wealthy Taxpayers do, just find out what the Congressional representatives [lawyers] are doing now to avoid paying too much. They usually run ahead of the curve by about 5 to 10 years. There has to be some new loop-holes out there somewhere for in-the-know Taxpayers. The following holes are being sown shut.

Excerpt from article 'Tax for wealthy seen as hitting middle class':

      "The tax, called the alternative minimum tax, started in 1970 after legislators found that some high-income households had used tax shelters to avoid paying any income taxes. It now imposes a complex accounting requirement on many taxpayers, forcing some to compute taxes twice, once under standard procedures and again under the alternative minimum tax." - Associated Press [emphasis added]
Tax for wealthy seen as hitting middle class
By Mary Dalrymple, Associated Press, 7/15/2003
- Full Story here.

Excerpt from the Dept. of Treasury press release:

      "In recent years, the sale of life insurance and annuity contracts "wrapped" around other investments has proliferated. These arrangements seek to defer tax on the investment earnings of those contracts. The Treasury Department believes that these life insurance contracts and annuity contracts are purchased primarily as a way to avoid current taxation on investment earnings and not for life insurance protection or a means of saving for retirement." - Department of Treasury [emphasis added]
TF101 Comment: Other certain annuities have become very popular for those utilizing irrevocable trusts. Very wealthy and in-the-know aging citizens who would rather not have to pay the enormous costs associated with nursing home stays structure their financial affairs so they can later waltz into a nursing home and qualify for Medicaid [the welfare program]. This 'entitlement' program pays for all associated costs of a nursing home stay. The client avoids all the requirements of a nursing home stay 'spend down' under the program rules, and immediately qualifies for Medicaid benefits. They may look like paupers on paper, but that is hardly the case. The citizen retains and enjoys all their property held in the hands of trusted asset management companies, as they place the burden of paying for nursing home costs on the backs of their fellow Taxpayers. Of course Congress did promise to take care of them in their old age, and boy have they ever. That is if you were still somewhat close to the top of the ponzi-scheme pyramid and knew what to do.

- Some Taxpayers Work for Government Nearly Half of a Calendar Year [Taxpayer News]
Depending in what locale [state, county, town] you reside, the economic swings of the economy, and how much you make depends on if you are paying more than half of your earnings to service government and its workers. A good reference to understand this information can be found
here at the Tax Foundation web site. Calculations presented on the site only count income taxes, and does not include the myriad of fees, licenses, fines, and sales taxes which also contribute to the overall take by government.

Also, please remember that the real tax freedom day for non taxpayers starts months earlier when they learn the truth behind the income tax, and assert their rights as citizens.

INFORMATION:
- The Suggested Pledge of Allegiance

If you have been listening to the
Save-A-Patriot Fellowship's Saturday night meetings lately you may have noticed that the Pledge of Allegiance is being recited a little differently. Some key words have been replaced with more significant and meaningful ones. Here is how the fellowship has been reciting the pledge of late:

      I Pledge Allegiance to the Constitution of the American States united, and to the Republic which it created, implementing God's governmental plan for man, and asking His blessing for its observance, which will provide Liberty and Justice for all. [emphasis added]
As you read, you will notice the first word missing from the recognized Pledge is the word 'flag' [a symbol and signaling device]. The symbolism of the flag is replaced with the substance that it represents - our country under the rule-of-law, the Constitution.

Next, changing the phrase 'the united States of America' with the more appropriate description of the organization of our country, and recognition of initial State sovereignty - 'the American States united' which formed or created our Constitutional Republic.

Further on we see 'for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible...' being placed with the phrase 'implementing God's governmental plan for man, and asking His blessing for its observance'. What is God's governmental plan for man? This is a lesson we all need to learn better, and a detailed explanation can be found in John Kotmair's new book Piercing the Illusion, and yes of course, the Bible. Arguably we're hardly one Nation under God, but rather have become a pluralistic Nation under many gods.

Then the words 'which will provide Liberty and Justice for all' replaces the phrase 'with Liberty and Justice for all.' We should all understand why there will be little 'Liberty and Justice for all' for a country who turns its back on the One true God, and his laws.

Basic History of the Pledge of Allegiance
More available at
The American Legion web site

The original Pledge of Allegiance was written by Francis Bellamy. It was first given wide publicity through the official program of the National Public Schools Celebration of Columbus Day which was printed in The Youth's Companion of September 8, 1892, and at the same time sent out in leaflet form to schools throughout the country. School children first recited the Pledge of Allegiance this way:

"I pledge allegiance to my Flag and to the Republic for which it stands one Nation indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all."

"The flag of the United States" replaced the words "my Flag" in 1923 because some foreign-born people might have in mind the flag of the country of their birth instead of the United States flag. A year later, "of America" was added after "United States."

No form of the Pledge received official recognition by Congress until June 22, 1942, when the Pledge was formally included in the U.S. Flag Code. The official name of The Pledge of Allegiance was adopted in 1945. The last change in language came on Flag Day 1954, when Congress passed a law, which added the words "under God" after "one nation."

Originally, the pledge was said with the right hand in the so-called "Bellamy Salute," with the right hand resting first outward from the chest, then the arm extending out from the body. Once Hitler came to power in Europe, some Americans were concerned that this position of the arm and hand resembled the Nazi or Fascist salute. In 1942 Congress also established the current practice of rendering the pledge with the right hand over the heart.

The Flag Code specifies that any future changes to the pledge would have to be with the consent of the President.
