The Traffic Citation Discovery Package for the non-lawyer. Fight the tickets!
Are you tired of unwarranted traffic infractions which come with exorbitant fines and insurance costs?
You can take advantage of some of the legal procedures available to you under the Rules of Civil
Procedure and by doing so place the burden of response upon the prosecution which is usually
disproportionate to any monetary gain it may make if the citation is successfully prosecuted.

NEWS: * US Rep. Ron Paul Speaks Out on the Floor on Phony "Money".
Last week US Representative Ron Paul denounced paper money and appeared as a guest on the Liberty Works Radio Network to support the cause of liberty.
Congressman denounces phony money
Paul takes on Greenspan's Fed in televised House floor speech
WASHINGTON -- Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, a member of the House Banking Committee, yesterday spoke out in a televised House floor speech on the deleterious effect of the U.S. fiat money system.
Paul said Federal Reserve Bank Chairman Alan Greenspan's solution to the dragging economy is to print more money, inflate currency faster and lower interest rates.
"But I don't think it's that simple," Paul said. "It is very clear that we have these cycles and these booms coming from a monetary system that is pure fiat. Fiat money means the money is created out of thin air and the characteristic of a fiat monetary system is that you have over-speculation, you have stock market booms, you have stock market crashes and you have a business cycle."
Paul said central planning concepts don't work in banking and monetary policy any more than they do in government.

* Global Tax Cops
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's (OECD) initiative for global tax cops is a blatant attempt by the New World Order crowd to reach across nation's borders, break down national sovereignty. OECD says their purpose for the global "network" of tax police is to stem "harmful tax competition" amongst nations.
Reading between the lines please note Dick Armey's statement...
"It is my understanding that career personnel are urging you [Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill] to support the Clinton administration viewpoint on the grounds that the OECD initiative is needed to reduce tax evasion. This is a red herring. A global network of tax police is the wrong approach. Instead, the U.S. should shift entirely to a territorial system, the common sense notion that countries only tax income that is earned within their borders and also eliminate the double taxation of income that is saved and invested."
Interesting to note here is what Dick Armey is referring to when he says, "...the U.S. should shift entirely to a territorial system..." Dear reader this is the only lawful system of taxation we have had since the founding of this country.
Dick Armey goes on to say, "...the common sense notion that countries only tax income that is earned within their borders..." The question is: Who is a country [in this case the US] required to tax by law when income is earned within the US? The answer is... the foreigner!
So what would be the purpose of Global Tax Police really be as being pushed for by OECD? The answer is to maintain control of and regulate the current worldwide fiat currency, the Federal Reserve Note.
'Global Tax Police' Under Scrutiny
CNSNews.com - Tuesday, March 20, 2001
House Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Texas, says Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development is trying to initiate a "global network of tax police" with an initiative that the organization believes will stop "harmful tax competition." Armey wrote to Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill requesting that he "re-evaluate" America's involvement in the initiative – which was supported by the Clinton administration.
"It is my understanding that career personnel are urging you to support the Clinton administration viewpoint on the grounds that the OECD initiative is needed to reduce tax evasion. This is a red herring. A global network of tax police is the wrong approach. Instead, the U.S. should shift entirely to a territorial system, the common sense notion that countries only tax income that is earned within their borders and also eliminate the double taxation of income that is saved and invested." Armey said in his letter to O'Neill.
"Bad economic policy is not the only reason to reject the OECD's initiative. Countries that are being persecuted for having attractive tax police will have little incentive to cooperate in the prosecution of drug dealers, terrorists and other international criminals. Indeed, the OECD proposal likely will cause an increase in crime since some people may seek illegal income from things like money laundering," Armey said.

INFORMATION: * A Powerful Parable for People, Not Just Pigs
The parable of "The Wild and Free Pigs of the Okefenokee Swamp" has an important message for those who feel that taking handouts from government is okay.
The Wild and Free Pigs of the Okefenokee Swamp
by Steve Washam based on a telling by George Gordon
Some years ago, about 1900, an old trapper from North Dakota hitched up some horses to his Studebaker wagon, packed a few possessions, especially his traps-and drove south.
Several weeks later he stopped in a small town just north of the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia. It was a Saturday morning-a lazy day-when he walked into the general store. Sitting around the pot-bellied stove were seven or eight of the town's local citizens. The traveler spoke, "Gentlemen, could you direct me to the Okefenokee Swamp?"
Some of the old-timers looked at him like he was crazy. "You must be a stranger in these parts," they said. "I am. I'm from North Dakota," said the stranger. "In the Okefenokee Swamp are thousands of wild hogs," one old man explained. "A man who goes into the swamp by himself asks to die!" He lifted up his leg. "I lost half my leg here, to the pigs of the swamp." Another old fellow said, "Look at the cuts on me; look at my arm bit off!"
"Those pigs have been free since the Revolution, eating snakes and rooting out roots and fending for themselves for over a hundred years. They're wild and they're dangerous. You can't trap them. No man dare go into the swamp by himself." Every man nodded his head in agreement.
The old trapper said, "Thank you so much for the warning. Now could you direct me to the swamp?" They said, "Well, yeah, it's due south-straight down the road." But they begged the stranger not to go, because they knew he'd meet a terrible fate. He said, "Sell me ten sacks of corn, and help me load them into the wagon." And they did.
Then the old trapper bid them farewell and drove on down the road. The townsfolk thought they'd never see him again. Two weeks later the man came back. He pulled up to the general store, got down off the wagon, walked in and bought ten more sacks of corn. After loading it up he went back down the road toward the swamp.
Two weeks later he returned and, again, bought ten sacks of corn. This went on for a month. And then two months, and three. Every week or two the old trapper would come into town on a Saturday morning, load up ten sacks of corn and drive off south into the swamp.
The stranger soon became a legend in the little village and the subject of much speculation. People wondered what kind of devil had possessed this man, that he could go into the Okefenokee by himself and not be consumed by the wild and free hogs. One morning the man came into town as usual. Everyone thought he wanted more corn. He got off the wagon and went into the store where the usual group of men were gathered around the stove. He took off his gloves. "Gentlemen," he said, "I need to hire about ten or fifteen wagons. I need twenty or thirty men. I have six thousand hogs out in the swamp, penned up, and they're all hungry. I've got to get them to market right away."
"You've WHAT in the swamp?" asked the storekeeper, incredulously.
"I have six thousand hogs penned up. They haven't eaten for two or three days, and they'll starve if I don't get back there to feed and take care of them." One of the old-timers said, "You mean you've captured the wild hogs of the Okefenokee?"
"That's right."
"How did you do that? What did you do?" the men urged, breathlessly. One of them exclaimed, "But I lost my arm!" "I lost my brother!" cried another. "I lost my leg to those wild boars!" chimed a third.
The trapper said, "Well, the first week I went in there they were wild all right. They hid in the undergrowth and wouldn't come out. I dared not get off the wagon. So I spread corn along behind the wagon. Every day I'd spread a sack of corn."The old pigs would have nothing to do with it. But the younger pigs decided that it was easier to eat free corn than it was to root out roots and catch snakes. So the very young began to eat the corn first.
"I did this every day. Pretty soon, even the old pigs decided that it was easier to eat free corn, after all, they were all free; they were not penned up. They could run off in any direction they wanted at any time. "The next thing was to get them used to eating in the same place all the time. So, I selected a clearing, and I started putting the corn in the clearing." At first they wouldn't come to the clearing. It was too far. It was too open. It was a nuisance to them.
"But the very young decided that it was easier to take the corn in the clearing than it was to root out roots and catch their own snakes. And not long thereafter, the older pigs also decided that it was easier to come to the clearing every day. "And so the pigs learned to come to the clearing every day to get their free corn. They could still subsidize their diet with roots and snakes and whatever else they wanted. After all, they were all free. They could run in any direction at any time. There were no bounds upon them.
"The next step was to get them used to fence posts. So I put fence posts all the way around the clearing. I put them in the underbrush so that they wouldn't get suspicious or upset, after all, they were just sticks sticking up out of the ground, like the trees and the brush. The corn was there every day. It was easy to walk in between the posts, get the corn, and walk back out. "This went on for a week or two. Shortly they became very used to walking into the clearing, getting the free corn, and walking back out through the fence posts.
"The next step was to put one rail down at the bottom. I also left a few openings, so that the older, fatter pigs could walk through the openings and the younger pigs could easily jump over just one rail, after all, it was no real threat to their freedom or independence-they could always jump over the rail and flee in any direction at any time.
"Now I decided that I wouldn't feed them every day. I began to feed them every other day. On the days I didn't feed them, the pigs still gathered in the clearing. They squealed, and they grunted, and they begged and pleaded with me to feed them-but I only fed them every other day. Then I put a second rail around the posts. "Now the pigs became more and more desperate for food. Because now they were no longer used to going out and digging their own roots and finding their own food, they now needed me. They needed my corn every other day." "So I trained them that I would feed them every day if they came in through a gate and I put up a third rail around the fence. "But it was still no great threat to their freedom, because there were several gates and they could run in and out at will.
"Finally I put up the fourth rail. Then I closed all the gates but one, and I fed them very, very well." "Yesterday I closed the last gate and today I need you to help me take these pigs to market."
The price of free corn. The parable of the pigs has a serious moral lesson. This story is about federal money being used to bait, trap and enslave a once free and independent people. Federal welfare, in its myriad forms, has reduced not only individuals to a state of dependency; state and local governments are also on the fast track to elimination, due to their functions being subverted by the command and control structures of federal "revenue sharing" programs.
Please copy this parable and send it to all of your state and local elected leaders and other concerned citizens.
Tell them: "Just say NO to federal corn." The bacon you save may be your own.

" A hand from Washington will be stretched out and placed upon every man's business; the eye of the federal inspector will be in every man's
counting house....The law will of necessity have inquisical features, it will provide penalties, it will create complicated machinery. Under it, men will be hauled into courts distant from their homes. Heavy fines imposed by distant and unfamiliar tribunals will constantly menace the taxpayer. An army of federal inspectors, spies, and detectives will descend upon the state." --- Virginia House Speaker Richard E. Byrd, 1910, predicting what would happen if a federal income tax became law.
