          THE NATIONAL TAX REVOLT  - CHAPTER ONE

          NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN TO COME TO THE 
          AID OF THEIR COUNTRY!
          
          Do you remember this sentence from High School?  
          It was written by an anymous typist who merely 
          wanted to devise a clever sentence for the beginning 
          typing student.  But the words were significant and 
          they are in excellent call to every patriotic 
          American citizen who loves their country and who 
          also believes that THIS IS THE TIME FOR A BIG CHANGE
          in the way we govern ourselves.  
          
          EVEN PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON has recently stated that 
          he wants us to "RE-INVENT OUR GOVERNMENT."  These 
          are historic words and they are the most important 
          words ever uttered by an American President since 
          George Washington uttered similar words over 200 
          years ago.  Since that time the world has changed 
          enormously.  Presidents, Senators, Congressmen were 
          used to travel to Washington on horseback or in 
          horse-drawn wagons.  A small portion of their journey 
          might have been made in a boat, drawn by "asses" or 
          mules or even in a wagon drawn by mules or "asses".  
          Today, things have reversed themselves and it is the 
          'asses' who travel to Washington propelled into office 
          by people donating money to their 'assinine' campaigns.  
          But no matter what you call them, the people we send to 
          Washington are merely messengers bringing the supposed 
          'Will of the People' to a central meeting place where 
          they can turn this will of their constituents into law.
          
          Unfortunately, there is much to go wrong before this 
          theoretically democratic government can transform the 
          will of the ordinary voting public into public law.  
          Lobbyists are the number one enemy of good law.  Case 
          in point, the gun lobbyists, the oil lobbyists, the 
          Drug lobbyists.  It is obvious to most thinking people 
          that we should have tougher regulations regarding the 
          purchase of a hand-gun and yet, the gun lobbyists 
          stifle all laws regulating these purchases and as 
          a result thousands of innocent people die every day 
          in our cities.  It is obvious to most thinking and 
          voting people that there should be millions of electric 
          powered vehicles on the road today, more mass transit, 
          several viable alternatives to the gasoline powered 
          vehicles we are all forced to drive, and yet the oil 
          lobbyists prevent any legislation that might cost the 
          oil industry a few bucks.  
          
          It is obvious to most thinking people that we should 
          have cleaner air, quieter streets, safer streets, 
          drug free cities.  
          
          But these lobbyist, or 'LEGALIZED BRIBERY EXPERTS' 
          as I like to call them, prevent any real good laws 
          from being passed.  As a consequence, the 'Will of 
          the People' is no longer the driving force in American 
          Government.  
          
          President Clinton knows this and he also knows about 
          the terrible waste, fraud and abuse in our government.  
          But even the President of the United States is 
          powerless to make any real changes unless the people 
          of the United States are behind him in very real and 
          effective ways of being counted.  We have written 
          this publication to give you, the American People, 
          the most effective way to show your support for Real 
          Change in American Government.  We have put together 
          a Poltical Action Kit that everyone can use to make 
          it crystal clear to all Washington politicians that 
          a Real Change is underway and that they'd better 
          stand clear and stay out of the way of the changes 
          we want to make now and for all future generations 
          of Americans still to come.
          
          We don't want just cosmetic changes, however, 
          because we've had cosmetic changes for decades and 
          they've done no good.  We don't even want a change 
          in the people who represent us because one set of 
          burglars is indistinguishable from any other set 
          of burglars.  Either one will steal from you.  
          The end result of either party in office is always 
          the same, more decay in the cities, more injustice, 
          less freedom, a worsening economy.  We can't put up 
          with these worsening American conditions any longer 
          or we will soon be thrust into the same terrible 
          situation as any other third world nation.  The 
          burglars in Washington have already turned this 
          greatest of nations into the world's largest debtor 
          nation.  India has a fraction of the debt we now 
          have.  
          
          In fact, the combined debt of all the nations of 
          the world are about one percent the debt burden
          of the United States!  This is intolerable and 
          it is insupportable by future generations of 
          Americans because already the National debt 
          requires that every man, woman and child living 
          today would have to pay the government over $50,000 
          to the treasury in order to pay it off.  AND IT 
          GETS WORSE each second.  
          
          Despite recent Congressional approval of another 
          debt-reduction plan, the National Budget Deficit 
          still continues to grow at an uncontrollable rate.  
          The only thing the burglars did in Washington, 
          after years of debate and hard work, was to REDUCE 
          THE RATE AT WHICH IT WILL GROW.  They cut nothing!  
          They did nothing to reduce the deficit. They met 
          yet another crisis head-on and once again shirked 
          their responsibility.  They knew, then and they 
          know now that the only answer is a 'Cap' on 
          spending.  They know that's the only way to reduce 
          the deficit and yet they refuse to do it.  They 
          know that the only way to bring down a deficit in 
          a household budget is to reduce spending to a 
          level under the income.  They know that and yet 
          they refused to do exactly that.  Yet, they came 
          out with so many speeches about what a great job 
          they did.  Yet, they did nothing except to curb 
          their projected increases in spending a tiny bit!  
          
          Not enough to lower the burden of your children 
          and mine and their children who will have to work 
          until November OR December of every year just to 
          pay off the tremendous Deficit left by the Reagan, 
          Bush, and now the Clinton Administration.
          
          Surely, it is clear to all thinking and voting 
          American people that something far more drastic 
          has to be done to get this country back in control 
          of common sense!  But wasting your vote on one 
          burglar or another will always result in the same 
          thing, burglary.  And that is exactly what they 
          are doing to each one of us.  They are 
          systematically and with malice aforethought, 
          robbing the Treasury of every dime they can get 
          their hands on.  
          
          The recent 'Check cashing scheme' 
          in Washington is proof of their real passion
          & greed for money.  They don't have time to pay
          attention to the real wishes of the citizenry
          because they spend so much of it at social
          events and fund-raisers and at parties, trying
          to raise enough money for their next campaign.

          So, GOVERNMENT REALLY NEEDS YOUR HELP.  Any honest
          politician will admit that, and what better way
          to help them make up their minds, than by telling
          them your own mind?  There is no better way.

          They are supposed to represent the will of the 
          majority of people.  Surely the majority of American
          tax-payers would like their taxes to be reduced or
          eliminated entirely.  If only they could be assured
          that their government would have adequate funds to
          continue to do something to benefit society.  

          THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS PETITION WILL DO.  

          Please print it and sign it and send it in today!
          
         
          It will take the active participation of millions 
          of citizens to re-invent the government in any 
          meaningful way.  In truth, Bill Clinton is pleading 
          with us all to join him in making for some real 
          changes and the only real changes that will do us 
          any good is a change that will give the Average 
          American Taxpayer more power, more say, over where 
          his/her money is going.  This is the ONLY REAL 
          CHANGE THAT CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! 
         
          By taking away their credit card, us, we force them
          to live within their means.  Government spending will
          have to be cut significantly.  The manner in which
          they make these cuts can be altered and controlled
          by more of us signing more of these petitions.  

          What we need is MORE PARTICIPATION BY THE PEOPLE, 
          not less!  Please remember that, no matter what
          arguments they use to dissuade us.  We can never
          be hurt through more participation, only by less
          participation are we hurt as a nation.
