16th AMENDMENT - BILL BENSON LITIGATION

The Government has sued Bill Benson seeking an injunction prohibiting him from “falsely” telling people the 16th Amendment to the United States Constitution was not ratified and therefore they are not required to file an income tax return.

The 16th Amendment - Bill Benson litigation is critically important for two reasons. First, the court has decided Bill Benson is to be precluded from proving his statements are true. Second, and perhaps more sinister, is the government’s efforts to destroy the First Amendment protection of freedom of speech.

The issue of taxation is a political question. We, as Americans, supposedly have an inalienable right to the free debate of these issues without government interference. We supposedly have the right to require the government to prove its allegations against us in Court. We supposedly have the right, when charged with a crime, to present a defense.

Bill Benson is being represented by attorney Jeffrey A. Dickstein in this historic litigation. All of the pleadings in the case may be viewed on Jeff’s website: http://jeffdickstein.com. Read for yourself the facts showing the 16th Amendment was not ratified, and the government’s effort to prevent the truth from being presented in the courtroom.
