GOOD NEWS!!
The response of the government to our opposition to their motion for an Order to Show Cause re Contempt has been to withdraw the motion. The hearing that was scheduled for September 2, 2009 is cancelled.
A win for the good guys!
On another note, we have just about completed the draft of the petititon for writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court. I have revised and tweaked it, including three entire re-writes and numerous revisions of those re-writes. While it may still be revised before we send it out for printing and filing, we are pretty content with its current contents.
The latest draft is on my website: http://jeffdickstein.com
We still need your support to continue the fight. Please consider making a donation and to those who have already, thank you so much.

CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE to Jeff Dickstein – attorney for Bill Benson
PLEASE DISTRIBUTE TO YOUR MAILING LIST
As we near completion of the petition for writ of cert in Bill’s case, we need to focus on the presentation of the issues to the people in order to gain political support and put pressure on the courts, congress and executive so the matter is heard and taken seriously.
I have previously suggested hiring a PR firm to assist. I would like you all to watch the following:
which dramatically shows the need to understand the importance of packaging the message.
We don’t have a lot of time. I’ve been working approximately 15 hours a day for the last three weeks to perfect the brief. My goal is to have the brief printed in the next couple of weeks so it can be circulated for a month before it is filed. Billboards, posters, magazine ads/articles, newspaper ads/articles, u-tube videos, etc., etc., all done with the type of packaging mentioned in the video is what is necessary if we are going to mobilize the people. The people need to let the government know we want the Bill Benson case heard in the Supreme Court.
We need some serious effort on your part to make this happen. The timing appears to be coming together as more and more Americans seem to be fed up with what is happening in Washington. We need to convince the people how much better their lives would be if 15-30 percent of their paycheck didn’t disappear every payday…our own economic stimulus package to replace the government’s wasteful stimulus package that puts the people in debt.
I know there are a lot of creative people out there; we need to use the creativity to raise the funds to take this to the people. It really is up to you to make it happen, and the Ron Paul campaign shows how much money can be raised in a single day when you direct your efforts to a common goal.
If the Benson case is lost, you have absolutely lost the First Amendment; the clampdown is right around the corner, I promise you. The Tax Defier Initiative is already in place, and the government, in U.S. v. Hirmer, a criminal case in Florida, is attempting to imprison the members of a first amendment organization who promoted Bill Benson’s arguments, as well as other issues. The indictment itself brands these people as “un-american.” (Reference to this is on the last page or two of Bill’s petition for writ of cert. The draft can be viewed here: http://jeffdickstein.com/supreme.aspx). I’ve raised the 16th amendment issue in the Hirmer case; like with Bill, the court has ignored it. http://jeffdickstein.com/hirmer.aspx.
I’m urging you to dig in, NOW. Its time for a revolution; we don’t need guns to pull it off. We need dedicated, sincere efforts, beyond anything we have done to date. We can do it. As Bill Benson says, “Together We Shall Win.” Please, Please set aside whatever differences you may have on legal theories, and join together to save our country.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey A. Dickstein

MILLER v. US, 422 U.S. 1025 (1975)
“The claim and exercise of a Constitutional right cannot be converted into a crime.â€
Louis D. Brandeis – U.S. Supreme Court Justice 1856 –1941
“Crime is contagious, if the government is the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for the law.â€
U.S. v. GUEST, 86 S.Ct. 1170
U.S. v. COMPAGNA, 146 F2d 534
“A conspirator is responsible for acts of other conspirators who have left the conspiracy before he joined it, or after he left it…â€
HOLT v. VIRGINIA, 381 U.S. 131 (1965)
Held: Petitioners were deprived of their rights under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment for doing no more than exercising the constitutional right of an accused and his counsel to defend against the contempt charges made against them.
(a) A defendant charged with contempt such as this has the constitutional right to be heard and to be represented by counsel, who also has a constitutional right to present his client’s case.
I hope this may be of some help.
I left a message on your phone with my phone number asking for some help. My case envolves the 1st, 4th, 6th, 7th Amendment and more.
Please call.
