Rick,
I would like to offer a suggestion for a guest for your show.
I just listened to the regular Saturday morning radio show on Liberty Works Radio Network hosted by former IRS-CID Special Agent Joe Banister.
Joe’s guest this morning was Sherry Peel Jackson. Sherry is a native of Detroit, now living in Atlanta with her family. She is a committed Christian woman. She was a high school and college athlete, and majored in accounting in college. After working in public accounting, she joined the IRS and worked as an IRS agent for seven years. Feeling that her IRS work (including some covert assignments) were adversely affecting her family life, she resigned from the IRS to open her own small tax and accounting practice.
Through her tax clients she began hearing of problems with the legal status of the income tax system as it is enforced by the IRS. She learned of a reward of $50,000 offered to anyone who could find the law that requires most American citizens to file income tax returns and pay income taxes. She conducted an extensive investigation, including inquiries to her contacts at the IRS, but she was unable to find the law in question. Accordingly, she stopped filing income tax returns.
She stated in her interview that she was directed by God to spread the word of her discovery concerning the income tax.
Eventually she was prosecuted by the IRS for income tax evasion. The charges were later reduced to “failure to file” and she was convicted on four misdemeanor charges relating to her unfiled income tax returns for the years 2000 to 2003. She was not allowed to introduce much of her evidence by a corrupt judge. While misdemeanor convictions normally result in short prison terms, if any, she was sentence to four years in federal prison. She was hauled away from the court, in front of her husband and children, in shackles and chains. She said that a comment made by the judge made it clear that she was being persecuted for exercising her First Amendment rights.
I won’t go into more detail here, but the story of her experiences in prison, how she dealt with the personal tests she encountered (including severe health issues that could have resulted in her death in prison), and the work she has done following release from prison, are fascinating and inspiring. Her latest projects are “Wake the People International Ministry” and “Titus 2 International Women’s Ministry”.

Thanks for the work you do in serving God.
