Letters to the Editor

Dear Verdict Editor,

For government to want to just "move on" and let bygones be bygones is like trying to drive on four flat tires. Running on rims is only going to continue the destruction of the Constitutional pavement which once made this country great and respected.

Judicial Watch persistence is the best hope of removing the puncturing influence, and applying some reverse gearing to this process of "above the lawmanship." Too many in both parties are stampeding government far beyond the Constitutional corral. They are the ones who authorize it. They are the ones who tolerate corruption on the grounds that "everyone does it." It is a case of "you stay out of my closet and I’ll stay out of yours."

It is part of the problem that seven of the existing fourteen Cabinet Posts are Departments claiming areas that were never authorized by the U.S. Constitution, thereby reserved to the States and the citizens. It has been a process that began with the creation of the Department of Agriculture in 1889, and progressed to areas such as labor, energy, human health and welfare, housing, transportation, plus a bunch of out of control independent agencies.

Unfortunately, corruption grows exponentially with the growth of government. Good and well-meaning politicians get sucked in. If people want to understand this, they will see the importance of getting behind Judicial Watch’s employment of the law as a weapon of revolution that can put the U.S. Constitution back in force, and give real meaning to swearing an oath to uphold it. This kind of law enforcement by the citizens is far preferable to the employment of the Second Amendment. Spreading a convincing word that this avenue exists is the biggest challenge facing all of us who support Judicial Watch.

Editor’s Response: We’re sure that Mr. Klopfenstein speaks for many of his fellow Judicial Watch supporters in this letter. Thank you for taking time to write and remind us once again about the basis for our non-partisan efforts to protect the Republic.

Editor,

In a nation in which opposition to the persecution of "political enemies" by the IRS (including victims of rape and sexual harassment) seems almost as unusual as opposition to "witch" burnings in colonial Massachusetts or opposition to the Holocaust in Nazi Germany, your stand against the IRS is refreshing and gives me a little hope for the future of this country.

Boyd Richardson

Response: Sadly, Mr. Richardson’s comments are true. The average American has little opportunity to stand up against the IRS and their abuses. Our clients in the past, and now Judicial Watch itself, have become the targets of vindictive, powerful forces within the IRS. Thanks to the support of J.W. donors, we are ready to standup for our rights in court against the IRS.
