We the People Foundation for Constitutional Education, Inc., and We the
People Congress, Inc., will be holding our first yearly conventions. As the
individual doing the planning for this huge event, I can tell you that as
of this date, the following speakers are confirmed:
Hutton Gibson, father of Oscar winning director and actor, Mel Gibson
Joseph Sobran
Delegate Don Dwyer, serves in the Maryland State Legislature
Councilman Normal Council, Landsdowne PA City Council
Joseph Banister
Sherry Jackson
Lynda Wall
John Turner
Dr. Edwin Vieira [tentative as he has a trial in mid-Jan]
I speak with so many of you over the years or exchange e-mail, yet I never get
to meet you. I hope you will be able to make the convention and enjoy this
wonderful event and even say hi to each other!
Be sure to make your reservation right away as we only have 40 rooms held at
the $99.00 discount rate. Also, the first two rows only, are reserved, center section
seating in the amphitheater. There are only 25 tickets. This guarantees you will
sit in those two front rows for all three days.
I deliberately chose the Crystal City Forum Amphitheater instead of just a room
with tables and chairs. The seating is fabulous; each comfortable seat has it's own
little table for coffee and we will have the giant screen on stage so everyone will be
able to see just fine. Much more comfortable than metal chairs.
The private reception will give you the opportunity to meet our distinguished speakers.
The Celebrated String Quartet will play during the reception; hors d'oeuvres and bar
will be provided.
The banquet will offer either a beef or chicken dish from the Marriott's very accomplished
chef. This is also limited seating: 250. The Celebrated String Quartet will also entertain
us until our keynote speaker hits the podium.

Give Me
Liberty 2004: Conference Registration Opens
Register On-Line Now or by Mail
High-Profile Speakers Invited to Lead Historic Dialogue
We are pleased to open
formal registration for “Give Me Liberty
2004”, the first annual
conference sponsored by the WTP organization. The three-day
conference will be held
January 22-24 in Arlington, Virginia, just outside Washington, DC.
The central theme of the
conference is “The Right to Petition: Re-discovering the ‘capstone’
Right and using it to reclaim our Freedom and restore Constitutional
Order.” The primary
conference structure will feature six, 2-3 hour panel discussions
covering the history, nature
and contemporary application of the long-forgotten Right to Petition
for Redress of Grievances.
Please see the main GML 2004 conference information page to
register, and to access the
preliminary agenda and other conference/hotel information. You
can register either on-line
or by mail.
The opening conference
panel will be an overview of the history, evolution and power of the
Right to Petition and the class-action lawsuit being brought to enforce this
recently “re-discovered”
unalienable Right.
The subsequent panels cover the subject matters of the formal WTP Petitions for Redress,
including the Iraq Resolution, the Federal Reserve, the USA Patriot Act
and the federal
income tax. The final panel on Saturday investigates the role of the
media in relationship
to the Petitioning process and addresses a spectrum of constitutional
abuses that could
exercise the Right to Petition to secure remedies.
The preliminary agenda
includes a number of nationally renowned public figures that have
been invited to lead the conference including: Judge Roy Moore (former
Alabama Supreme Court Justice), syndicated columnist Dr. Walter
Williams, former Presidential candidate Dr. Alan Keyes, Joseph Farah
(publisher, WorldNetDaily.com), national columnists Joseph Sobran and
Charlie Reece, Jacob Hornberger (founder, The Future of Freedom
Foundation) and author G. Edward Griffin (Creature From Jekyll Island).
Other nationally notable
individuals including attorneys, law professors, authors and
several individuals representing opposing viewpoints are also slated to
bring voice to
the proceeding’s historic dialogue. Among those invited are Washington
attorney
Mark Lane (lead counsel for the WTP Right to Petition lawsuit), author
and activist
Catherine Austin Fitts, Rep. Ron Paul (TX), Rep. Henry Hyde (IL) and
subject matter
experts & advocates such as former IRS Agents Joe Banister (CID
Special Agent and
CPA), Sherry Jackson (CPA, Certified Fraud Examiner) and John Turner
(former Revenue Officer).
Hutton Gibson, the conservative father of world-renowned actor,
director and producer Mel Gibson,
will address the convention. Discussions have been initiated with
Mel Gibson to speak at the
convention along with his father. Potential schedule additions
and details will be posted as they
become available.
Please see the agenda for more schedule details and a more complete speaker list.
As promised, we also will
conduct a workshop where workers, businesses and the self-employed
will learn how to legally terminate all income related tax
withholding. This session will be run by
former IRS Office of Counsel Attorney Paul Chappell and paralegal Lynda
Wall.
Please see the registration page
for more details about the conference packages available.
