Darn, I was hoping for more from it. Oh well, mine is on order from LRG, if they ever get around to shipping it. They advertised another DVD called "How to dig up Dirt on Anyone" or something like that about how to use the PRA and other methods. Here's the link:

An update on my FTB situation: Another 5 page letter arguing against every tax protestor argument in the world showed up again today. The only difference I saw is that the name, Leslie R, has been removed. Now, there are truly no names on it anymore.
I'm thinking of sending it back, and putting them on notice that they've now violated the FDCPA twice in their continuing efforts to collect even though they haven't provided certified verification of the alleged debt.
In this letter, they deceptively put in a word about a case called Lonsdale vs Commissioner. They sum it up by saying that all forms of compensation are considered taxable income. True to form, they screwed it up (probably intentionally), as that case was an argument against the 'wages are not income' argument, and don't address the fact that the person must be engaged in a taxable activity (hence the reason it is an EXCISE tax).
They also slyly state that "No contract between you and this department is required for the administration of the personal income tax laws". We no DUH! They can administer their laws all they want. But a contract IS required when they want to deal with ME!
They carefully put the word individual in quotes in one section. Covering their rear end?
Then they prattle on and on about section 861, sovereigns, etc. They even do mention later that tax liability is dependent on contracts, etc.
They then get to the point by saying that my "contentions" are the same as those before. All I asked was for them to follow the FDCPA and provide certified verification. They claim that I must rebut their assessment. Guilty until proven innocent. They haven't rebutted a single affidavit I've sent.
They did slightly amend it at the end and included a statement that, until a 1999 tax return is filed, that their assessment is corrrect and penalties will apply.
They then urge me to seek an attorney licensed by the state BAR (wow, I'll bet they'd really help), and not to depend on evil tax 'resistor' groups.
Well, no name on it this time. They are hiding behind anonymity.
This gets refused for cause without dishonor here soon, along with a long list of how they defaulted last year on proving that I had a liability to file. They've also defaulted this year by not provided certified verification of the alleged debt and are in violation of the FDCPA. I'll remind them that this makes twice now that they've continued to try to collect after Default and note that the law allows for $1000 max per violation.
I'll also send along a PRA request for several items, which will increase what they owe when they refuse to respond.
I notice that this is supposed in answer to something I sent in July. Either they are as slow as molasses, or they treat my file like a hot potato and just pass it on.
This ride is coming to an end soon. I'm studying up on lawsuits sans a lawyer. Maybe a nuisance suit will get them to leave me alone, since the matter is already settled through their continued default.
Comments?
