>responsible for, as well as demanding accountability for the wrongs being 
>done to US citizens and foreign nationals and visitors in the name of 
>Homeland Security and the many other outrageous changes promoted by the

>As a US-led invasion of Iraq begins, we, the undersigned citizens of many

>
>By joining together across countries and continents, we have emerged as a

>Stop Paying For War!
>
>What Is War Tax Resistance?
>
>It is impossible to conduct modern warfare without soldiers and weapons. 
>But before governments can buy weapons and hire soldiers, they must first 
>raise the necessary money through taxes or borrowing. War tax resistance 
>is refusing to pay some or all of those federal taxes that contribute to 
>military spending.
>
>Because there is no tax that goes only to the military, war taxes 
>generally mean individual federal income taxes and as well as some excise 
>taxes (e.g., the 3% federal excise tax on telephone service). Though a 
>case can be made to include Social Security, state, and local taxes, these 
>are generally not considered “war taxes.”
>
>“The two decisive powers of the government with respect to war are the 
>power to conscript and the power to tax.”

>1. I live in Los Angeles where it is widely known, and officially 
>acknowledged, that the police routinely plant evidence like weapons and 
>drugs on arrested suspects. Am I wrong to suspect the same thing might 
>happen in Iraq? The Pentagon public relations machinery is prioritizing 
>the search for chemical and biological weapons in order to prove the case 
>they failed to make at the United Nations before the war. So it is urgent 
>to call for the media to ask more critical questions now and when the 
>"discovery" is announced. Here is some background:
