> 1. Call or Fax the White House and Congress regularly about your 
outrage.

Refuse to

> 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
> Bush camp (Artic Drilling, shameful tax breaks for the rich). There is a
> FREE number for contacting Senators and House members to express 
your
> opinions on the war: 1-800-839-5276. For contacting George W. Bush -
> White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Washington, DC 20500 
202-456-1111

> What Is War Tax Resistance?
> 
> It is impossible to conduct modern warfare without soldiers and 
weapons.
Bu> t
> 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.”
