Service (IRS) in connection with an alleged failure to file Federal
income tax returns for years 2001 through 2004.[2]
[edit] Injunction against SchulzOn August 9, 2007, the United States
District Court for the Northern District of New York issued an order
including an injunction permanently barring Schulz and his We the
People Foundation from (1) advising or instructing persons or entities
that they are not required to file federal tax returns or pay federal
taxes (see Tax protester arguments); (2) selling or furnishing any
materials purporting to enable individuals to discontinue or stop
withholding or paying federal taxes; (3) instructing, advising or
assisting anyone to stop withholding or stop paying federal employment
or income taxes; and (4) obstructing or advising anyone to obstruct
IRS examinations, collections, or other IRS proceedings.[3] The court
found that Schulz and the We the People Foundation were engaging in
illegal activity that was exposing individuals to criminal liability
in connection with federal income taxes. In February 2008, that
decision was affirmed by the United States Court of Appeals for the
Second Circuit. In its decision, the Court of Appeals stated:
The district court found that defendants' illegal activities were
harming individuals, who were exposing themselves to criminal
liability by following the defendants' ill-conceived instructions.
[ . . . ] Requiring defendants to provide the identity and contact
information of the recipients of the tax materials enables the
government to monitor the defendants' obligation under the injunction
to provide a copy of the district court's order to recipients of the
tax materials. Moreover, the district court found that the defendants'
illegal actions were harming the government [ . . . ] Requiring
defendants to provide the identity and contact information [ . . . ]
enables the government to monitor whether the recipients of
defendants' materials are violating the tax laws. Thus, we find no
abuse of discretion with respect to the district court's imposition of
the reporting requirements in Paragraph C of the injunction.[4]
[edit] Contempt proceedingOn April 7, 2008, the government filed a
motion in the United States District Court for the Northern District
of New York, asking the court to hold Robert L. Schulz and the We the
People Foundation in civil contempt of court for failure to comply
with the court order requiring Schulz to turn over, to the government,
the names and contact information of the individuals who had received
tax materials from the Foundation.[5] On April 28, 2008, the District
Court issued an order holding Schulz and the other defendants in
contempt of court, imposing fines of $2,000 per day[6] on Schulz, the
We the People Foundation, and the We the People Congress, effective
retroactively to April 28, 2008, if the defendants did not comply with
the court order by 4:00 p.m. on Monday, May 5, 2008.[7] At 3:55 pm on
May 5, 2008, Schulz filed a document with the court asserting that he
had turned the material over to the United States attorney's office
earlier that day.[8]
