Dear readers, I have sent the following letter to a local newspaper. I have placed it on Facebook and the NYTimes Facebook page. I will put it up on Substack when I am done here. I suggest we all do this and substitute the name of our state of residence for that of my state of residence. I suggest we do this right away.

I wish us all the success in the world, as well as help to the People of our various states!

Subject: Federal Taxes to the State of Oregon

Dear State residents,

The current US administration has elected to sequester funds that only Congress is slated to receive and appropriate, per the US Constitution. Indeed, they have decided to sequester most activities to the Executive Branch that once were the purvue of Congress. We can perform a Civil Disobedience action by sending our federal tax dollars directly to the State of Oregon for the stated purpose of Civil Disobedience, but also to help the People of the State of Oregon in these difficult times. I strongly suggest we do this not only this year, but every year the current administration is sequestering financial and political activities to the Executive Branch, in unlawful opposition to the US Constitution and its requirements for Congress. Write to the State of Oregon Tax offices to indicate your intention to do this, and send your monies at the time you see fit. https://www.oregon.gov/dor/pages/index.aspx I suggest using the Personal Income Tax link for your original comments and when you send in your federal tax monies to the State of Oregon.
