Ed Brown says feds have no jurisdiction in New Hampshire
PLAINFIELD – "What are they trying to do, start a war?" Ed Brown said of the police presence near his Plainfield home yesterday. "What do they think we have in here, tanks?"
Brown, who maintains there is no law that requires average American citizens to pay a direct tax on their wages, spoke to a group of reporters from a second-floor window in his house after a veritable army of heavily armed police officers and federal agents left the area around his rural home without ever making contact with him.

In defending themselves against a
federal government they claim is
operating outside the
government's jurisdiction, Ed
and Elaine Brown have filed 42
motions in Concord, New
Hampshire's, US District Court
and had every one denied. The
couple then spent three days in
court last week listening to the
federal government try to build
an income tax case against them.
Dear Sheriff Prozzo:
As you may or may not know (some sheriffs don't), the sheriff is the highest law-enforcement authority in a county. It is the duty of the sheriff to uphold the Constitution and protect the citizens of that county from any and all forces threatening them, including federal agencies which have no authority or jurisdiction within the county. Without the sheriff's permission, federal agencies cannot arrest a citizen anywhere within the county. Yes, they often do it but they do it illegally every time they do it. A few sheriffs around the country have put federal agencies on notice to stay out of their counties. One, whose name I don't recall at the moment, told them he would not conduct background checks for purchasers of firearms. Though he approached it for the wrong reasons (he didn't want to bear the expense), he did learn in the process that the feds don't have jurisdiction within the external boundaries of the 50 states. The Supreme Court has so ruled in quite a number of cases.

The impending confrontation between New Hampshire tax-resister Ed Brown and local authorities is reaching a turning point, according to several sources. And at least one columnist is speculating that the coverage of the situation by mainstream media may be fomenting what he terms "a Waco-Style Massacre."
