Free the Browns

This website was created to give people one location to get accurate information on the progression of the legal cases against Edward and Elaine Brown of Plainfield New Hampshire and their fellow supporters Daniel Riley, Jason Gerhard, Cirino Gonzalez, and Robert Wolffe, as well as any pertinent information about the tax honesty movement as a whole.

For those of you who don’t know who Ed and Elaine Brown are, please let me explain. The Browns are currently serving 63 months in federal prison for doing one of the most patriotic things possible, asking the government to see the law that they were being accused of breaking. The law they were accused of violating was the personal income tax law and the Browns asked to see the law before they handed over any more money. Their quest for proof of the existence of such a law began over 10 years ago when they first found out the income tax was being misapplied to include taxing all Americans labor. Once the browns realized they, along with the rest of us, were being defrauded of our hard worked labor by the irs they decided to make a stand and challenge the government, not only for themselves, but for the rest of the people in this country, so that they also will be made aware of the terrible injustice being carried out on each of us every day.

Elaine brown (67 years old) was a dentist in West Lebanon N.H. for most of her life and Edward Brown (66 years old) was a retired exterminator. the Browns lived in Plainfield New Hampshire on an approximately 110 acre parcel of one of the most beautiful pieces of land in New England with some of the most amazing views of the rolling hills and mountains in the White Mountain state! They had spent the last several years building their, still unfinished, dream home. All of that changed when on October 4th of 2007 the federal government sent a band of undercover, drunken U.S. marshals onto the browns property posing as supporters and arrested the Browns. During the arrests the federal marshals electrocuted (with a taser gun) Elaine brown to ensure she would not stop them from arresting Ed. And the Browns have not seen each other once since that day.

Since that day, the browns have been incarcerated by the United States government at various prisons throughout the country. They have also recently been told to expect to be charged with new violations for supposed crimes that were committed during their “standoff” with authorities. New charges that could result in an additional 30-50 years jail time for each of them. Even though the browns continually asked to be shown the law making them, and us, liable for a tax on our labor, the government refused to do so. The browns even offered to pay the tax and go to jail if they WERE shown a law, Instead the browns were convicted of violating a penalty clause (as opposed to a liability clause) in a trial that should shame most Americans, and were found guilty (in absentia) by a jury that was un-informed due to the judges tyrannical like handling over the court room procedures.

We hope that by keeping the browns story alive and current that it will raise people’s awareness to the frightening deterioration of the constitutional form of government we once enjoyed and were proud of! We hope that when people learn the truth about the browns and their fight against the goliath called the CORPORATE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA that it will inspire more people to become civic-ly active and join the fight to restore our government back to what it is/was supposed to be.
