30 January 1996 Dear Friends & Fellow Americans, I had to write the attached letter to Ted Koppel. I had no choice I I had no choice for two reasons; reason number one: It was a golden op- portunity to vent my frustration in my ongoing battle with the IRS, and the denial of "due process of law" by our courts, both state and federal; and reason number two: It was also another golden opportunity to explain to my many friends, that although you haven't heard from me for a long, long time, it's not because I've forgotten about you. You're in my thoughts all the time. The reason is because -I spend most of my waking hours fighting the corrupt IRS and the equally corrupt courts. Believe me, when I say corrupt, that's no exaggeration! When you finish reading the attached letter to Ted Koppel, I'm sure you'll understand what I mean, and why out of necessity it had to be long. Please forgive me for its length. It had to be in order to get across all my points.
