Welcome to the story of Richard Michael "Dick" Simkanin, American Patriot and Hero. This is the story of one man who read the law, read the founding controlling documents of American Organic law, ie., the Declaration Of Independance and the Constitution.

Many folks have kept in contact with Dick these past 4 years after his conviction and we are very appreciative for your support.

He is in a minimum security prison in East Texas near Texarkana. He is teaching other inmates how to read in addition to math and science in the inmate GED program. He is also in the chess club whereby he trys to keep his mind sharp.

He also spends considerable amounts of time studying the bible.

His spirits are high but he is in prison for 7 years solely for the fact that he found no legal duty for he and his company to be forced to withhold taxes from a workers paycheck.

Dick Simkanin stood up for America, for all American workers and for all American Business owners when he decided in 2000 that his company was no longer going to participate in the withholding racquet alledged forced and demanded by law from Congress. Dick had spent 6 years researching American history and foundational principles. Ultimately he was spiritually convicted that he had no business being an unpaid bookkeeper for the Federal government, therefore, he had to give his workers 100% of their pay. How American of him! Thank God for Dicks' courage as it has cost him everything.

Ultimately, Dick was indicted after the government tried three times to no avail. A Grand Jury indicted him in June 2003, he was arrested and the criminal legal battle was on!

We have also been following the case of Dick Simkanin, the owner of Arrow Custom Plastics located in Bedford, Texas, who, in 2000 stopped withholding income related taxes from the paychecks of his employees after receiving no answers from the IRS and his elected representatives to his questions about any law that required him to withhold.

Neither the 2001, nor the 2002 grand juries would indict Simkanin for failure to withhold and turn over the tax. However, after the DOJ prevented Simkanin from appearing before the 2003 grand jury, this grand jury indicted him.

Following a hearing before a Magistrate Judge, Simkanin was released, without bail, on his own recognizance.

Days later, federal district court Judge John McBryde, accepting hearsay over direct evidence, ruled that Simkanin was a flight risk and a threat to society. Judge McBryde overruled the Magistrate Judge, ordering Simkanin jailed pending his trial which is currently scheduled for October 6th. Mr. Simkanin has been a federal prisoner for eleven weeks.

Simkanin’s defense rested on the fact that he has committed no crime, that there is no law that required him to withhold.

We believe this is a very courageous move by Simkanin. We believe he should have beeb acquitted. However, Dick Simkanin wanted the jury to reach the question of his guilt or innocence based on the material question of fact – is there a U.S. law that requires employers to withhold?
