John Marshall was appointed Chief Justice for the U.S. Supreme Court
by President John Adams and held that position for 34 years. He also fought
in the Revolutionary War, was a U.S. Congressman and was Secretary of
State. Clearly he knew much about government. He said, "The power
to tax is the power to destroy." Very true, which is why we need
to let our government officials know we're watching and we care.
The organizations below provide excellent information about current tax
issues and how to get involved.
