To Whom It May Concern:
Attached please find my federal tax return for 2006. You will note that there is no check enclosed. I can no longer in conscience voluntarily pay federal income tax, knowing that half of every nickel paid goes toward supporting war.
My completed form 1040 for 2006 is enclosed. As an alternative to paying federal income tax, I am contributing the amount indicated as tax due ($265.00) to the Oregon Food Bank. By helping people meet basic food needs, the Food Bank helps address a significant domestic need that is inadequately addressed in the federal budget because so much money is being wasted on an immoral and unjust war.
I pray that policies will change soon, so that I am able to pay future federal taxes with pride.
Yours truly,
Frances Elizabeth Lamb
