Attention Hugh Gilmore
FOIA officer
Department of Treasury
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 5 US 552 IN REGARDS TO ANY AND ALL DOCUMENTATION SHOWING LEGAL BASIS UNDER WHICH US GOVERNMENT AND DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY IS TAKING FUNDS FROM CIVIL SERVICE RETIREMENT AND DISABILITY FUND (CSRDF) IN ORDER TO PAY FOR THE LAVISH SPENDING OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT
REQUEST FOR ANY AND ALL INFORMATION SHOWING WHETHER US GOVERNMENT AND US CONGRESS CAN TAKE UPON THEMSELVES ANY NEW FISCAL OBLIGATIONS, OR APPROVE FUNDING FOR ANY NEW OBLIGATIONS SUCH AS ACA (OBAMACARE) WITH ESTIMATED COST OF 1.7 TRILLION WITHIN 10 YEARS AND IMMIGRATION REFORM, ESTIMATED TO COST BILLIONS IN WELFARE BENEFITS FOR NEWLY LEGALIZED ILLEGALS, WHEN THE GOVERNMENT IS USING “EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES” AND TAKING MONEY FROM THE RETIREMENT AND DISABILITY FUNDS TO COVER EXCESSIVE SPENDING.
Dear Mr. Gilmore,
- I still did not receive a response to my prior FOIA requests of August 1 and August 14 in regards to the National Debt being kept artificially at the same level from May 17th. I would like to remind you that a response is due within 20 business days, after which time I will be entitled to legal redress and attorney’s fees.
- I am attaching herein letters from the Secretary of Treasury to Speaker of the House John Boehner dated May 17, 2013 and August 26, 2013 with attachments to such letters and August 23, 2013 report of National debt, being at the same level as it was on May 17, 2013.
- In his May 17 and August 26 letters Secretary of Treasury Lew is stating that he is resorting to “extraordinary measures” and taking billions of dollars from the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund (CSRDF). As such I am requesting any and all documentation showing A SPECIFIC STATUTE WITHIN THE U.S. CODE THAT ALLOWS US GOVERNMENT TO TAKE MONEY FROM THE ACCOUNTS OF FEDERAL EMPLOYEES AND RETIREES IN ORDER TO PAY FOR LAVISH SPENDING OF THE US GOVERNMENT. The letter from Secretary Lew only states that it was done before, however it does not show any legal basis under which it is done and why it is being done instead of cutting exorbitant spending. If someone stole before, it does not give others the right to steal again. The fact that moneys were taken from retirement funds before does not constitute a legal basis for doing it.
- Secretary Lew states that suspension of issuance of the US securities and taking monies from the federal employees’ retirement and disability accounts will continue until October 1, 2013. It is the understanding of the US citizens at large that during such extraordinary measures the US government will not authorize any new obligations and expenditures, as it is in “extraordinary mode”, as such there will be no passing or funding of any new obligations such as ACA (Obamacare) which is estimated to lead to 1.7 trillion in additional spending and new immigration bill which is estimated to cost the taxpayers billions in additional spending for the welfare for millions of newly legalized poor individuals. I am requesting any and all documentation showing whether the US Government and US Congress can authorize any new programs and expenditures, when they are in “extraordinary” mode and taking monies of out the funds of retirees.
- I am requesting any and all documentation showing how much the US government has taken from the accounts of the retirees and individuals on disability and other stand alone accounts in order to create an impression that the US government did not reach the debt ceiling.
- What was the total deficit of the US government incurred from May 17-August 26, which necessitated such taking of funds from the retirement accounts?
- Any and all documentation explaining in what instances the government can take funds from the retirement accounts versus cutting specific spending. For example, it was reported that recent trip to Africa by Mr. Obama, his wife, his daughter, his mother in law, his enormous entourage and enormous security detail for his enormous entourage cost the taxpayers estimated $100 million dollars. What statute would define this expenditure as an emergency necessity which would require taking a $100 million from the retirement and disability fund of federal retirees versus cutting the expense and not doing the trips as no one knows why Obamas embarked on this African trip in the first place? In his letters of May 17, August 2 and August 26 Mr. Lew states that extraordinary measures are needed to preserve the faith and credit of the US government. American citizens are entitled to get under Freedom of Information Act any and all information, which would clarify for hem, how “faith and credit of the US government “ will be preserved by Obamas going on lavish trips and taking $100 million dollars from disability and retirement of federal employees, many of whom are members of the US military, FBI, CIA, DEA and others, who risked their lives and lost limbs and are 100% dependant on such benefits.
Respectfully,
/s/ Dr. Orly Taitz, ESQ

As Sonny and Cher used to sing, “And the Beat goes On…”
The “Birtherism” issue is NOT letting up and is becoming Topic Numero Uno for all the obfuscation by the transfixed Obama media.
In Texas and New Mexico, “Birtherism” is on the front page:
——–
EDITORIAL: Ted Cruz
and the ‘birther’ issue
The Daily Times Via Dallas Morning News
Is he a natural-born citizen or isn’t he?
The question has been a nagging part of Barack Obama’s life ever since his first presidential campaign.
No amount of birth certificates and sworn statements from state officials in Hawaii, his birthplace, seemed capable of putting the issue to rest.
The “birther” movement continues pressing the question even today, five years after Obama’s election to the presidency.

I think your FOIA request is too vague. You need to be more specific. What this is asking for is millions of documents and would cost you a lot of money even if they agreed to do it.
They’ll ignore this. Next time try asking for just one specific document.

Beyond belief. Wish I could handle my household spending in this manner. Gary North’s comments are worth reading on Lew Rockwell.
