HINTS FOR REQUESTING INFORMATION UNDER FOIA REQUEST
Here is a sample Freedom of Information Act request. If you want to be on the OFFENSE and not the DEFENSE, this is one way to do it and at the same time drive them absolutely insane.
Your request is based on the 5 U.S.C. §552: Freedom of Information Act / 5 U.S.C. §552a: Privacy Act, et seq. Under this federal law, any agency is required to give certain information, such as those described herein. This information will allow you to determine, among other things, whether an agency is acting within the bounds of their authority.
Since my research indicates that MOST government agencies, whether they are local, state or federal, nearly always act outside their constitutionally delegated limitations, this is obviously important information to have and again it gives them the hives.
HOW TO GET IT: Simply type the information in numbers 1 through 5 as is. (This is necessary boilerplate information). For number 6, you insert SPECIFICALLY the documents you want them to send you. Send to appropriate person.
NOTE: The FOIA only applies to federal agencies.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Only send one request at a time. Do not send all 11 requests at the same time, as they will ignore your request.
ADDITIONALLY: Ask for the same information (at the same time) from your local U.S. Congressman (the one that wants your vote to get reelected). They usually have an office that has a local phone number to you. You can call them and ask them for the information. NOTE: You DO NOT ask the Congressman for things like your Individual Master File, but rather things that are listed in 1 through 11.
Congress exempted themselves from the FOIA (Of course they exempt themselves from all their "laws". That is why Jesus got all over the scribes and Pharisees when he stated in Luke 11:46 "And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers for ye lade men with grievous to be burdens, and ye yourselves touch no the burdens with one of your fingers"). So just ask Congressmen for answers; don't ask for the documents and do not send them a FOIA request, make it a normal letter.
The reason I do this? A lot of times, the agency does not want to give you the information. They will try to stonewall you. They do not usually do that to Congressmen.
Remember when you are dealing with any government agency, it is a Master-Servant relationship. It is up to you to decide; which one you are going to be.
