Our own legal system and agents of the government use coercion to
steal from good, hardworking people every day!
[Respect America] [1]
Patriot,
Have you ever had something stolen from you? Maybe your freedom, your
property, or your health?
I hope your loss has not come at the hand of someone working for the
government, but that isn’t the case for many others.
OUR OWN LEGAL SYSTEM AND AGENTS OF THE GOVERNMENT USE COERCION TO
STEAL FROM GOOD, HARDWORKING PEOPLE EVERY DAY!
That’s just not right.
At Respect America, we believe that people deserve happiness, and any
act of theft or violence, regardless of who does it, always reduces
the happiness, harmony, and prosperity of the victim.
We are on a mission to EXPOSE government coercion through real-life
testimonies of victims. Respect America is looking for 100 new donors
to step up today and support our mission. Can you chip in $10 or more
and help us share these stories? [2]

Here are three examples of government coercion in action:
A DEVOTED MOTHER LOSES HER RIGHT TO SPEAK FREELY
In August 2024, Arizona mother Rebekah Massie was arrested at a
Surprise city council meeting after criticizing the city attorney’s
pay, violating a local rule that banned complaints against officials
during public comment.
Despite attending peacefully with her daughter to speak about
government waste, she was forcibly removed and charged with
trespassing — a case later dismissed by a judge who called the
city’s actions “objectively outrageous.”
Now, with the help of the Foundation for Individual Rights and
Expression (FIRE), Massie is suing the city and its officials for
violating her First Amendment rights and using government power to
silence dissent.

A FARMER WAS ATTACKED, AND THE GOVERNMENT AGENT IS HIDING BEHIND
IMMUNITY
Tom and Ayda Hamann, Wyoming homesteaders, clashed with Heart Mountain
Irrigation District officials after manager Randy Watts threatened to
build a road through their property without a legal easement.
When Tom peacefully tried to stop the unauthorized work and figure out
a reasonable solution, Watts gave the order to “run the son of a
b*tch over”. The excavator operator hit Tom in the head with the
bucket, causing severe spinal and head injuries and over $10,000 in
property damage.
After years of legal struggle, the Wyoming Supreme Court ruled in July
2025 that the person who hit him, who was employed by the water
district, could not claim government immunity. This is allowing the
Hamanns to continue their fight for justice and accountability.

A NEW JERSEY FARMER FOUGHT TO SAVE HIS LAND
In Cranbury, New Jersey, Andy Henry and his brother found out their
21-acre family farm — which had been passed down since 1850 — was
going to be seized through eminent domain for a state-mandated
affordable housing project.
Town officials moved forward without notice or negotiation,
threatening to take the property if the brothers refused to sell.
Despite zoning restrictions and community opposition, the city pressed
on. Once they found out what was happening, the Henrys spent their own
money to defend their land from what Andy calls “lawful theft,”
fearing it may be lost forever.
They were one of the lucky ones. They recently won their case and will
be able to keep their land. However, others may not be so fortunate…
