 Revere Radio followed up last night on reports of nationwide raids on
supporters of Ed & Elaine Brown, tax resistors in New Hampshire. The special
live report features contact information for federal and local authorities,
to let them know that America is watching their actions.

Citizen protests are scheduled this morning for Jim Wells County Sheriff's
Department in Texas [361-668-0341], where Reno Gonzalez is currently being
held. Reno's brother Romeo Gonzalez told the Revere audience of the raid,
and talk show hos Jack Blood also chimed in with a note of caution.

An AP account of the arrests follows. Although some charges were reported no
warrants were produced at the time of the raid of the Gonzalez residence in
Texas.

"Four men accused of helping obstruct justice in the case of convicted tax
evaders Ed and Elaine Brown have been arrested, U.S. Marshal Stephen Monier
said Wednesday.

Monier said the men are Cirino "Reno" Gonzales, 30, of Alice, Texas; Daniel
Riley, 40, of Albany, N.Y.; Jason Gerhard, 22, of Brookhaven, N.Y.; and
Robert Wolffe, 50, of Randolph, Vt.

Charges range from accessory after the fact to possession and use of a
firearm in relation to a crime of violence.

Officials believe that the men participated in various efforts to assist the
Browns in avoiding justice at their rural home in Plainfield and conspired
to impede federal agents.

The Browns, who were convicted in January and have refused to turn
themselves in to authorities, claim the federal income tax is not
legitimate. Supporters from across the country have visited them at their
home, although some relationships have come to a bitter end: The Browns have
squabbled with bloggers, radio hosts, and several spokesmen and assistants.

A Web site about the Browns says they're planning to hold a fundraising
event on their property on Saturday.

Monier said Gonzales was arrested in Alice, Texas; Riley in Cohoes, N.Y.;
Gerhard at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo.; and Wolffe in Hartford, Vt.

"In this case, these men are alleged to have helped the Browns in their
ongoing refusal to surrender to authorities," Monier said. "The Browns have
engaged in a course of conduct that has led to further criminal
investigations into their activity. Anyone who aids the Browns is subject to
investigation, arrest and prosecution for serious felonies, which carry very
heavy prison sentences."

Earlier this year, officials cut power and telephone service in an effort to
ratchet up pressure on the couple convicted of scheming to avoid federal
income taxes by hiding $1.9 million of income between 1996 and 2003. The
Browns said they hadn't noticed the changes, they can survive on generators
and they have 103 wooded acres to keep warm this winter. Their home is on an
isolated dirt road and includes a turret that offers a 360-degree view of
the property and a driveway that is sometimes barricaded with sport utility
vehicles.

The Brown's phone numbers still appeared to be disconnected on Wednesday.

Also, heavily armed police once surrounded the Browns' home and readied for
combat in June while they seized commercial property the couple owned in a
neighboring town. SWAT teams, military and explosives vehicles marshaled in
the tiny town and sparked rumors _ and expectations _ of a raid. U.S.
marshals said it was only for surveillance.

Those authorities were seen by Riley, who was out walking the couple's dog
when he was detained by marshals.

Since abandoning his federal trial and retreating to his home, Ed Brown has
repeatedly said that any attempts to arrest him would result in a violent
confrontation.
