Don’t Let the IRS Silence You!

The Obama administration via the Treasury Department is proposing a uniform approach to stifling political speech, issuing a new regulation severely restricting political activity of 501(c)(4) organizations. . . . limitations will be imposed not simply on advocacy for or against a candidate for public office, as has been the case for over 50 years, but on any communication that even mentions a public official who happens to be a candidate. Specifically, the regulations will define "certain communications that are close in time to an election and that refer to a clearly identified candidate as electioneering communications." It applies blackout periods 60 days prior to the general election and 30 days prior to primary elections at the federal, state, and local level.This persecution must stop that the Supreme Court has already struck down as a blatant First Amendment violation in the Citizens United decision. ~ Robert Romano, Americans for Limited Government

Tom Fitton, Judicial Watch: The Obama administration, with the urging of its leftist allies, wants to kill the conservative movement with these proposed regulations and other steps. Judicial Watch won’t stand still for it and neither should you.

President Obama’s Internal Revenue Service has quietly announced new rules that strictly limit the ability of 501(c)(4), tax-exempt organizations from carrying out their core missions in the months leading up to federal, state, and local elections. These new rules are seemingly designed to silence the growing conservative grassroots and Tea Party movement in America. Our First Amendment rights are in jeopardy. Please join us in fighting back now!

These new IRS rules will:
1.Keep citizens from holding their public officials accountable
2, Silence citizens and chill the very purpose of grassroots groups

Tell the IRS:

• It is impractical, burdensome and unacceptable for the IRS to interject itself into the inner workings of every citizens group in the country
• The IRS is supposed to be collecting revenues, not snooping and trampling on the First Amendment rights of the citizens
• American citizens don't need permission from the IRS in-order to be active in grassroots movements
• To stop unfairly attacking the Tea Party and other 501c4 groups
