In May of 2013, it became public knowledge that the Internal
Revenue Service of the United States was targeting American citizens for their
political and religious beliefs. This caused many Americans to spend time and
resources to jump through hoops for the IRS to remain in compliance.
Speculation is that this was done specifically to prevent conservatives from
making their voices heard leading up to the 2012 election, effectively
silencing a large segment of the population.
Now, the IRS is prepared to implement regulations that would make
their targeting legal. This is an assault on the 1st amendment and we cannot
let them get away with this.
We must call Congress and demand that they protect the first amendment.
The IRS is accepting comments on the new proposals until February 27, 2014 and
we should flood them with comments. Write a letter to the editor of your local
paper to inform your community. Finally, forward this email to everyone you
know who cares about protecting the first amendment!
TAKE ACTION NOW
- Call,
write, tweet Congress and tell them to stop this assault on the first
amendment. Congress directory is here (House) and here (Senate).
- Leave
a comment with the IRS so we can flood them with comments.
- Write
a letter to the editor to inform your community.
