Rein in the IRS support HR 3865

From Campaign For Liberty:

Last week, I wrote you about the IRS’ proposed rule that would subject Campaign for Liberty and like-minded groups to IRS audits and other government harassment if we make:

Communications that are made within 60 days of a general election (or within 30 days of a primary election) and clearly identify a candidate or political party." [IRS Regulation IR-2013-92]

In other words, this rule would empower the IRS to muzzle us right at the time people are most interested in learning about their elected officials’ positions!

I also let you know about HR 3865, the Stop Targeting Beliefs by the IRS Act, which would halt this rule’s implementation.

Tomorrow, the House will vote on HR 3865.

That’s why it is vital you call Congress immediately and urge your representative to vote for HR 3865.

You can reach your representative here

If enacted, the IRS rule could even limit Campaign for Liberty’s ability to simply ask you to contact Congress regarding upcoming votes occurring within 60 days of a general election or 30 days of a primary, since we would have to mention your elected officials’ names.

Defeating such a blatantly unconstitutional move by the IRS should be easy.

But I’m confident quite a few representatives and senators are hoping our efforts fail.

Many politicians in D.C. would love nothing more than to stop grassroots activists from taking action and holding them accountable on issues such as Audit the Fed, standing up to the NSA, and more – if they’re allowed to get away with it.

You can see why they might sit idly by and let this nightmare for the grassroots take effect, so it’s vital we counter by loudly making our voices heard while we still can.

They may think it’s politically expedient to let us be silenced.

Let’s show them they won’t get away with not acting.

Please call Congress NOW and tell your representative to vote for HR 3865 and stop the IRS from muzzling you!

And if you can, please chip in toward Campaign for Liberty’s efforts to fight back with a contribution of $50, $40, $30, or $20 today.

Thank you in advance for taking action.

In Liberty,

Norm Singleton
Vice President of Policy

P.S. Tomorrow, Congress will vote on the Stop Targeting Beliefs by the IRS Act (HR 3865).

HR 3865 blocks the IRS’s proposed rule prohibiting Campaign for Liberty and like-minded groups from sharing information regarding how your elected officials stand on issues such as Audit the Fed, NSA spying, and replacing ObamaCare within 60 days of a general election and 30 days of a primary — the very time most people are interested in learning about their elected officials’ positions!

I’m sure many politicians would love nothing more than to silence C4L members and other grassroots activists when it matters most.

That is why you must let them know you are watching and expect them to fight for the First Amendment – and that you won’t let them off the hook for sitting idly by.

So please call Congress today and urge your representative to vote for HR 3865!
