Tell the IRS not to bully conservative groups

From Public Advocate:

On Monday, I wrote to inform you about the latest assault on conservative free speech by Obama's IRS agents and their allies.

Now it's time for action.

It is absolutely critical that you and I inspire as many pro-Family conservatives to speak out before the Federal Register's public comment period ends on February 27th.

So I'm kicking off Public Advocate's petition campaign to tell Obama's IRS that we won't let them silence our values.

I'll give you a link to the petition in a minute, but first I'd like to tell you a little bit more about why this is such a crucial battle with real consequences if we fall short.

If Public Advocate supporters like you sit this fight out on the sidelines, I'm afraid Obama and his IRS operatives will succeed in enforcing IRS Regulation IR-2013-92.

This dangerous new bureaucratic overreach is the latest effort by Obama's IRS designed to squelch conservative groups like your Public Advocate.

IR-2013-92 would prevent Public Advocate -- by using withering financial punishment -- from reaching you and the rest of our pro-Family activists with:

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" -- even if the communication had nothing to do with an election, or even if it said nothing about electing any candidate to public office.

Preparation or distribution of a voter guide -- even if completely objective, with no preferences for or against any candidates.

Conduct of a voter registration drive -- even if completely objective, with no preference for or against any candidate.

Your Public Advocate -- along with countless other conservative 501(c)(4) groups -- has been a thorn in the side of politicians and bureaucrats.

And that's why they want to shut you and I up with withering financial punishment.

They don't like being held accountable for abandoning the values they were elected to defend.

When Public Advocate shows up on Capitol Hill and in state capitals across the country, you can believe the officials don't want to face the political heat we bring.

Obama knows this better than most.

And that's why he's working with his plants in the IRS to shut us down and shut us up.

Because when you and I demand our elected officials stand up for traditional marriage and pro-Family values, Obama and his allies in the radical Homosexual Lobby face an uphill battle enforcing their agenda.

The more pro-Family voices that flood the Federal Register during the public comment period, the better chance we have of nipping this threat in the bud and avoiding yet another long and costly court battle.

Public Advocate and other conservative 501(c)(4) groups have been vital in standing up for pro-Family values and defending traditional marriage.

Thanks to Public Advocate members like you, we've been able to hold off the Gay Bill of Special Rights from passing the House of Representatives.

This dangerous crown jewel of the Homosexual Agenda would codify special class employment status for homosexuals at the expense of First Amendment Religious Liberties.

President Obama and the radical Homosexual Lobby badly want this bill to pass.

In key battleground states like Utah, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, Public Advocate is engaged in targeted grassroots programs, fighting to preserve traditional marriage laws.

And unfortunately, weak-sister Republicans like Speaker of the House John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor would rather give Obama his way than lift a finger to defend our values.

That's why you and I can't relent one second in our fight against the Homosexual Agenda.

And that's precisely why Obama's IRS agents want to shut us up.

After you've signed your petition, please consider chipping in $5, $10, $25, or more to help Public Advocate run the most effective and wide-reaching program we can to protect pro-Family free speech.

Unlike the radical Homosexual Lobby, Public Advocate does not have seemingly unlimited resources, financed by wealthy celebrities and government grants.

Most of our funds come as small gifts from people just like you.

But even though we don't have the deep-pockets of Hollywood on our side, and we refuse to take a place at the government trough, your support keeps Public Advocate strong.

You are the reason Public Advocate is the most feared pro-Family network of activists in America.

Please sign your pro-Family freedom of speech petition today, and chip in with a generous financial gift to fund this and other vital Public Advocate programs today!

For the Family,

HON. EUGENE DELGAUDIO
President, Public Advocate of the U.S.

P.S. It is absolutely critical that you and I inspire as many pro-Family conservatives to speak out before the Federal Register's public comment period ends on February 27th.

Please sign your petition today to tell Barack Obama's IRS agents that we won't let them silence our values.

And after you've signed, please chip in with a generous financial contribution to give every single pro-Family Public Advocate member a voice against Obama's IRS agents.
