The backlash to the IRS's oppressive regulation is a success

From The National Right To Work Committee:

We sounded the alarm, and you took up the call.

I can't say I have any high hopes the Obama IRS will listen to the outpouring of comments by citizens like you opposing new regulations designed to stifle political speech, especially after the outrageous targeting of conservative groups.

But I'd like to thank you for standing up and making sure opposition to this unconstitutional scheme was heard.

By last night's deadline, the IRS had received over 140,000 comments. After 98,000 comments had been received, the IRS confirmed to the media that was a new record.

And "most were overwhelmingly critical," Roll Call reported.

Nearly 6,000 of those comments contained the exact sample language I sent Right to Work supporters like you, and countless others submitted their own comments about protecting the First Amendment.

Not only that, over 20,000 Right to Work supporters signed our petition against these onerous regulations.

Make no mistake, the Obama IRS drafted these regulations with the goal to shut you up.

And even if, as I expect, the Obama IRS doesn't heed your call to withdraw the proposed rules, you sent a loud and clear message that even the mainstream media noticed.

One of the reasons the Big Government championed by union bosses is so dangerous is the damage it can do to our rights without the level of public scrutiny that occurs over battles in Congress.

You and I know what that's like, after facing off against the radical Obama Labor Board these past several years.

Thank you again for fighting back against this unconstitutional assault on your freedom of speech.

I'll keep you updated if the IRS implements these speech-chilling rules -- and how we can fight back in court.

Sincerely,

Mark Mix
