IRS Backs Down

The IRS heard you, here's what they said April 4, 2014 Tom,Your actions have compelled the IRS to put off implementing regulations proposed by the Obama administration that were intended to shut down distribution of voter guides and legislative scorecards, holding get-out-the-vote campaigns and even voter registration activities by AFA and other conservative groups. The IRS was proposing regulations that would give them the authority to invent rules that could ultimately censor political speech by conservative organizations, and eventually churches. That's when we asked you to submit public comments and your efforts have paid off! IRS Commissioner John Koskinen issued this statement earlier this week: "During the comment period, which ended in February, we received more than150,000 comments. That's a record for an IRS rulemaking comment period. In fact, if you take all the comments on all Treasury and IRS draft proposals over the last seven years and double that number, you come close to the number of comments we are now beginning to review and analyze. "It's going to take us a while to sort through all those comments, hold a public hearing, possibly re-propose a draft regulation and get more public comments.This means that it is unlikely we will be able to complete this process before the end of the year." The overwhelming response from freedom-loving Americans means one thing: the IRS recognized the proposed regulations are utterly contrary to the First Amendment and completely out of step with American values. Although Commissioner Koskinen didn't thank you for the public comments to his office, we certainly do!

They are RELENTLESS and so must every Christian be RELENTLESS in defense of Religious Liberty.
