We Demand Congressional Hearings Friend, Below is our press release on the new revelations that the IRS has been targeting Tea Party non-profit organizations. ### For Immediate Release May 11, 2013 Contract From America Calls For Congressional Hearings On IRS Targeting Tea Party Groups HOUSTON, TX The Contract From America is calling for congressional hearings to investigate the admission by the IRS that it purposefully singled out for additional review politically conservative organizations applying for non-profit status that used the words "Tea Party" or "patriot" in their applications. "It is outrageous that the Obama Administration, through the IRS, has played politics by targeting conservative groups like the Contract from America," said Contract From America founder Ryan Hecker. "We have now waited three years for our tax-exempt status because the IRS has held-up our file for being a Tea Party group. When did this become acceptable in a free society?" The Contract From America demands a full investigation by Congress to determine how high up in the Obama Administration the political corruption and abuse of power was known about, a list of all people who had knowledge of these actions by the IRS during and after the abuse, and for those involved to be held fully responsible. "The United States of America is a democratic republic and not a dictatorial socialist state where this type of corruption occurs," added Hecker. "The Contract From America demands action and will help make these hearings a reality." ### In Freedom, Contract From America Team | |
