Dear Patriot,
Let me be frank: The IRS’s trained thugs did a massive amount of damage to the Tea Party movement.
Here at Tea Party Patriots we’ve been battling the IRS since 2010, and we still haven’t received the nonprofit approval we need.
And there are countless more local Tea Party affiliates that either remain in IRS limbo or that have been forced to fold.
And that cost is sure to continue to skyrocket in the near future.
It is clear that IRS officials instigated a national operation aimed
at harassing and intimidating Tea Party organizations and other
conservative citizen-led groups.
Their goal was to bury the Tea Party
movement in mounds of paperwork and scare ordinary pro-limited
government Americans out of exercising their first amendment rights.
These gangsters demanded that groups turn over their membership
rosters, their donor lists, and even itemized listings of what books
they read.
They demanded copies of personal blog posts, Facebook pages, and in the
case of one conservative educational group, the names of each and every teenaged student that ever attended a class!
And in every instance, IRS “agents” made sure that Tea Party volunteers understood they could be thrown in prison if they made even one small mistake!
Fortunately, many local groups refused these illegal demands. Many are
still fighting back. Just like we are here at Tea Party Patriots
headquarters.
Given the scale and intensity of the IRS assault, I believe it is a
testament to our movement that we have survived and are still making a
difference.
But this all-out government assault on our freedoms has come at a huge cost.
That’s why we need your help today.
We need to make sure every single local Tea Party organization that has been harassed is made whole again.
We need to make sure the IRS gives them their nonprofit status letters immediately.
And we need to restart each and every Tea Party group that was forced to shut down because of these government attacks.
Then, of course, we must make sure that every single individual
involved in this unconstitutional effort to silence us is either fired
or thrown in jail!
Federal bureaucrats who have a vested interest in preserving and increasing their power have declared war on the American people!
So now we must treat our wounded and get back on the offensive.
Our list of local Tea Party groups victimized by the IRS is growing by the hour.
And the Tea Party Patriots’ accounting staff is working overtime to
figure out exactly how much this campaign of hate and intimidation has
cost us.
We’ve been battling with these IRS thugs since 2010!
Together we will prevail in the face of this tyranny!
Sincerely,
Jenny Beth Martin
Co-Founder and National Coordinator
