IRS EXPOSED: Voter Integrity Group Hassled Beyond Belief by Obama’s IRS Thugs

By Clash Daily / 17 May 2013 / 5 Comments

Darby- The Houston-based voter integrity group True the Vote has released one of the five sets of the intrusive questions they were sent by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) after filing for 501(c3) tax-exempt status.

The questions, and ones like it sent to other Tea Party or conservative groups, have received high levels of attention after it was revealed that the IRS intentionally targeted conservative groups prior to the 2012 presidential election. True the Vote has alsoaccused the Department of Justice (DOJ) of scrutinizing their organization.
The questions from the IRS were far-reaching and intrusive, and some members of Congress have called for criminal investigationsinto those individuals in the IRS who participated in the abuse of power.
The questions range from the mundane to the IRS requiring knowledge of the identity of each and every volunteer True the Vote has worked with. The IRS also demanded all minutes or notes from any meeting the organization ever held.
An un-redacted copy of the set of of questions is provided here.

GOP lawmakers liken EPA info tactics to IRS targeting of Tea Party



By Julian Hattem - 05/17/13 05:56 PM ET


Congressional Republicans have accused the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of giving unfair preference to environmental groups when it comes to information requests.

The lawmakers compared the agency's behavior to the recent revelation that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) gave additional scrutiny to Tea Party organizations. In a letter to Acting EPA Administrator Bob Perciasepe on Friday, four Republicans accused the agency of routinely waiving fees for environmental groups who seek documents under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) but making conservative think tanks and state and local governments pay full price.
"This disparate treatment is unacceptable, especially in light of the recent controversy over abusive tactics at the Internal Revenue Service, which singled out conservative groups for special scrutiny," the legislators wrote.
Sens. David Vitter (R-La.), Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) signed on to the letter.
The legislators pointed to data that show that 92 percent of all fee waivers granted by the EPA were to requests from environmental groups.
"The startling disparity in treatment strongly suggests EPA's actions are possibly part of a broader effort to collude with groups that share the agency's political agenda and discriminate against states and conservative organizations," they alleged. "This is a clear abuse of discretion."
They want the agency to submit to Congress information on fee waivers going back to 2009 and seek to question the official in charge of the FOIA office.
The agency is ordering a review of its policies to ensure fairness.
Like other parts of the federal government, the EPA sometimes charges fees for research hours and photocopying of documents requested by a FOIA.
The agency judges requests for waived fees based on six factors, and a requester must prove that the information is in the public interest and not primarily commercially motivated.
"EPA makes FOIA waiver determinations based on legal requirements that are consistently applied to all fee waiver requests, not on the identity of the reporter," EPA spokeswoman Alisha Johnson said in an email. "EPA has requested the agency’s independent Inspector General to review these criteria to ensure EPA’s FOIA process remains open, fair and transparent."
The Republicans' allegations are the latest in a string of criticisms against the agency, a pattern that some Democrats claim is obstructionist and designed to prevent the agency from carrying out its duties.
President Obama's nominee to lead the EPA, Gina McCarthy, advanced out of committee on a party line vote on Thursday, but Democrats worry about a Republican filibuster on the Senate floor.
