Top Conservatives Demand Hearings on IRS Privacy Allegations

As if the IRS isn’t facing enough scrutiny, a dream team of conservative leaders is calling for congressional hearings into whether the IRS and the Obama administration allowed two state attorneys general to target non-profit organizations by requiring disclosure of their donor lists in return for permission to solicit donations in their respective states.

They charge coercing donors lists are a violation of First Amendment liberties, and violate strict federal statutes that protect the confidentiality of certain portions of nonprofit organizations’ tax filings.

A who’s who list of 104 top conservatives signed the letter, which is dated May 19 and addressed to House Oversight & Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz.

The letter alleges "serious violations and evasions of the Internal Revenue Code" by California Attorney General Kamala Harris and New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.

Hey look at this 7 figure retirement plan. All in an effort to stop true conservatives from making a difference at the ballot box. Why do the democrats feel they have to cheat to win elections? Because if they did not cheat they would not get the MAJORITY of the votes!!

With Lerner taking the 5th and investigations confirming that all is not right with IRS activity, it's time for a top to bottom and back again audit and further investigation.
