I realize that there are some people who want government-funded political campaigns. That is not what this article is about. I am talking about groups that accept government funding and then make campaign contributions.

I object. If the taxpayers want to give the money to either the group or the political campaign, they can do that without the government being in the middle. Two groups that take money from the government and lobby and have Political Action Committees (PAC’s) are AARP and Planned Parenthood.

On Friday, Breitbart.com posted an article about the finances of Planned Parenthood. The article states:

The article further reports:

“Clearly political activity is not considered social welfare under the Treasury regulations,” Marc Owens, a tax attorney and former head of the IRS tax-exempt organizations unit, told Open Secrets.

The other named groups are: The Green Tech Action Fund, Citizens for a Working America, Citizens for the Republic, American Values Action, Hispanic Leadership Fund, New Models, Common Sense Movement, West Virginia Conservative Foundation, American Action Network, Americans for Job Security, VoteVets.org, Vets for Freedom, Colorado Family Action, Americans for Tax Reform, and Winning Message Action Fund.

We need to elect people to Congress that will enforce the laws currently on the books evenly and will stop giving taxpayer money to organizations that make political contributions.
