On Tuesday, The Wall Street Journal <\/a>posted an article about the IRS<\/a> targeting conservative groups for audits<\/a>. House Ways and Means Committee<\/a> Chairman Dave Camp<\/a> has stated that the committee\u2019s continuing investigation has found that the IRS also singled out established conservative tax-exempt groups for audits. That is not a surprise when you consider the harassment that donors to conservative causes underwent during the run-up to the 2012 election. As I have previously mentioned, my husband and I were audited for the first time in 45 years. The auditors found nothing, but it took them almost a year to find nothing.<\/p>\n

The Democrats<\/a> in Congress<\/a> are currently attempting to pass laws that would severely limit the free speech of conservative organizations. Under the new guidelines the Democrats are seeking, the voter guides showing the voting records of candidates would be considered unlawful political activity by organizations that have traditionally distributed them.<\/p>\n

The article includes the current spin the Democrats are using to attempt to hide what they are doing and what they have done:<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead of this prestigious committee using its broad jurisdiction to address critical issues that confront us, it has been consumed by a tireless effort by Republicans to find political scandal, regardless of what the truth holds, as they look toward the November election,\u201d said Rep. Sander Levin<\/a> (D., Mich.<\/a>).<\/strong><\/p>\n

He also chided Republicans for seeking to delay the regulations, noting that \u201cwhat really remains hidden are donors to groups pouring millions of dollars into campaign advertising.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new IRS regulations proposed by the Democrats are a threat to free speech. If they are enacted, most Americans<\/a> will only hear one side of any political issue.<\/p>\n
