The IRS Is About To Become The Arbiter Of Your 1st Amendment Rights By Obama Regime Decree

The IRS Is About To Become The Arbiter Of Your 1st Amendment Rights By Obama Regime Decree  

       You read that right. The same IRS that was recently caught red-handed targeting conservative organizations, and the same IRS that is going to administer your personal healthcare under ObamaCare, is about to grant itself broad powers to muzzle your 1st Amendment rights through the tax code.


       But Barack Obama isn't asking for legislation from Congress to grant the IRS these powers. Mr. I-Have-A-Pen-And-I-Have-A-Phone is going to do it by decree, and the only body that can stop him is the United States Congress.


       Enough is enough. They've been feckless in the past but Barack Obama has gone so far that our elected officials must be pushed to action. We have to be honest with you, the future of our Republic is in your hands... Because, if we can't generate an avalanche of calls and faxes to Washington, these cowards won't act to stop this IRS assault on your rights to free speech and association… And without the ability to join together with fellow patriotic Americans to petition your government, what do We the People have left?

"Stalinist Lawlessness"

       That's what radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh said just days ago in reference to a number of IRS abuses, but Limbaugh is not the only one sounding the alarm.


       Even liberal icons such as The Nation and the ACLU are up in arms over this Obama-IRS assault of the 1st Amendment. The Nation even went so far as to say that these coming IRS "regulations" would "damage the ability of everyday Americans to have an impact on the political process."


       Specifically, speech "would be significantly constrained" in reference to "pending votes in Congress in the period leading up to elections..." if it merely mentions the name or party affiliation of an elected official, "which in the case of the House of Representatives, for instance, is virtually everyone."


       Imagine, for just a moment that you received an alert or news item from any one of the conservative organizations you presently rely upon that stated the following:
Alert: Congressmen [Whose Names And Party Affiliations We Are Prohibited From Mentioning By Law] Are Advancing Legislation To Give Barack Obama Broad - Almost Dictatorial - Power. Contact Key Members Of Congress [Whose Names And Party Affiliations We Are Also Prohibited From Mentioning By Law] To Put A Stop To This Danger To Our Republic.

       If it weren't so serious it would be almost comical… but we're not laughing because obviously, no one would print anything resembling the item above – they wouldn't print anything at all.


       Of course, the constraints on the 1st Amendment will have time limits - at first. Publish anything that even mentions an elected official who is running for re-election 60 days before a general election or 30 days before a primary and the IRS may choose to consider it to be prohibited speech.


       And here's where things get really wacky. Consider the following from National Review Online: "The rule proposes to require groups, starting 60 days before the election, to scrub their websites of any material mentioning a candidate. Thus, an article written last month quoting Democratic members of Congress echoing the president's assurances that 'if you like your plan, you can keep your plan' would have to be taken down next Labor Day, just as the campaign was heating up."


       One article…? What about the comments that private individuals, like you, make on website articles? Can't have those. What about linking to other websites, like The New York Times or Washington Post, that publish stories about elected officials or candidates for office? Nope... not if you don't want the IRS breathing down your neck...


       And remember, politicians will have two windows – the window mentioned above and a 30 days window prior to a primary - to ram all the things they know you won't like through Congress because... well... if no one is allowed (under penalty of law) to talk about it, then no one will hear about it... right?


       As The Daily Caller reported, "the only thing inhibiting Congress, the president, state legislatures, and governors from cramming more controversial bills into those windows would be their campaign schedules."

Of Course, Everyone Won't Be Affected.

       The Obama-IRS muzzle will not apply to everyone. MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, The New York Times and all the leftist media organizations will be free to continue pushing leftist advocacy under the guise of news.


       Even The Nation, which at least has the integrity to speak truthfully about these tyrannical and lawless pending government regulations, will be unaffected.


       And big labor unions and other leftist organizations in existence will be exempt from the IRS' rules. Large corporations, of course, are also exempt.


       And to be totally frank, if going to work, eating dinner, watching a little television and driving the kiddies to soccer practice constitutes the sum of your daily activities, then you probably have nothing to worry about.


       But, if you're reading this appeal, then chances are very high that these IRS regulations WILL apply to YOU and if you're not convinced, then keep reading.

If You Belong To A Local Tea Party Or 912 Group, Take Notice.

       According to Freedom Works:


       If you’re involved in the Tea Party, 9/12, or ANY other grassroots groups, the new IRS rules will make it ILLEGAL for you to:


     checkMention a candidate up for re-election within 60 days of an election. That includes every single member of the House of Representatives – you won’t be able petition your own representatives.

     checkRegister voters.

     checkCall for the election or defeat of a political candidate.

     checkHold candidate forums so voters can decide who would best to represent them.


       Do you belong to the VFW or the Knights of Columbus? Are you a member of the Lions or the Fraternal Order of Moose or the Kiwanis Club? Are you involved with another local community group? If so, you and your friends and associates could be under scrutiny.


       National Review Online states: "[D]on't think this applies only to big TV campaigns. It applies to any form of advertising that might reach over 500 people. Inexpensive Internet ads purchased by a local Tea Party outfit, or a mailer announcing a meeting and sent to 2,500 area residents."


       All of the above - and more - applies to you; whether you're a VFW member who is sounding-off on local legislation of importance to Veterans... or a member of a local community group fighting an idiotic zoning ordinance.


       If so, be very careful of what you say, what you do and specifically, when you do it. If Obama's IRS gets it way, the government will be watching and if some pencil-pusher or politician doesn't like what you have to say then you best keep your opinions to yourself.


       The Daily Caller again: "For decades, the IRS has determined what constitutes political intervention through a vague and open-ended, 'facts and circumstances' standard" and you can make a sure bet that under the guise of providing clarity, that "standard" will only become more "vague."


       And make no mistake; these IRS "regulations" are a blatant attempt to shut you up and shut you out of the political process. Jay Sekulow with the American Center for Law and Justice alluded to that eventuality when he said: "It's now clear that new, speech-restricting regulations proposed by the IRS are not separate from the larger targeting scheme – where the IRS singled out conservative groups for unconstitutional scrutiny – but instead were long contemplated as a permanent answer to conservative nonprofit’s political activity." [Emphasis Ours]


       Sekulow is right, but ask yourself the following question: Whereas these "long contemplated" assaults on your 1st Amendment rights were potentially tied into the IRS targeting of grassroots organizations, do you honestly believe that once these regulations are in place, the Obama Regime will stop its efforts to silence it’s political opponents?

and you are still voting in their system because no matter what they do to US Citizens you will keep claiming to be one, right?
Hmm. Well take all your money. still claiming to be a citizen and complaining
we'll take all your rights. still claiming to be a citizen and complaining
we'll decide how you live your life, with whom, and how it will end, and you are still claiming to be a citizen and complaining.

you want in on a constitution that has nothing to do with you.
You want your vote to count when it doesn't
and you want congress to listen to you when they don't even represent your interest.

And the real problem is with who?
