Because the IRS is part of the executive bureaucracy, Congress has no power to stop it from making new rules. But while your Representative and Senator won’t be able to stand up for your First Amendment rights, you will. The IRS is accepting comments on the proposed new rules at this link. After reading about the rule below, you can go to regulations.gov/ and enter the code “IRS REG-134417-13″ to leave a comment on how the new rules could affect citizen groups in your community. After the tax-collecting bureau’s inappropriate political targeting of conservative groups was exposed earlier this year, the IRS shifted its focus to tightening the rules by which nonprofit groups are allowed to operate, and may soon forbid journalism and social welfare organizations from conducting many of their day-to-day activities. Whether the new rules are part of a continued attack on conservative groups or simply a misguided abuse of power, they threaten to have far-reaching implications for nonprofits across the political spectrum.
