Officials inside the Internal Revenue Services have admitted to and apologized for targeting Tea Party and conservative groups during the 2012 election. But reports indicate that senior officials inside the IRS knew, since 2010, that right-leaning organizations were being targeted for special scrutiny.
But the IRS didn’t just bully and harass, the federal agency also gave the confidential application data of conservative groups to leftist media sources.
Grassfire has launched a national petition demanding Congress launch a full criminal investigation into the actions and motivations behind the IRS’ targeting of Tea Party and conservative groups. They are mobilizing 50,000 citizen-petitions for hand-delivery to House and Senate leaders on Capitol Hill within the next two weeks. They need only 9000 more to reach 50,000...won't you join in and be counted among those who are concerned about the IRS's unconstitutional targeting and want them investigated thoroughly and sanctioned for this injustice?
If so...sign the petition below and tell our government that this injustice will NOT be tolerated!
The petition states:
As an American citizen, I demand that Congress thoroughly investigate IRS actions targeting and intimidating Tea Party and conservative groups. This kind of politically motivated bullying and harassment by an agency of the federal government is a deplorable abuse of power. Those responsible should be fired immediately and face appropriate criminal prosecution, while any Obama administration official complicit in this outrageous IRS conduct should be removed from office. I also call on Congress to halt any increase in funding or staffing for the Internal Revenue Service for the duration of the Obama administration.

Maine House Reps Did NOT Nullify ObamaCare
ObamaCare is NOT Voided in Maine House of Reps
The House Reps in Augusta did a VERY BAD thing yesterday...and should be condemned for it! They voted 114-24 (13 absent) to NOT Nullify ObamaCare here in the state of Maine!
LD 680 (HP 472) expresses the findings of the Legislature that the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010, is in violation of the United States Constitution, Amendment X and, as such, is considered null and void in Maine. This bill prohibits a federal or state official, agent or employee from enforcing the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 or any other statute, law, rule, regulation or order made in connection with that Act. Violation by a federal official is a Class C crime, punishable by up to 5 years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000. Violation by a state official is a Class D crime, punishable by less than one year in jail and a fine of up to $2,000. The bill also allows a civil cause of action.
Here is the roll call vote so you can see who supports the Constitution and your rights, and who does not! (There were only 24 Republicans that stood up for We the People...we should let them know how much we appreciate their support!)
I apologize for the earlier post that said the House DID vote to nullify ObamaCare. It seems, instead of voting on the BILL...a straight up yes or no...there was a motion on the the floor that "It ought NOT to pass"...so you had to vote NO if you wanted the bill, and YES if you did NOT want the bill! So all of you who shared my earlier post...and to Jim Timberlake and the other 23 patriots who voted NO...my apologies for getting it wrong!
