The Internal Revenue Service is still discriminating against the First Amendment rights of Christians and conservatives. Responding to a complaint from an atheist group that won a court decision, the IRS has agreed to monitor churches for "electioneering."
Additional proof of the agency's unconstitutional treatment of conservatives was also revealed yesterday, when congressional investigators released incriminating emails from Lois Lerner. In the correspondence, the IRS' former head of tax exempt groups refers to conservatives as "crazies," and uses foul language to describe them.
The Obama administration continues to execute a strong, determined strategy to silence conservative and Christian voices across America. Find out what steps you can take to derail those efforts by reading my important update below— Mat.
Conservatives,
Just when most people thought Internal Revenue Service targeting couldn't get any worse, this shocking headline appeared on FOX News yesterday:
IRS agrees to investigate the political activity of churches
As part of a July 18 settlement with an atheist group, the IRS says it will monitor churches and houses of worship for "electioneering" on behalf of candidates, issues, and legislation. The same federal agency that's been under intense congressional scrutiny for illegally targeting conservative, pro-Israel, and Tea Party groups has, unbelievably, hit a new low.
Liberals and the left-wing media want you and me to believe there's "nothing there" when it comes to IRS attacks against conservatives. They've spent nearly two years villifying Republicans for "wasting taxpayer money" trying to get to the bottom of the IRS targeting scandal.
But the Left was proven wrong again this week when the House Ways and Means Committee revealed more incriminating emails from ex-IRS official Lois Lerner. In the electronic exchange with an unidentified colleague, the then-director of the agency's Exempt Organizations Unit used off-color, demeaning language when referring to conservatives.
It's no surprise that Ms. Lerner twice took the Fifth Amendment when called to testify before Congress. Yet, despite mounting evidence against her, as well as a House resolution holding her in Contempt of Congress, Attorney General Eric Holder has refused repeated requests by Republican lawmakers for the Justice Department to launch a "serious investigation" of Ms. Lerner.
+ + Conservatives need to take action to stop this president's radical and reckless agenda and defend America against his socialist and leftist assaults.
In
Barack Obama's America, religious and individual freedom are being
trampled beneath the perceived interests of the State. The outright
hostility this administration and its agencies have shown against people
of faith is literally unprecedented.
The central question facing America's Christians is whether conservatives will take action against Barack Obama's radical and reckless plan of "fundamentally transforming" our nation. Are grassroots patriots willing to defend the United States against the socialist ideals of the leftist currently occupying the White House? I say, "Yes!"

Squashing biblical perspectives in the public square has always been the goal of those who fear the influence of pastors, church leaders, and other people of faith. With the help of Liberty Counsel friends, like you, I want to remove government-santioned muzzles and replace them with megaphones!
+ + Our Pastors & Patriots program empowers churches to confront assaults on our culture, faith, and freedom.
America's pastors are our front-line warriors in the fight to save our nation. They have the ability and opportunity to rally, inform, and equip grassroots patriots to rise up and stop the abuses aimed at people of faith.
The church must be empowered to confront the assaults on our culture, our faith, and our freedom. America desperately needs pastors, church leaders, and lay people willing to do all they can to protect life and liberty.
We have developed a powerful Action Pack containing an authoritative DVD and other important materials to send pastors between now and November in battleground states and strategic sponsored areas. Liberty Counsel wants to encourage pastors and congregations to boldly address biblical and moral issues, while also educating them about the IRS rules on political and lobbying activity.

battleground states, and in other strategic communities across this
great nation! Go here to make your best gift now:
