The IRS is now telling conservative groups that they can’t mention a candidates name within 30 days of an election! In other words putting tape over their mouths. The rule would prohibit the simple mention of a candidate’s name within 60 days of a general election or 30 days of a primary – even if the mention has nothing to do with the election! If your Member of Congress introduces a great immigration bill or a terrible amnesty bill within 30 days of his/her primary, under the proposed rule, we wouldn’t be able to tell you about it. The IRS thinks it’s shutting down inappropriate electioneering by certain 501(c)(4) groups, but in reality, it’s granting elected officials immunity from public accountability. Non-profits like NumbersUSA, the Sierra Club, the National Rifle Association, the League of Conservation Voters, and even the pro-amnesty National Council of La Raza would all be silenced, and we’re all speaking out against it.
