Tea party asks Congress to help against IRS

The WH would put Al Capone to shame.

Tea-party groups are asking Congress to investigate their concern that the Internal Revenue Service is following a political agenda by flooding them with demands for information before granting tax-exempt status.

A recent request came from Jamie Radtke, a Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Virginia, who asked Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., to look into the unfair treatment she believes tea-party groups have been getting from the IRS.

According to the Daily Caller, Radtke reported that after two and a half years of processing, the IRS “recently communicated a new set of overly burdensome and invasive demands for information that exceed the scope of the IRS code.”

Radtke, the Daily Caller reported, is a former president of the Richmond Tea Party. She said the latest demand includes 12 more questions in 53 separate parts, requiring copies of Facebook pages, names of donors, information about exactly how grants are spent and many other details.
