IRS Threatened to Withhold Tax-Exemption If Pro-Life Group Promises Under Perjury to Not Protest Obama's Campaign Support Group, Planned Parenthood

“In one case, the IRS withheld approval of an application for tax exempt status for Coalition for Life of Iowa. In a phone call to Coalition for Life of Iowa leaders on June 6, 2009, the IRS agent ‘Ms. Richards’ told the group to send a letter to the IRS with the entire board’s signatures stating that, under perjury of the law, they do not picket/protest or organize groups to picket or protest outside of Planned Parenthood,” the Thomas More Society announced today. “Once the IRS received this letter, their application would be approved.”

That's a clear violation of freedom of speech, freedom to protest one's government, and freedom of assembly, not to mention, freedom to vote for whoever they want. Using the IRS as a pit bull threat is against everything this country was founded on, not to mention fought against in multiple wars.
