Thanks for the answer, I was just curious about whether the IRS or other government agencies might have ever tried to impede the free exchange of opinion here on FR.
Secret Service:
Oh, no! DFU reported to the FBI again! (Well, the other times were actually the Secret Service)

I am not sure if that is an answer though. What I posted came from the FR homepage. You'll have to ask Jim Robinson if the IRS impeded FR or ever asked for donation lists to intimidate members directly. I donate to FR and I really do not care if the IRS knows or not. If the IRS comes knocking at my door, they will not receive a pleasant reception.
Revolutions have been started over less and I am willing to be part of a much needed revolution whether peaceably or not.
That may sound whacked out, but I sincerely believe the 2a exists to insure the 1a exists. That's the responsibility we have as citizens of a Republic. Our founding fathers knew exactly what they were doing, as the Bill of Rights were written after the revolution and one failed form of government.
