The Obama administration launched an attempt Tuesday to limit the same class of politically active non-profit groups the IRS was accused of targeting last summer.
Under the proposed new rules, organizations that fall under the tax-exempt 501(c)(4) umbrella would also be more clearly identified during campaigns. The new guidance would curtail activities such as running ads, distributing campaign literature and other get-out-the-vote initiatives.
The groups in question are able to raise millions of dollars to influence elections.
Smaller organizations that are similarly classified were the subject of unfair targeting practices earlier this year by IRS employees, leading to the eventual resignations of several senior IRS officials.
However, it could be several years before any regulations are finalized, meaning the groups could likely still raise millions before next year’s elections.

Freedom is not to be limited because the conscience, beliefs, and speech of another differs, or refutes, the ideas of the prevailing political power.
Across the centuries, those in power have attempted to limit, curtail or discourage freedom of conscience and freedom of speech. The following quotation reminds us of Helen Keller's insight into the nature of ideas and of the "tyrants" who sometimes hope to curb expression of those ideas.
Enduring truths are strange: they are the same from generation to generation.

Helen Keller's Response to Nazi Book-Burning
To the Student Body of Germany, May 9, 1933
"History has taught you nothing if you think you can kill ideas. Tyrants have tried to do that often before, and the ideas have risen up in their might and destroyed them."You can burn my books and the books of the best minds in Europe, but the ideas in them have seeped through a million channels, and will continue to quicken other minds. I gave all the royalties of my books to the soldiers blinded in the World War with no thought in my heart but love and compassion for the Germany people."
