Organizers mobilizing for demonstrations Tuesday at agency buildings
Prompted by the admission by the Internal Revenue Service that tea-party groups and other conservative organizations seeking non-profit, tax-exempt status were targets of discrimination, the tea-party movement is mobilizing like-minded citizens to hold demonstrations in front of IRS buildings across the nation at noon, local time, Tuesday.
“I’ll bet this is gonna be huge,” said talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh on his show Monday. “It’s entirely possible that people are going to see once again just how big and how deep the tea party is.”
Nothing tells the story of the tea-party movement better than the “Tea Party” movie. The inspiring and powerful story gets to the heart of why “We the People” are taking our country back!
Limbaugh’s promotion of the protest drew such a strong response that the Tea Party Patriots website was overwhelmed and inaccessible for a period of time.
A call to protest by Tea Party Patriots urges: “The Internal Revenue Service is out of control and we need to stand up and let them know that we will not take their intimidation tactics!”
The group lists the addresses of IRS offices nationwide.
In the “talking points” of its protest tool kit, Tea Party Patriots charges the IRS has been dishonest and unwilling to exercise accountability.
The Inspector General’s report, the group notes, found that the IRS began targeting organizations with the word “patriot” or “tea party” in their names in February 2010.
The issue was confronted in a 2011 hearing by the House Ways & Means Committee, but the IRS commissioner insisted no targeting was taking place, even though he had been briefed about the agency’s practice of denying or delaying the applications of conservative groups.

The Tea Party wasn’t ‘dead’.
SnakeDoc
No not dead at all..
quietly planing under the radar?
Oh ya.
2014 elections should be interesting.
TP is not having one in my town. Too bad, can’t make time to drive to Dallas on such short notice.
Anyone have any reports on turnout at any of the rallies?
There was not a soul protesting in Dallas say people I know who work there at the federal building.
Probably stayed home due to expected storms.
The only reason they were “dead” was because the IRS suppressed them.
There really needs to be some dire consequences for those involved.
Yep, not a good day to be standing around outside.
Hope to hear of better from places away from Tornado Alley.
The demonstrations would be a lot bigger if the members weren’t at work supporting the country’s freeloaders.
Protests are all well and good, I’m pleased to see them as they are done on the “Rule of Law”. Which brings up a point that a friend of mine recently expressed.
The IRS and yes all of the Civilian Branches of Government, Local, State and Federal really only are allowed to operate under the “Rule of Law”. Yet as we see reported over and over again many of these organizations act in a “extra-legal” manner. That’s a cheap way of saying that they act in a manner similar to the Feral Urban Youths playing the “Knock-out Game”. The consequences of either set of actions is similar too. People’s lives are damaged, destroyed and sometimes they DIE.
The day is rapidly approaching I fear, that WROL will be the norm. And as we have seen in other locales around the Globe when that situation arises, there are people who take advantage of it to redress their issues that were not addressed when “Rule of Law” was the norm.
