The Tea Party Patriots will organize a mass "Audit the IRS Rally" on June 19th in Washington, D.C. with local and national Tea Party groups to protest the IRS's targeting of conservative organizations.
Jenny Beth Martin, the co-founder of Tea Party Patriots, told Breitbart News that the targeted witnesses that testified before the House Ways and Means Committee on Tuesday "showed the IRS discrimination and abuse had very real consequences on the local coordinators of the groups affected."
"These were not faceless, amorphous 'groups' but real Americans who wanted to peacefully assemble," Martin said. "Those in the hearings this week are a sample of the thousands of Americans who have been affected by the thuggish tactics of the IRS."
The Tea Party Patriots, a group that formed when the Tea Party movement officially launched in 2009, finally secured the permit to organize the event on Tuesday only after various delays. At one point in the permitting process, D.C. officials requested information from TPP in a serious of events the group's leaders said would make "your blood boil" if "you despise government bureaucracy and big government in general."
In an e-mail blast to local and national Tea Party groups on Tuesday, Tea Party Patriots noted that the rally, starting at noon on the 19th, was important because the IRS scandal is one that crosses party lines and impacts Republicans, independents, and Democrats.

I think we should make an IRS training video.
In orange jumpsuits and shackles.
Lets call it “The Frog March”.
How about 10 people in orange jumpsuits doing the bunny hop
I’ve been looking to see if the Tea Party Patriots have any deals with hotels set up. Can’t find any. I hope they hop on some sort of organization - else the turnout will be especially tiny considering the thing is on a Wednesday.
I read West lawn of the Capitol.
That’s where the last one was.
I wonder if Nancy will walk through with her gavel.
Doubt they will even get the license to assemble.
I agree that Wed. is not the best day for a rally but our representatives are not in DC on the weekends and a weekday represents a sacrifice that working people are willing to take. The past big protests have been on the weekend and maybe we will see a different result by showing up on a work day.
They didn’t need a warrant to snoop, why should the people need a license to assemble?
There's an amendment about that...
Hopefully!
One week from tomorrow, West lawn of the Capital. Let’s roll.
