The Obama administrations Treasury Department and former IRS official Lois Lerner conspired to draft new 501(c)(4) regulations to restrict the activity of conservative groups in a way that would not be disclosed publicly, according to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
The Treasury Department and Lerner started devising the new rules off-plan, meaning that their plans would not be published on the public schedule. They planned the new rules in 2012, while the IRS targeting of conservative groups was in full swing, and not after the scandal broke in order to clarify regulations as the administration has suggested.
The rules place would place much more stringent controls on what would be considered political activity by the IRS, effectively limiting the standard practices of a wide array of non-profit groups.
Dont know who in your organizations is keeping tabs on c4s, but since we mentioned potentially addressing them (off -plan) in 2013, Ive got my radar up and this seemed interesting
, Treasury official Ruth Madrigal wrote in a June 14, 2012 email to Lerner and others obtained by Ways and Means and provided to The Daily Caller.

Oh. From the other thread. Haven’t found it yet. I just remember there was an apparently young girl born in the middle ages to an alchemist father who discovered an elixer of life that only worked before puberty, suppressed puberty, broke down if exposed to light, and this kid had been hanging out at the fringes for centuries. Wasn’t there for any of the major event (what kid is?) but did smell tear gas once in Berkeley in the 60’s. Pretty thin criteria for a web search. I think I read the story in Analog, and thought it was by David Palmer (not the correct author apparently).
When I get home I might wade through my Analog collection and see if anything rings a bell.

Cities were better placed to cope in hard times than country sides. more food to steal, easier to fade into the background, etc.

No problem, haven’t read in in probably decades and didn’t give you much to work with. Perhaps as I mull it over more details will surface. (Like the title??? The title would be nice!)

.......But Madrigals email to Lerner proves that the regulations were being developed long before the IRS needed to publicly put anything to rest. At least 292 conservative groups were subjected to unfair targeting between 2010 and 2012, against six liberal groups that were allegedly given similar treatment. They are both over-broad and under-inclusive, said Foley & Lardner LLP partner Cleta Mitchell on the new rules. Theyve taken everything that 501(c)(4) organizations do in the normal course of business and proposed to convert that all to candidate-related activity, even if a candidate is never mentioned. Mitchell said that the rules are being rushed through for political purposes. The objective is to get the rules in place before the 2014 election, Mitchell said Read more: http://dailycaller.com/2014/02/05/email-irss-lerner-treasury-department-secretly-drafted-new-rules-to-restrict-nonprofits/#ixzz2sUfmSuFI
....................... Looks like the targeting was fair and balanced. They targeted 292 conservative groups and 6 liberal groups.In liberal land that's fair and balanced. This entire obama govt. is a huge joke.
