They're free to do it - they just have to pay taxes on it."

It was a common tactic of Clinton-Gore to sic the IRS on any and all opposing political organizations. Since the Democrats have raised the political sewage in America to new levels, the Republicans MUST regrettably respond in a like manner – that means George W. Bush must make that call to the IRS. I’m afraid that Mark R. Levin of Landmark does not carry much weight with the IRS.

Au contraire (apologies for using french), the more appropriate and fair thing to do would be to thoroughly investigate the entire list of Federally registered organizations to determine if any of these illegally petion and campaign for candidates / parties using workers dues, contributors money et. al. without their knowledge and consent. Those that do will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and / or have their Federal charter revoked. This could cause some damage for organizations paying fast-n-loose that support conservative causes but will instill great fear in the vast majority of liberal organizations that do not have legit operations. Since the laws are known by all ahead of time and justice is uniform, no-one can claim they are receiving undo harassment unlike under the Clinton adminstration.

The effects of such a policy would be reverberating for election cycles for generations.
