The IRS wants to control your freedom of speech and freedom of association. Now, the FCC is moving forward with a “Multi-Market Study of Critical Information Needs” (CIN) to monitor the flow of news from our nation’s newsrooms.
The Obama administration has our speech, association, and press rights in its crosshairs! This is becoming frighteningly similar to the way in which fascist regimes have historically consolidated power.
The Obama administration’s growing desire to control the free flow of information, political thought, and public speech through federal oversight should alarm every American!
These anti-liberty thrusts are hallmarks of fascism!
Fascism is defined as being a form of radical authoritarian nationalism.
At its core, fascism aims to control a nation through a totalitarian, centralized government that promotes mass mobilization toward a single political ideology. Fascist regimes encourage veneration of a single leader or a small group of leaders.
At this point, there can be little doubt that President Barack Obama is using key components of the fascist playbook in running his administration. Consider these chilling facts…
- He desires to move the country dramatically left based on his personal vision and ideology.
- He displays an arrogant intolerance toward opposing viewpoints and seeks to suppress and/or destroy his adversaries.
- He has repeatedly trampled the Constitution, the bedrock of our system of government, and the seat of the people’s power.
- He rules by decree and openly declares that he alone will unilaterally move the nation “forward.”
- Our federal government is ballooning to an unprecedented size and scope of authority.
- The Obama administration now intends to become the Big Brother of thought, speech, and the flow of information.
First, the administration employed the IRS to target their political adversaries. Now, the FCC has been deployed to monitor the flow of information from America’s newsrooms – all in the name of “fairness.” We are closely watching the FCC’s planned actions!
++The most immediate threat centers in the IRS.
Our First Amendment rights are under assault! President Obama wants to control and/or limit your freedom of speech, inhibit your freedom of association, and strongly influence the flow of information that you receive.
To achieve this, the administration intends to drive a knife through the heart of its political opposition. For instance, the proposed new IRS regulations would muzzle the conservative and pro-family movement by silencing the 501(c)(4) organizations that give it a voice in public affairs.
These outrageous IRS regulations are a “gag order” aimed at conservative Americans. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) issued a strong warning about the proposed directives…
“What these proposed rules are going to do… is to institutionalize the role of the IRS as the speech police, something we ought to avoid like the plague. The last thing we need to do is to support the IRS becoming the speech police and suppressing the constitutional, protected rights of the American people.”
++Congress calls for a one-year delay.
A group of Republican Senators recently introduced the “Stop Targeting of Political Beliefs by the IRS Act.” The bill is spearheaded by Senators Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and Pat Roberts (R-KS), and is cosponsored by 37 others.
Senator Roberts defined the threat his way…
“It is clear the IRS has no capacity to regulate political activity without running roughshod over people’s fundamental constitutional rights.”
Congressman Dave Camp (R-MI) introduced a similar measure in the House of Representatives.
I believe that these congressional initiatives were prompted in large part by our petitions and faxes to Capitol Hill. We have been sounding the alarm about these appalling regulations since December!
++Sign our powerful Stop the IRS War on Conservatives petition!

There can be no doubt that under the Obama administration, the IRS’ has become a political arm of the radical left.
These new IRS regulations are in direct opposition to the Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission in 2010, which President Obama swore he would contravene. The proposed regulations are an egregious violation of the High Court’s ruling!
The core missions of organizations like Liberty Counsel Action, the Freedom Federation and other pro-liberty 501 (c)(4) organizations are in jeopardy!
Your ability to speak in a unified voice through LCA and other organizations will be severely repressed if the regulations are implemented.
What’s more, the new set of regulations exempts prominent liberal lobbying groups like labor unions! This is just the beginning of IRS “selective enforcement.”
These Orwellian tactics crafted by the Obama administration are extremely dangerous to the free speech of every American while being interpreted and enforced by the brute power of the Internal Revenue Service under the direction of Obama political appointees.
Your voice, unified with tens of thousands of other Liberty Counsel Action team members, will be silenced if these regulations go into effect!
I urge you today to add your name to our petition, which we will deliver to Congress next week. Go here to register your support:

God bless you,

P.S. Barack Obama’s use of fascist tactics to force America to the left is intolerable! The suppression of free speech, the hindering of free association, and attempts to control of the flow of information are among the extreme methods being used to build a totalitarian regime right here in America.
Please, be sure to sign our petition to Stop the IRS War on Conservatives today!
