Republicans at one time severely criticized Obama’s abuse of the Internal Revenue Service to go after conservative and Tea ...

First responders were called to a Kansas City, Missouri IRS building when 8-10 people complained of chest pains, nausea, and vomiting after handling an 8×12″ envelope that had arrived in the mail room.

An article published last Wednesday said current and former IRS officials are afraid to testify on criminal actions against Tea Party groups because they believe it “could put their lives in danger.” They believe their “safety” takes precedence over the public’s right to know.

  I wrote a series of articles about the Fair Tax in 2011 but never got them put out.  I sent them to a few politicians but never got a response and had forgotten I wrote them until recently.  I hope they resonate with people and the Fair Tax will be implemented.
