IRS demands Ron Paul's list of donors.

[TomtheTinker]

Ron Paul group to defy IRS

"There is no legitimate reason for the IRS to know who donates to Campaign for Liberty," Megan Stiles, the communications director at Campaign for Liberty, told the Washington Examiner in an email on Tuesday. "We believe the First Amendment is on our side as evidenced by cases such as NAACP v. Alabama and International Union UAW v. National Right to Work. Many 501(c)(4) organizations protect the privacy of their donors in the very same way as Campaign for Liberty. For some reason the IRS has now chosen to single out Campaign for Liberty for special attention. We plan to fight this all the way."

Ron Paul's nonprofit Campaign for Liberty will fight the Internal Revenue Service's demand that it reveal its donor list to the agency, despite having already been fined for refusing to do so.

There is absolutely no reason for the IRS to have this information. None.

Your lack of compliance is disturbing comrade.

You are reported.

[LibertyEagle]

I told you guys I'd check to see if this was for real and yes, unfortunately, it is.

[Anti Federalist]

There is absolutely no reason for the IRS to have this information. None.

Seriously though, of course there is a reason.

The continuing compilation of lists of AmeriKans who are, or could potentially be, troublemakers.

Freedom.

Ahhhhhhhh, there! That's better ...

[satchelmcqueen]

this is ridiculous. at least i know ron wont budge on this one.

[phill4paul]

Ahhhhhhhh, there! That's better ...

Yes. Thank you for the gentle correction.

[phill4paul]

Your lack of compliance is disturbing comrade.

You are reported.

Considering I've gone several years now without communicating with the bastards I'm pretty sure they already are aware.

[FindLiberty]

They might just be planning to merge the potus's weely kill list with the RP contributor list to create a nice new TO DO List.

[DaninPA]

Molon Labe, bitches.

[cajuncocoa]

Surprised?

[Dianne]

YES !!!!!!! Actually I heard half the IRS are being "let go", because not enough filing tax returns under Obozo's regime ...

If anything goes down on this... like Feds with 10 hours of training, hiding behind their vehicles ... let me know ... I think I can hide behind my car door too .... shit ... my car door is General Motors !!!!!!! That's ok, I'm sure Eric Holder has my back.

[angelatc]

This is a bigger deal than I thought it was. They're intentionally breaking the law in order to challenge the law. Go C4L!

[NoOneButPaul]

Were getting closer and closer to the real Revolution folks... Rand is our only hope.

[amy31416]

My ex worked for a public library and when the Patriot Act passed and required them to turn over patron records, they started destroying the records.

You can't give what you don't have.

[Brian4Liberty]

This is a direct attack on the First Amendment by the Marxists.

Does anyone know if they paid this fine they already received? It would irk me to know a percentage of my donations was given to the IRS to pay this fine that shouldn't have been made.

[Dr.3D]

Seems like this would be a pretty good indicator that there is no need to keep a list of donors. In fact, it's a bad idea to keep a list of donors.

Sounds like Ron could use a couple of real kick ass lawyers.

[Superfly]

Well of course they want information on the liberty crowd. That's the biggest threat to the leviathan.

My inclination is to find an IRS complaint number and let them know, en masse, that we aren't very enthused about this idea.

[Paulbot99]

Never stop fighting them.

I'm sure I missed it by now. I hope somebody has a tube of it though.

"Mrs. Lerner, has the IRS targeted 'tea party' and 'liberty' and conservative groups?"

Sure go ahead, send them your info...

I actually operate under the assumption that everything I do is being watched, analyzed, and stored. It helps me carefully construct a mountain of history that I can be ready to stand up and defend at any point in my life. Not that it always works out like that, but it helps.

From the end matter of The Most Dangerous Superstition:


A Note About the Copyright ...

A “copyright” is usually an implied threat (“Don’t copy this, or else!”). While I hope that anyone who likes this book will buy additional copies from me, if someone does copy this book without my permission, that would not make me feel justified in using force against that person, or, my own or via “government.” I copyrighted the book primarily so that no one else could copyright it and thereby use the violence of the state to prevent me from distributing it.

[mad cow]

Then why the 12 bucks?Give it away.Every Anarchist here seems happy to point out every 'contradiction' by liberty-minded candidates we are trying to get elected as some sort of mortal sin.
I just thought I would point that out.

[Occam's Banana]

Then why the 12 bucks? Give it away.

It *is* being given away. I provided a link to a free PDF of the book.
Did you really not bother to read (or try to understand) what he said?
"I hope that anyone who likes this book will buy additional copies from me [...]"

Because physical objects like printed & bound books cost money to produce.
Because he'd like to make a little cash from those willing to pay him for his efforts.
Because [any number of things].

Being "anti-IP" does NOT require one to be unwilling to accept money from people who want to pay you for something.

There is NO contradiction in this.


Every Anarchist here seems happy to point out every 'contradiction' by liberty-minded candidates we are trying to get elected as some sort of mortal sin.
I just thought I would point that out.

I am an "Anarchist here" - I generally support Rand, Amash, Massie, etc. There are others who do so as well.
For example, FSP-Rebel is also an "Anarchist here" - and he is one of Rand's staunchest & most avid supporters.
So please provide the evidence for your accusation that he and I "point out every 'contradiction' by liberty-minded candidates [...]."
Otherwise, you are talking out of your ass and needlessly stirring shit up. I just thought I would point that out.

Uhh... in order to raise money you have to have a list of donors so that you know who to ask to contribute.

[Dr.3D]

Uhh... in order to raise money you have to have a list of donors so that you know who to ask to contribute.
People shouldn't need to be asked for contributions. If people want to contribute, they will.
Myself, I won't contribute to an organization that sends me solicitations for funds.

Well, the onus rests with us because we are the ones in the position of respondent. Theye transgress and put the ball in our court. What do we do? We demur. The tacit message here is that we accept the transgression as legitimate. That is on each and very one of us.

Consider the great "victory" in Nevada... Not. The moment an agent placed hands on one of the defenders the ball was in the defender's court. IMO they should have brought the fight right back at them. They chose differently. Their decision.

Speaking purely theoretically, failing to answer trespass when one is otherwise capable seems to lend credibility to the trespasser's claim to authority. While in reality this may not be true upon argument, it does give tyrants and their willing agents (courts, e.g.) a
toehold from which to advance corrupt objectives via the lousy reasoning based on the tacitly presumed "failure". It is as lousy as it gets but it is commonly employed as the past 200++ years of rotten SCOTUS decisions attest.

But this is exactly what would have happened falsely to Ron Paul if he won.
