Got it today. I guess my e-mail telling them I was not a member of the Tea Party did the trick. Tom Hollister, CA

Tell them thank you from me and my family. Enjoy your family this weekend.

That would be my husband who just got home from Texas. Also, my brother who is visiting for a couple of days.

I can only hope that what should have been a simple poll is not going to be another thread that devolves into a political rants. There should have been no need for any commentary, and I thought I included enough choices to allow most of our forum's users to select appropriate answers. I do respect that each and every one of you has the right to express your views, whichever side of the aisle you agree with, but this shouldn't be happening across so many threads in the forums. Could we please try to stick to the topics of the original threads? Many of the threads are being derailed with this type of commentary or pointed questions that lead the conversations off topic or into debates on politics. The above 4 posts add nothing except to incite political banter, which all but a few are participating in, and it is really getting tiresome. That is the reason why we have "N/T" in the title of threads that aren't tax related, so that those of us who try to stay out of the political discussions can do so, but that is getting very difficult. Thanks, after the first thread that I chose to look at on here, now I'm in a really bad mood! /rant

Now we find out from the IG report that they also went after groups with “Jewish,” “Limited Government” or “Constitution” in their names. Is it getting closer to being scary for you?

You are right, this sort of thing is very wrong, no matter what the 'leaning' of the organization. As long as the organization is following the rules, which for political groups means 'educational' activities, I think they should be allowed the status.
