FreedomWorks Applauds House Passage of Free Speech Bill

Following the passage of the Preventing IRS Abuse and Protecting Free Speech Act (H.R. 5053), FreedomWorks CEO Adam Brandon commented:

“Passage of this bill by the House is an important step in opposing political intimidation from the IRS. This powerful and corrupt tax agency should not be in a position to leak donor names to try to chill free speech. The Senate should take up this legislation immediately to help protect a healthy public policy discourse and rein in the IRS.”
