In November, the IRS announced that it would completely transform the 501(c)(4) classification used by groups organized for the purposes of "social welfare." 

What happens when one voices opposition to “big government?” Under President Obama, you may be targeted by the Internal Revenue Service.

They will audit you, show up at your place of employment and sic other executive agencies on your family or business.

Now, the Obama administration intends to unilaterally modify the tax code in further efforts to silence political speech.

In November, the IRS announced that it would completely transform the 501(c)(4) classification used by groups organized for the purposes of “social welfare.”

From veterans' organizations to civic education programs, many important nonprofits fall under this designation.

Currently, contributions to these organizations are not tax deductible for their donors, but these groups are not required to pay taxes to the U.S. federal government.
