Dear Friends,
Many Americans across the country are rightfully upset by reports that IRS officials intentionally targeted conservative groups for additional screenings. The abuse of authority and violation of trust by IRS officials is deeply troubling. The individuals responsible must be held accountable and anyone who is found to have broken the law must be prosecuted.
I have called for a special prosecutor to be appointed to independently investigate the allegations against the IRS. An independent prosecutor is needed to fully and fairly investigate the IRS’s actions and determine whether senior Administration officials were involved. In the absence of a special prosecutor, Congress is determined to pursue and investigate the allegations that IRS employees discriminated against conservative organizations by targeting them for additional screening.
This week, Congress is holding three hearings to further examine the allegations against the IRS. Information about each of the hearings can be found below.
We will follow the facts wherever they lead and ensure that the constitutional rights of American citizens are protected. To receive regular updates on what Congress is doing to hold the IRS accountable, please sign up for my E-Newsletter, visit my website or follow me on Facebook and Twitter. As always, please do not hesitate to contact my office at 202-225-4236 to share your views.
Sincerely,

It appears today that the Labor Dept also needs a special investigation into it, as charges are being made of an attempt to “shake” down the Associated Press recently for $1 million for information!!

For Obama to suggest “the war on terror is over” is to suggest a cover up of his actions

It appears that the Chicago Mob has completely taken over our Federal Administration, and has been “Shaking us all Down” for quite sometime now.
When do you all figure something will finally be done about it. I’ve tried, but my senator and con-gressman are frankenfeinstein and low-freghren, two of this largest wastes of skin to date.

Who is this imbucile named Carl that is the voice of this rag tag outfit PP Simmons? He missed his calling as a stand up comedian! He made the statement that Mike Zullo is the one that should be credited with uncovering all of the acts of fraud & forgery committed by Soebarkah! LOL! All of us that have stayed informed on this issue from the beginning know that it was you and your investigative team & expert witnesses that uncovered it all long before Zullo even got involved with it. This guy Carl is an uninformed fool.

Dear Sir,
I applaud the government in investigating the IRS issues surrounding the targeting of conservative groups and I agree that their alleged acts against such conservative parties is completely unconstitutional and it aids in the public’s perception that the U.S. has inherently become a police state where life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness no longer exists because of governmental interference. It is equally important to address the rumors that President Obama has been using a stolen social security number on his taxes. It is essential that Congress investigates this rumor with the IRS and the SSA.
We must remind ourselves that Congress has more power than the President and his administration. The President is merely a figure head to do the will of Congress- a Congress that hears from the people of America on a regular basis. Congress has to maintain their credibility in order for the U.S. to maintain their freedom. Congress must respond to accusations made by the American people regarding President Obama’s true eligibility to be the leader of the United States.
Many people may refer to “birthers” as people that are crazy or people that are misguided. I am here to tell you that educated people in America question the authenticity of President Obama’s documentation that is required to sit for the Presidential office. I have a Masters degree in Public Health and I know many people in academia and in the health field that are appalled because they feel the Congress of the United States is failing the American People. There is no more room for ignorance. The truth will come out and those that fail to do their job (i.e. people in Congress, the courts, and law enforcement) will be held accountable for their inaction. Our government is aware of this issue and it will not be swept under the rug by true patriots in America.
Even if it takes 5, 10, 15, 20 more years for the truth to come out, the American people will be steadfast in trying people for treason if it is established that Mr. Obama is using a stolen social security number. Many groups are recruiting young candidates for office and many up and coming politicians agree that they will address this issue if It is not done now. As an average American and citizen of the United States workforce the issue of whether or not President Obama is a true U.S. citizen comes up frequently and frankly, many Americans are outraged because it appears Congress is doing nothing about this issue.
I am writing you today sir to ask that Congress investigate the possibility that President Obama used stolen and forged documentation to run for office and subsequently to sit in office. I know that finding out that a person forged their way to the highest office in the country would cause a great fall out in our nation but the patriotic and responsible thing to do is to determine what is truthful….we must determine the facts. Me telling you that President Obama may have used forged or stolen information is just as important as his office saying he didn’t. In the end, I have just words and the President has just words. Neither one of us are correct until all of his documentation has been examined by the experts for forgery or theft of information. With all due respect sir, I do not think it is a lot for our elected representatives to determine if the issue has validity. You hear continuous complaints about these topics so they do need to be addressed.
May I suggest that you have a closed meeting with your fellow members of Congress in order to determine how to proceed on this matter? Because when the truth comes out, and if the truth is that Obama has lied to the American people then he will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law along with the people of Congress because they turned their heads the other way. I would hope that you and your fellow Congressmen and women would not want to spend your retirement years in prison for treasonous acts. I personally would not want my family name to be the next Benedict Arnold of future generations. The shame that would come to your family name is not something many people would like.
I say if he is innocent in these accusations then there should be no problem forming an independent investigative group to really look into his documentation. If he resists then he has something to hide in my opinion. President Obama did say that he wanted to have a transparent government, so why not be transparent? This letter is being written to you as a concerned citizen of the United States. This letter in no way is meant to accuse you of a crime but rather to inform you that a crime may be occurring within the executive branch of our government. I surely hope that you as an American citizen will investigate President Obama’s background to ensure that our constitution is being followed. President Washington and many of our forefathers lost their family members and their friends fighting to establish our nation and to keep it sovereign to the people. Are you willing to be as great as President Washington?
Sincerely,
Lisa Poe

At Sharon Rondeau’s THE POST & EMAIL many months ago, a reader wrote in how a WWII Purple Heart recipient had called an otherwise “conservative” Tea Party-backed Congressman about Obama identity fraud.
Said Congressman, who, if memory serves, had been a professor at West Point,got on the phone personally with the former American soldier.
When the Veteran from the Greatest Generation put the congressman on the spot, the elected official curtly said, “Well, he HAS a Birth Certificate, doesn’t he?”
I am sure more than one reader empathized with the frustration that citizen, wounded for the Nation, Freedom and Liberty in his youth, felt with that kind of a “brush off” which had NOTHING to do with the Constitutional requirement for President!
Certainly that “brush off” had nothing to do with reports, even then, of forgery and identity theft.
If “conservative” officials can be that rude to World War II veterans, albeit World War II Purple Heart recipients, then we know that only the bravest and the most prescient will stand up for their Nation.
Many of the Republicans and Democrats, with noble and praise worthy exceptions for sure, seem to have morphed into something out of that black and white horror flick called “THE BLOB!”
