Suggested Text of E-Mail Message
“The IRS has received 1,628 pages of documents that substantiate that the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) - - a Public Charity - - has engaged in excessive, prohibited, and under-reported lobbying activities, and may have under-reported its revenue by over $500 Million. For example, the HSUS President and CEO has stated that he has “helped to pass perhaps 1,000 laws.”
In a Joint Letter dated April 18, 2011, which was addressed to the Inspector General of the Treasury Department, Six U.S. Representatives (Hartzler, Emerson, Luetkemeyer, Graves and Long from Missouri, and Young from Alaska) stated: “we write to request investigations by the Inspector General into HSUS’s apparent improper activities and its tax-exempt status.” They further stated: “If the HSUS is not complying with the law, it should be investigated and disciplined just like any other organization.”
With a National Debt of over $61 Trillion, our Government needs to maintain the integrity of the U.S. Tax Code. As your constituent, I am requesting that you confirm that you have sent a similar letter on my behalf to the Inspector General of the Department of the Treasury.”
Thank You.
NOTE: If your U.S. Representative is either Representative Hartzler, Emerson, Luetkemeyer, Graves or Long from MO, or Representative Young from AK, your E-Mail Message should simply say: “THANK YOU for your Joint Letter to the Treasury’s Inspector General!!!!”
