Update: High Noon TODAY: Nationwide IRS Abuse Protests! Here's Your Chance To Get Off Your Ass!!
[link to washingtonexaminer.com]

The organizers of Tea Party Patriots have called for a nationwide protest against the Internal Revenue Service to challenge the government agency’s abuse of power while targeting Tea Party groups.

The planned protests will take place at IRS offices around the country at noon on Tuesday. The Tea Party Patriots website highlights over 100 IRS offices where protests are planned.

Although many Tea Party groups exist, the Tea Party Patriots is one of the most influential coalitions with over 3,000 organized chapters.

The organization is sending out protest information, talking points, sample press releases, and sample sign messages, as grassroots organizers demand a Congressional investigation of the IRS.

Tea Party Patriots is also asking group organizers to report IRS abuses, by filling out a ‘Did the IRS target you?’ form.

Ours is going to be in front of the Federal Building. Think I'm gonna show up. This is a much saner way of protesting than following that idiot Adam whatshisname down the rabbit trail.

I know. Really not much notice, but I think the reasoning is you gotta hit the story while it's hot. Our media has an attention span that's worse than a toddler, so while the story is front and center we have to be as well. It's going to inconvenience me too, but I think it's too important to miss. The numbers will really matter, IMO, and this may be one of the last times we are free enough to do this.

To each their own, but here is my perspective:

"let them protest all they want, as long as they continue to pay their taxes" - U.S. General and former secretary of state.

"Everything on this earth shall be taxed" - Augustus Caesar

They act of protesting is another way they get something out of you for nothing. Like the "villians" in "pro" wrestling. You got dressed up, drove to the arena, got tickets, sodie pops, popcorn,etc. All tools you paid for yourself to boo loudly at the "bad guy"

This is directly related to the other issue Christians and governments wage spiritual war over. The government needs to show they can enforce the death penalty. Even if you are not christian you should know it costs 10 times more to execute a person than to keep them in prison for life. Do you see why they want people fired up over the death penalty thing? That skank who ganked her boyfreind as the grand finale to a multi-year "rough sex" session should not even make the back page of the news paper, but the MSM.gov has, and will run that story for months to make everyone "Want" the government to kill somebody. They already have the public consent for the run of the mill criminal. This is a new, golden opportunity for them to expand their permanent scope into the space of God. (full circle back to the social control of unjust taxation)

This is worse than rome.

The Tea Party Patriots are encouraged “anyone and everyone” to protest Internal Revenue Service offices on Tuesday in response to the agency’s targeting of conservative groups.

The group expects to hold these “Rein in the IRS Rallies” nationwide.

“On behalf of Tea Party, Patriot groups, 9/12, liberty activists, and the American people, we are calling for anyone and everyone to protest the IRS’ complete abuse of power on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at noon local time,” the group writes on their website.

To help facilitate the protests, the Tea Party Patriots provides a nationwide list of IRS offices and addresses on their website.

“The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is out of control and we need to stand up and let them know that we will not take their intimidation tactics!” the group explains.

Tea Party Patriots also provides templates for letters to newspaper editors, tweets, press announcements, sign messages, blog posts, talking points and letters to senators for local groups to use.

“Audit the IRS!” says one suggested sign template. “Stop the targeting!” says another.

The group is also encouraging activists to tweet messages like “IRS scandal is exactly why the fed gov’t needs less authority.” Participants in the protests are encouraged to end their tweets with the hashtag “#DCIntervention.”

In addition to the protests, the Tea Party Patriots are calling on people to sign a petition demanding answers from the government and a full congressional investigation of the IRS, and are encouraging other organizations who felt they were targeted to let the group know.

Isn't the IRS an illegitimate foreign trust run offshore in Puerto Rico?

I read that this is the main reason why PR's get to receive Social Security benefits, foodstamps, and medicaid/medicare but that the territory can never become a US State because of the IRS being a foreign (Rothschilds Trust Acct.).

Anyone else research that?

It is the ultimate example of passive aggressive borderline personality disorder. Distilled into an institution. An old timer once told me that if we did not let them do it this way, these exact same people would have and/or be members of private armies like the days of feudalism. Roaming, raping and pillaging.

The only advantage to this system is that both their and your actions are recorded for history to judge. And for young people to change based on evidence and reason. Most psychos don't care how they will be remembered, but some actually do.

People in Germany cheered the architects and implementors of facism. Watched some MSNBC this weekend. The host kept asking his liberal panelists if anybody cares about the IRS scandal.

One reporter said "well if the president is outraged, many people will be interested"

The host said "yeah, but really this is not a big deal"

Another reporter sheepishly (remember this is their paycheck) said "Well sometimes journalism is about reporting on stories because they turn into to something bigger later, and the public should know"

The host said "yeah but really, there are so many more important things to talk about"

Reporter said "Well watergate was shoved to the back page for 6 months, and it was important to democracy to eventually get that story out"

The host said "Well this is not like watergate. Next up the Ed Show with Ed Schultz, he is going to talk about ...."

Banks can't fractionate or loan out US Notes .... They need you to endorse Federal Reserve Notes .... The piece of paper serves as both (there are two seals for this reason)

Since you are free you decide what you trade the bill for (your paycheck is a bond or bill depending on you) The Government can not give value to securities only you can.

Also, notice the oath of a US officer on your voting form ... you've already agreed your an employee ....
