[quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't really know much about this group. It was founded in 2005 though, so I expect Obama had little to do with its tax status.

Can you please answer the question of how the Tea Party groups meet the definition of the law?[/quote]

True the Vote is a group that the left has identified as a “tea party” organization.  Here is the description of their work:

https://www.truethevote.org/aboutus
[quote]As the nation’s largest nonpartisan, voters’ rights and election integrity organization, True the Vote exists to inspire and equip volunteers for involvement at every stage of America’s electoral process. We provide training, technology, and support to fellow citizens so that they can ensure election integrity in their own communities.[/quote]

Catherine Engelbrecht, the founder of this organization, was so mistreated by the IRS. 
This was her testimony before the House Oversight Committee:

[quote]"My life before I spoke out for good government stands in stark contrast to the life I now lead. As a wife, a mother, and small businesswoman working with my husband, raising our children and participating in my church and PTA, the government collected my taxes and left me and my family in peace. But when I helped found and led True the Vote and King Street Patriots, I found myself a target of this federal government," she said. "Shortly after filing IRS forms to establish 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) tax exempt organizations, an assortment of federal entities including law enforcement agencies and a Congressman from Maryland, Elijah Cummings came knocking at my door. In nearly two decades of running our small business, my husband and I never dealt with any government agency, outside of filing our annual tax returns. We had never been audited, we had never been investigated, but all that changed upon submitting applications for the non profit statuses of True the Vote and King Street Patriots. Since that filing in 2010, my private businesses, my nonprofit organizations, and family have been subjected to more than 15 instances of audit or inquiry by federal agencies.”
Engelbrecht was audited by the IRS, ATF and received multiple visits by OSHA and ATF.[/quote]

Anyone who believes there is not a “smidgeon of corruption” here is denying reality.  But, that is how Obama and his followers work.  [/quote]
