To: Timothy Geithner, Secretary of the Treasury
Secretary Geithner: Tell the IRS to enforce the law
Secretary Geithner: Bar blatantly political organizations from exploiting the law.
Why is this important?
Groups like Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS and the Koch brothers' Americans for Prosperity have escaped disclosing their donors by disguising their democracy-damaging groups as so-called "social welfare" organizations–meaning they can keep their donors completely secret.
A group of Democratic senators asked the IRS to step up enforcement on these groups, and the tea party and extreme right wing are not happy. We all need to take a stand with our fellow progressives to build public support now.
Sign our petition to Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner to direct the IRS to rigorously enforce the law regarding political groups masquerading as "social welfare" organizations.
