Your worst fears about politicians' attempts to use the Internal Revenue Service for vengeance purposes have now been confirmed. The Associated Press has reported that Members of Congress and Clinton White House officials have caused the IRS to audit tax-exempt organizations that disagree with them. The IRS says it bases its audit decisions solely on whether there's evidence of wrongdoing. 2. House Democratic Whip David Bonior (D-MI) has confirmed that, should Democrats regain control of the House of Representatives, they will reinstate the patently unconstitutional rule that allows delegates and commissioners from the District of Columbia and the territories and commonwealths -- Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam and American Samoa -- to vote on the House floor. All five of them are currently Democrats. ~Tiresias CapitolWatch Insider provides news from the inner workings of our nation's capital, including upcoming legislation, what's happening behind the scenes, and how the actions of Congress really affect you.
