This is nothing more than harassment of NGOs that don't hew the conservative line, and all to pressure them into staying out of influencing votes and policy agendas. Congress has found little to remedy the massive impact of corrupt corporations like Enron while going again after the "little people" who screw up on a proportionate level equal to being a pea in a field alfalfa, who labor day to day to provide services that anti-tax zealots have mercilessly decimated. Show us where West Bank Community Development Corporation and Seven Corners Apartments deserve the scrutiny you demand while letting absentee slumlords off the hook in sections of Minneapolis and St. Paul for maintaining safety and security in their profit centers.
