[image: Charlie Spiering] Charlie Spiering Commentary Staff Writer During a House Ways and Means Committee hearing today, Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill., grilled outgoing IRS commissioner Steven Miller about the IRS targeting a pro-life group in Iowa. “Their question, specifically asked from the IRS to the Coalition for Life of Iowa: *‘Please detail the content of the members of your organization’s prayers,’*" Schock declared. “Would that be an inappropriate question to a 501 c3 applicant?” asked Schock. “The content of one’s prayers?” “It pains me to say I can’t speak to that one either,” Miller replied. After Schock pressed him further, Miller explained that although he couldn't comment on the specific case, it would "surprise him" if that question was asked. The report comes from the Thomas More Society,<https://www.thomasmoresociety.org/2013/05/17/congress-receives-irrefutable-evidence-of-irs-harassment-of-pro-life-organizations/> a national public interest law firm for religious liberty. >From their >report:<https://www.thomasmoresociety.org/2013/05/17/congress-receives-irrefutable-evidence-of-irs-harassment-of-pro-life-organizations/> Coalition for Life of Iowa found itself in the IRS’s crosshairs when the group applied for tax exempt status in October 2008. Nearly ten months of interrogation about the group’s opposition to Planned Parenthood included a demand by a Ms. Richards from the IRS’ Cincinnati office unlawfully insisted that all board members sign a sworn declaration promising not to picket/protest Planned Parenthood. Further questioning by the IRS requested detailed information about the content of the group’s prayer meetings, educational seminars, and signs their members hold outside Planned Parenthood. *traildustfotm<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/author/traildustfotm/> * | May 18, 2013 at 1:31 pm | Tags: a<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?tag=a>, IRS oppression <http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?tag=irs-oppression>, persecution <http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?tag=persecution>, persecution of Christians<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?tag=persecution-of-christians>| Categories: abortion <http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?cat=13538>, IRS-gate<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/?cat=168403802>| URL: http://wp.me/pKuKY-lJV Comment<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2013/05/18/president-lucifers-prayer-police/#respond> See all comments<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2013/05/18/president-lucifers-prayer-police/#comments> Unsubscribe or change your email settings at Manage Subscriptions<https://subscribe.wordpress.com/?key=80d8873ee52adffe4e178d01c25562cf&email=goosepickles%40gmail.com>. *Trouble clicking?* Copy and paste this URL into your browser: http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2013/05/18/president-lucifers-prayer-police/ Thanks for flying with WordPress.com <http://wordpress.com> -- -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
