Here’s how the IRS’s new license to kill would work:
- Anything that mentions or has any connection to a candidate or public
official is deemed restricted speech (CRPA), even when it otherwise
meets the organization’s goals. Details of all communications must be
reported to the IRS whenever it occurs within 60 days of a general
election or within 30 days of primaries.
- The restrictions also apply regarding procedures to select party
officers, such as a precinct, district or state party chairman, plus
nominations or confirmations of an appointed official such as a judge,
agency head or cabinet officer.
Also newly-restricted are:
- These communications must all be reported to the IRS so they can be
compiled, catalogued and taxed. Donations made during those periods
would be treated 100 percent as campaign contributions, and taxed.
- Voter registration drives
- Candidate forums and debates
- Voter guides
