“So can you imagine that? You are a nice little group, minding your own business, in Iowa, with a point of view, and the Internal Revenue Service starts roughing you up? This targeting is insidious.

Everybody in this House should all be saying that we all have the right to come in and make our arguments and try to persuade the public to vote for us, and it should be never a bureaucrat who manipulates and uses power to an end and abuses somebody who, by good faith, is coming into this process. This is an incredibly important piece of legislation. I urge its passage.”
