February 16, 2012 Mr. Joseph R. Herr Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service P.O. Box 2508 Cincinnati, OH 45201 Dear Mr. Herr, We are in receipt of your request for more information concerning our organization's application for non-profit status under form 1024. We find that your requests are unreasonable, overly burdensome, intrusive and possibly politically motivated and that they have little to do with determining our organizations qualifications for non-profit status. Instead we believe that your requests force our organization to either forfeit our First Amendment Rights to Free Political Speech and Freedom of Assembly or deny us the non-profit status we are entitled to under IRS regulations. Neither of which is acceptable. Therefore, we hereby refuse to comply with your request. We have asked our Congressional Representatives to investigate your actions and intentions and we are exploring every legal means available to defend our rights. We answered all pertinent questions about our organization in our detailed original 1024 application in June of 2010 and see no reason why non-profit status should not be granted. We hereby request that our organization be granted non-profit status on the basis of that application without further delay. Regards, Employer ID: 27-xxxxxxx VIA FAX - 1 Page
