I believe many of us who have been affiliated with a Tea Party organization were well aware of the I.R.S. targeting of their requests for tax exempt status.  Complaints to our congressmen did not help to expedite these applications.  Now that it has come to light that conservative groups were absolutely targeted and put through unnecessary and most likely illegal questions and delay tactics we must make sure that the people involved in this abuse of power are routed out, charged, and convicted for their crimes.  Unauthorized disclosure of tax information is absolutely criminal and must be prosecuted.  We cannot allow agencies like the I.R.S. to be allowed such unchecked power and everyone involved, from the lowest clerk to the highest administrators, should be fired, all pension and benefits stripped away, and they must not be permitted to work in government ever again.  Government has grown too powerful and intrusive into our lives.  If these acts go unpunished there will be no reason for the I.R.S. to cease its political targeting in an effort to silence groups whose positions differ from the current administration, now and in the future.
