This just came in my inbox. Credit is given to the Bslworkshop-UAOA group.



Please cross-post:



Many of the over 5,000 who wrote to the IRS Tax Fraud Office in Fresno,

CA have received a Form Letter from the IRS Office in Dallas that has

oversight over all tax-exempt, public charities. Although this is a

Form Letter, it confirms that the IRS Tax Fraud Offices are "talking" to

other IRS Offices about the National Outcry for an audit of the HSUS.

The letter also states that "if you have addional information that you

believe is relevant, . . . send it to the (Dallas Office)." This

confirms that a preliminary audit protocol has begun. Perhaps that is

why many of the incriminating documents, that I had previously

downloaded from the HSUS website, have now mysteriously disappeared from

the HSUS website!!!!! (And yes, I have received unofficial confirmation

from a reliable source that an IRS audit has begun.)

On March 25th my Eighth Installment was sent to the IRS Office in

Dallas. It contains 90 new pages of incriminating documents that

highlight the breadth, magnitude and pervasiveness of the lobbying by

the HSUS at the State Level, especially by the 34 HSUS State Field

Directors and HSUS employees who are Officially listed as "Registered

Lobbyists" in their respective State Capitols, as well as their

involvement in Humane Lobby Days and Lobby 101 Workshops. The HSUS

"Registered Lobbyists" are in the following 34 States:

Alabama Idaho Missouri

Pennsylvania

Arizona Illinois Nebraska

Tennessee

Arkansas Indiana New Hampshire

Vermont

California Iowa New York

Virginia

Colorado Kentucky Nevada

Washington

Connecticut Louisiana North Carolina

West Virginia

Florida Maine Ohio

Wisconsin

Georgia Minnesota Oklahoma

Wyoming

Hawaii Oregon



To increase pressure on the IRS to "Fast Track" an audit of the HSUS, I

am asking as many people as possible to copy and paste appropriate

portions of the Draft Letter set out below and to mail it to the IRS

Office in Dallas by First Class Mail - - a 44 cent stamp.

The Draft Letter refers to the prior 755 pages of incriminating

documents for a reason. It will allow me to finesse and ensure that the

IRS Office in Dallas reviews all 845 pages of incriminating documents.

Failure to do so by that Office will allow me to leverage and elevate

the issue - - this is how one moves a "glacier" within a Government

Bureaucracy.

Thank You for all that you have done to create a "critical mass" of

concern that the IRS simply cannot ignore.

Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division

ATTN: Ms. Nanette M. Downing

Acting Director, EO Examinations

MC 4910DAL

1100 Commerce Street

Dallas, TX 75242



Dear Ms. Downing:

As a follow-up to your request for "additional information" that is

"relevant" concerning the lobbying activities of the HSUS, I ask that

the IRS examine and reflect upon the recently submitted documentation

that has been provided to your Office by Mr. Losey by letter dated March

25, 2010. The 90 pages of incriminating documents attached to that

letter highlight that in addition to the paid lobbyists who are

registered in multiple States to lobby on behalf of the Humane Society

of the U.S. (HSUS), HSUS State Field Directors, or other designated and

paid employees of the HSUS, are "Registered Lobbyists" in at least 34

different State Capitols. (NOTE: If you reside in any of the states

listed above, add the following sentence: For example, if you review

the documentation that Mr. Losey has sent to your Office, you will see

that the HSUS representative for my State is a "Registered Lobbyist."

I ask that you also consider the fact that the HSUS and the HSUS State

Field Directors literally urge thousands of HSUS volunteers in at least

34 States to participate in what they call a Humane Lobby Day at State

Capitols; to participate in "Lobby 101 Workshops," and to contact their

State and Federal Legislators for the purpose of influencing their

actions on State and Federal Legislative Bills. Significantly, the tens

of thousands of hours that are devoted each year to the extensive

lobbying efforts by the HSUS volunteers have never been "fully" reported

to the IRS by the HSUS. Furthermore, the cumulative efforts by those

thousands of HSUS volunteers should be considered in evaluating whether

the HSUS has exceeded the "substantial" test threshold criteria for

lobbying by a tax-exempt, public charity. (NOTE: Attach any E-Mail

that you have received about a Lobby Day event or a request to contact a

Legislator to this letter.) I also ask that the IRS consider the timing

and the double use of "fund raising" advertising that is used "to

influence public opinion on a legislative matter or referendum," such as

a "Ballot Initiative."

Finally, please let me know if you do not have copies of the seven

letters that Mr. Losey has submitted to the IRS Tax Fraud Offices in

Washington DC and Fresno, CA. If you do not have copies of those

letters, as well as the 755 pages of incriminating pages of

documentation concerning the lobbying activities of the HSUS that were

attached those letters, I will ask Mr. Losey to forward them to you.

The dates of the cover letters that accompanied the 755 pages of

documents were October 29, 2008; February 11, 2009; August 18, 2009;

January 4, 2010; January 12, 2010; February 20, 2010; and March 2, 2010.

Respectfully Submitted, (Add Your Signature,

Name and Address)

PS: Please keep my identity confidential.
