CREW Files Another Complaint Against ATR
by Guest Blogger, 7/5/2006
According to BNA:
Citizens for Ethics and Responsibility in Washington has filed another complaint with the IRS on the actions of Americans for Tax Reform on the heels of the Senate Indian Affairs committee report we told you about here.
"Reed originally denied knowing the funds came from Indian casinos, but during hearings held by the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) released numerous e-mails clearly demonstrating that Reed did in fact know where the money came from," CREW said. "The e-mails show that Reed and Norquist worked with Abramoff to create the anti-gambling campaigns and to develop the scheme to hide the origins of the money."
CREW maintains that the money ATR received from the Indian casinos constitutes taxable business income because ATR was providing services unrelated to its tax-exempt purpose of increasing public awareness about the size and regulations of government, and to rally support for lower taxes and smaller government.
