Kay Guinane, Director of Nonprofit speech rights, had this blog appear in The Hill's Congress Blog. This posting highlights the letter that OMB Watch and other organizations sent to Treasury Secretary Paulson in response to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) report that claimed charities are a "significant source of alleged terrorist activities." The letter states; When it comes to terrorism, the charitable sector is not the problem. We are part of the solution. It is time for Treasury to recognize this fact and cease all broadside accusations against the U.S. charitable sector. We call on you to issue a statement recognizing the importance of U.S. charities, both at home and abroad, and acknowledging that actual instances of terrorist abuse of U.S. charities is very limited.
