Good job, and many more should join him.

Via IJR:

The Obama Administration might be trying to sweep the IRS controversy under the rug, but House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Rep. Dave Camp (MI) isn’t letting up on stopping the agency from targeting conservative groups.

In a letter to Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew and IRS Commissioner John Koskinen, Camp has requested all the documents which pertain to section 504(c)(4) of the tax code. This specific section has been used as a fundraising vehicle for grassroots conservative political action committees.

Under proposed regulations, these groups cannot engage in voter registration drives or get-out-the-vote efforts without risking their tax-exempt status.

Camp is seeking to challenge these rulings, especially as the IRS allows liberal groups – like labor unions – to use these exact same methods to advance their own political causes.

In a statement, Camp said:

Before having all the facts in hand, Treasury rushed forward with new rules that seriously limit groups’ ability to engage in public debate. It is clear that the Obama Administration is still targeting conservative groups and wrote these rules to put them out of business. This is pure politics and the new IRS commissioner should do the right thing and put a stop to it.

According to Bloomberg, House Republicans will be able to question the incoming IRS commissioner at a hearing scheduled for February 5th.
