Like Cana... Keep in mind that may be a bad example. Like Canada, the IRS uses a complaint system for audits, a 'snitch line' as it were. And with the relaxing of laws and the increase in the number of 501 conservative groups, then more complaints may have been inevitable.<br /><br /> For context you have to remember that a similar thing is going on in canada in reverse. It is environmental groups which are being rigourously audited thanks to the complaint driven system that has gas companies making complaints daily. <br /><br /> And now the government is cracking down on what it calls 'political activities', which is essentially the main reason most people give money to them, so that many environmental groups are being crippled, and may ultimately fold-which is FAR more serious than what is going on with the IRS.<br /><br /> But point taken, but given your talk about commercials, and given that its a pretty small industry, its really no surprise people don't want to 'rock the boat'-at all. Its not simply being on an 'enemies list', its simply being known as 'mouthy' in a world where the internet can broadcast this information to hundreds. <br /><br /> What is somewhat surprising is that blogs and things can be set up pretty anonymously, and perhaps if more of these stories got out, those involved would have strength in numbers. mikelnoreply@blogger.com
