Wakefield, MA: Paul D. Craney of Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, Barbara Anderson of Citizens for Limited Taxation and Christine Morabito of the Greater Boston Tea Party sent their second letter this week, this time to Speaker Robert DeLeo. The letter to Speaker DeLeo urges him to support the House GOP Resolution that publicly condemns the IRS' behavior and pushes Congress to work in a bi-partisan manner to hold the wrong-doers accountable. In addition to the House GOP, Democratic Congressmen Capuano, Lynch and Markey have publicly voiced their opposition to the IRS' conduct. A copy of the letter may be found attached.

“President Kennedy once said ‘there are risks and costs to action, but they are far less than the long range risks of comfortable inaction.’ Speaker DeLeo should be jumping for the chance to work with both parties and he should urge his colleagues to support the House GOP Resolution," stated Paul D. Craney, Executive Director of Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance.

"People are tired of the politics of retribution, they are looking for leadership. This is a great opportunity for the Speaker to demonstrate bi-partisan leadership,” concluded Craney.
