has
worked with and supported SAOVA
Sportsmen's and Animal Owners' Voting Alliance for
many years. Under Bob Kane’s leadership, it became one of the most
successful lobbying watchdogs against discriminatory animal rights
legislation. Susan Wolf is now at the helm and doing an equally
effective job in the fight to protect the rights of all dog owners.
HSUS (Humane Society of the U.S.), not to be confused with your local
humane society, has far surpassed PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment
of Animals) as the animal owners worst and most dangerous enemy.
SAOVA and CCF Center For Consumer Freedom can’t do this alone. Both need
your financial and letter-writing support. Both have been brave and
relentless in grabbing the enemy where it hurts the most. If HSUS were a
snake, either end would do but the most vulnerable part of HSUS is right
in its not-for-profit status!
Today 3/15/10, the SAOVA received some good news from lobbyist and
attorney, Frank Losey, regarding the Campaign to Spay and Neuter HSUS.
Frank worked for over 2 years and has compiled 755 pages of documents
and proof of the excessive lobbying activities of HSUS. His call to
action for animal owners and enthusiasts to write letters to the tax
fraud office of IRS resulted in thousands of letters from all 50 states.
Frank’s work and your efforts have not gone unnoticed by the IRS.

Issue lobbying and working to identify and elect supportive legislators
Below is Frank’s message and all involved encourage cross-posting in
order to gain as much support as possible.
Dear Animal Owners and Enthusiasts,
A number of individuals who wrote to the IRS have now received form a
form letter response from the IRS Office in Dallas. Since some have
received the form letters, that indicates that all will. Typing names
and addresses on 4,500-5,000 form letters and envelopes does take a
little time!!
Although form letters are often not worth the paper they are written on,
this form letter is different for a number of reasons, including those
set out below:
1. Unlike most
form letters which are signed by a lower ranking
individual, this form letter is signed by the Acting Director of the
Exempt Organization Examinations Division.
2. The IRS bureaucratic glacier is
now moving.
3. The form letter goes one step
further and asks for other relevant info if you have it.
4. The fact that the Dallas Office is
involved means that a total of four IRS (Fraud-Related)
Offices are now discussing among themselves what is going
on. (The other three Offices are Ogden, Utah, Fresno, CA and
Washington DC.) Discussion means that the IRS is taking
serious the documentation that I have previously sent, as
well as at least 4,500 confirmed letters that the IRS has
received.
5. If the IRS is sending out form
letters to at least 4,500 letter-writers, which states
send more info if you have it, this means that the IRS
is about to open up a serious investigation, and
probably already has, especially in light of the fact
the HSUS has taken off of its website some of its
"finger tip" links having to do with lobbying. You now
have to use the HSUS search engine.
6. I have a new point of contact to
inundate with 755 pages of incriminating documents, in the
unlikely event that my seven submissions have not been
copied and forwarded to the Dallas Office.
7. The IRS "chatter," which was a
primary purpose of the letter writing campaign, is in
full motion.
8. The most important thing is that
the IRS is not ignoring the issues raised and is asking for
additional information if it is available. I'm working on
that!!
A HUGE "THANK YOU" TO ALL WHO WROTE TO THE IRS!!!!
