Witness at IRS Hearing: ‘I Will Not Retreat; I Will Not Surrender’
CNS News ^ | 02/06/2014 | Melanie Hunter

Posted on 02/06/2014 11:52:17 AM PST by Rusty0604

King Street Patriots founder Catherine Engelbrecht, one of many conservatives who claim they were unfairly targeted by the IRS when applying for tax-exempt status, told Congress Thursday that she is “more determined ever than before to stand before you and to all of America and say that I will not retreat.”

“This government attacked me because of my political beliefs, but I refuse to be cast as a victim,” she said. “I am not a victim, because a victim has no options. I do have options, and I intend to use them all to the fullest extent of my capabilities.” “As an American citizen, I am part of a country that still believes in freedom of speech,” Engelbrecht said. She pledged to press the issue “in every legal way possible,” including filing suit against the IRS, and vowed to continue to speak out – “here in Congress and all across this country.” “No American citizen should be willing to accept a government that uses its power against its own people,” she added.

In her prepared remarks, Engelbrecht said she refuses to “let a precedent be set that allows members of Congress, particularly Cummings, ranking member of the Oversight committee, “to misrepresent this governing body in an effort to demonize and intimidate citizens.”

Do I remember correctly that the HHS (?) had snipers, tanks and helicopters in full force especially in St. Louis the day some folks DID protest at the IRS buildings.

Wow.... those dangerous Tea Party folks from flyover country.

Exactly! Check out the three videos at post #14. This was last JUNE. Congressional testimony was given that the IRS committed crimes (including felony) and that there was evidence of it - John Eastman, National Organization for Marriage.

And what has the GOP House done with it?! Squat.

And more doctors like the lady in San Antonio. It may be women who lead the next revolution! I’d follow these two into battle.

Why yes they did, and there are multiple threads and pics about it. I’ll go root around.

I hope Katherine and all the other groups get together to create a website that lists the Gestopo Agency(s) and the NAME of the Jackbooted thugs carrying out the intimidation that are co-conspirators in this Tyranny.

Anyone remember how Lon Huruchi went into hiding after his actions and gloating became public about his Twofer shot at Ruby Ridge?

Anal retentive? It’s so important for you to pretend he was impeached that you have to say things like that? Why is it that important to you to pretend he was impeached? In your world, was Clinton impeached? How about Reagan? Not to be anal retentive or anything, but do you have any idea which one was impeached and which one wasn’t?

Question. I just sent TrueTheVote a message through Facebook asking if this testimony happened today.
I doubt that they’ll reply anytime soon.
Do you know if this JUST happened today?
The date on that CSPAN video link was for today. But, I need it confirmed.
I’d like to send it to a bunch of YouTube folks that I communicate with and have them try and post the video on their channels.
I used to have a program to do just that, but lost it.
Nobody watches my YouTube channel anyway....

Agreed.
But, she's married, so I'll just tell her lucky Husband, "Good Job!"
