Congressmen Sniffing Out HSUS Lobbying
Two Members of the U.S. Congress are hot on HSUS’s trail for what may be
excessive lobbying, and the IRS is apparently taking a hard look.
Here’s a little background: In March we spoke with attorney Frank Losey,
who is independently leading a campaign to get the IRS to investigate
whether HSUS’s wide-ranging lobbying activities violate its 501(c)(3)
charity status. As of March, his effort had generated over 4,000
grassroots letters to the IRS, and hundreds or letters to Members of
Congress.
And the effort has apparently been yielding some serious fruit.
In a letter from March 23 that's just surfacing this morning,
Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-MO) wrote to IRS Commissioner Douglas
Shulman to convey his concerns about HSUS’s lobbying activities.
Specifically, Luetkemeyer singles out the apparent conflict of interest
in Michael Markarian’s role as head of HSUS’s lobbying arm (the Humane
Society Legislative Fund) and his positions as HSUS Vice President and
Chief Operating Officer. Luetkemeyer also notes HSUS’s own admission
that it “helped to pass…a total of 470 new state laws in the last 7
years.”...
