TEA PARTY GROUPS BATTLING IRS OVER TAX EXEMPT STATUS:  The IRS has been routinely denying non-profit status to tea party groups around the country.  Fortunately, the American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ) has agreed to represent many of these groups and is beginning to have success after months of IRS delays:

As of this past week, two more groups were granted their tax-exempt status. To date, a total of 14 out of the 25 Tea Party and conservative groups that the ACLJ represents have been granted their tax-exempt status. We are thrilled with the success that we are achieving for our clients. We still have a few more to go, but we are confident that each and every one of our clients will receive a positive determination from the IRS before our work on this issue is over.

Way to go, ACLJ.
