THE "HOME STRETCH" OF THE SPAY AND NEUTER CAMPAIGN

Earlier this year the IRS received over 6,000 letters from concerned citizens in all 50 States who asked that the IRS audit the excessive lobbying activities of the HSUS. Those letters were not in vain as they laid the foundation for "FOLLOW-UPS" by me. One of the "FOLLOW-UPS" was to the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of the Treasury (IG Office). Most significantly, that Office has assigned a case file number to my first submission to that Office that was dated April 15, 2010. That means that the IG OFFICE is aware of the more than 1,200 pages of incriminating, "smoking gun" documents that were provided to the IRS in 12 sequential submissions. These documents establish that the HSUS has EXCEEDED the IRS "TOO MUCH LOBBYING" prohibition for all tax-exempt, public charities.

Hundreds of lobbying activities of the HSUS are well documented in the above referenced 1,200+ pages. However, I believe that the following seven issues will be jaw-dropping "showstoppers" for the IG Office.

1. 6000+ letters to the IRS.

2. At least nine Members of Congress from seven different States have asked the IRS, on behalf of their constituents, to address their concerns about the excessive lobbying activities of the HSUS.

3. One of those Members of Congress has sent at least two letters to the IRS, and in his last letter he described activities of the HSUS to be "a clear and direct violation of section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code."

4. HSUS claims that it was responsible for the enactment of more than 525 Federal and State Statutes and the passage of more than 25 State Ballot Initiatives.

5. Federal Election Commission documents that reference over 2,300 pages of lobbying activities of an HSUS affiliate that is managed by the two most senior HSUS Officers.

6. Missouri Ethics Commission documents that show that the HSUS has contributed over $700,000, to date, in support of a Ballot Initiative. These documents also raise an issue as to whether the HSUS has "laundered" other financial support of lobbying activities through surrogate organizations to conceal the magnitude of its lobbying activities.

7. Documentation that supports the assertion that in the last four years the HSUS has generated over 1.6 Billion "Take Action" lobbying-related E-Mails. If these "Take Action" lobbying-related E-Mails were stacked on top of one another, the stack would be over 100 MILES HIGH!

WHAT MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE?:

1. Take the time to download the attached letter; add your name and address, and mail it to the Office of the Inspector General (See Address at the top of the attached letter.)

2. Mail it by regular mail. No need to send it by Certified Mail.

3. Encourage your friends, relatives and acquaintances to do the same. Have copies printed to hand to them!

NUMBERS DO MATTER: If the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of the Treasury receives thousands of letters that reference the above seven issues, IT WILL INCREASE THE PRESSURE ON THE IRS TO EXPEDITE, A THOROUGH, "WALL-TO-WALL" AUDIT OF THE LOBBYING ACTIVITIES OF THE HSUS. The "Clock" is ticking towards midnight for the HSUS! PLEASE SEND YOUR LETTERS NOW.

RE:  The Excessive Lobbying Activities of theHumane Society of the U.S. (EIN: 53 - - 0225390)

IGComplaint Number 55-1005-0025-C

Dear Mr. Sanders:

I respectfully ask that theOffice of the Inspector General of the Department of the Treasury ensure thatthe Internal Revenue Service (IRS) conducts a timely and thorough audit of theexcessive lobbying activities of the Humane Society of the United States(HSUS), which apparently has been allowed to ignore the IRS limitations on "TOO MUCH LOBBYING" by a tax-exempt, public charity.  The following are but a few reasons why I ammaking this request:

·        Earlier this year the IRS received over 6,000letters from concerned citizens who live in all 50 States.  These letters requested that the IRS auditthe excessive lobbying activities of the HSUS.

·        At least nine Members of Congress from seven differentStates have asked the IRS, on behalf of their constituents, to address theirconcerns about the excessive lobbying activities of the HSUS.

·        One Member of Congress has sent at least twoletters to the IRS, and in his last letter he stated:  "The attached information unquestionablydemonstrates that HSUS invests a substantial amount of time and money inpolitical campaigns and attempts to influence specific legislation, a clear anddirect violation of section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code."

·        The IRS has received over 1,200 pages ofincriminating documents that detail the more than 200 different types oflobbying activities conducted by the HSUS. Illustrative examples include:

o   Claimingcredit for the enactment of more than 525 Federal and State Statutes and thepassage of more than 25 State Ballot Initiatives.

o   Federal Election Commission documents thatreference over 2,300 pages of lobbying activities of an HSUS affiliate that ismanaged by the two most senior HSUS Officers.

o   Missouri Ethics Commission documentsthat show that the HSUS has contributed over $700,000, to date, in support of aBallot Initiative.  These documents alsoraise an issue as to whether the HSUS has "laundered"other financial support of lobbying activities through surrogate organizationsto conceal the magnitude of its lobbying activities.

Extracts from the HSUS 2008 Tax Return ("the HSUS assisted in sending constituent EMAILS and FAXES to lawmakers through a functionality on the Society's website."), and supporting examples of E-Mails that, when considered in their entirety, will establish that just this one example of lobbying activity has generated over 1.6 Billion "TAKE ACTION" lobbying-related E-Mails.  Significantly, a stack of 1.6 Billion E-Mails would be over 100 Miles High!   Is not that, by itself, "TOO MUCH LOBBYING"?!?!?

Respectfully submitted,

(Signature, and date, if you like)
