Today Liberty Counsel filed a complaint with the IRS, asking the agency to investigate the tax-exempt status of Americans United for Separation of Church and State ("AU"). 

Our complaint follows last week's letter by AU against Liberty University. AU has engaged in a consistent pattern of filing complaints against conservative churches and nonprofit organizations. Its statements are designed to intimidate, silence, and harm those with whom it disagrees.

AU's activity is reckless because the group fails to investigate the accuracy of its statements when making a complaint. While the IRS considers such complaints confidential and will not release information to the public on pending investigations, AU is only interested in getting its name in the media.

AU's actions violate the same tax-exempt laws it pretends to uphold and the group has become merely a façade for a liberal agenda and the Democratic Party. This group has crossed the line one too many times. The IRS needs to put a stop to AU's partisan intimidation tactics.
