In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold.

The conservatives are using the nonprofit code more that the liberals. Lets have sunlight so we know who is donating to political campaigns?

We don't know that conservatives are using it more. We only know that conservatives were questioned more. In politics I believe in unlimited donations with full disclosure. For non-political groups (who may occasionally do something political) I believe in unlimited donations with no disclosure requirement.

Where do you get 97-3?

Here's a list of all of the organizations approved. SOI Tax Stats - Exempt Organizations Business Master File Extract (EO BMF)

28 have the words "tea party" or "patriots" in their name. Only seven have the word "progress": Louisiana Progress Action Fund Inc., Progress Missouri, Progress Texas, Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada Action Fund, Progressive USA, Progressives United Inc., Progressnow. There are no matches for liberal" or "Democrat."​

The IRS targeted tea party groups. Did liberal groups get better treatment?
 

This whole thing only happened because democrats allowed the federal government to grow into an authoritarian entity and the government got snug in their new founded position.

Of course democrats won't say a fracking word until the feds break their door down for a random "house inspection."
 

It was in an early article. Can't find it now.
