House Republican lawmakers are calling on the IRS to stop harassing Tea Party groups across the country.

Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.), along with more than 60 House Republicans, sent a letter to IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman detailing their concerns that the agency routinely discriminates against Tea Party groups. They also seek an explanation why the agency has yet to approve the tax-exempt status of the NORCAL Tea Party Patriots, located in McClintock’s district.
