Victims of IRS targeting tell their stories on Capitol Hill – Town Hall
"I am not here today as a serf or a vassal. I am not begging my lords
for mercy. I am a born free, American woman, wife, mother and citizen
and I’m telling my government that you have forgotten your place. It is
not your responsibility to look out for my well being or monitor my
speech. It is not your right to assert an agenda. The posts you occupy
exist to preserve American liberty. You have sworn to perform that duty.
And you have faltered. The abuses I will discuss today occurred on your
watch. It is your responsibility to make sure it doesn’t happen again,"
Gerritson said through tears. "Using these agencies as weapons against
citizens is scary and it feels like tyranny."
