			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tsunami. Earthquake. Nuclear meltdown. Tunisia. Egypt. Libya&#8230;the news is full of emergencies overseas.</p>
<p>As bad as they are, these foreign born events have distracted Americans from a dire Emergency right here at home, right in our midst!</p>
<p>We have a Tax Revolt Emergency right here in the U. S., right now!</p>
<p>We have a Government Spending Emergency right here, right now!</p>
<p>We have a massive and mushrooming Deficit Emergency right here, right now!</p>
<p><strong>Last year on Tax Day, more than 300,000 American Patriots Marched for America online and in-person. Last year your Tax Day Rally at Freedom Plaza in Washington D.C. was the biggest in the history of these United States! </strong></p>
<p>Before the distractions overseas, we were set to build an even bigger Tax Day Revolt this April 18. From this we would be set to cut spending deeply including defunding Obamacare, cut the deficit significantly, reduce the federal debt, and start creating jobs in the private sector of the economy.<br />
<strong><br />
And a historic Tax Day Rally, with 500,000 or more, would set up the defeat of Barack Obama in 2012! That&#8217;s why we are using likely GOP Presidential candidates as avatars this year. </strong></p>
<p>We are asking our Online Tax Revolt supporters to help us by raising $250,000 to make this year’s Tax Day historic in proportions.  <a href="https://secure.campaignsolutions.com/otr/donation1/Default.aspx?initiativekey=PXHNQB5BKHCW">Be one of the 7,000 American heroes and give $35 today</a>.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://secure.campaignsolutions.com/otr/donation1/Default.aspx?initiativekey=PXHNQB5BKHCW">Click right here, right now to do your part to reach our $250,000 goal to save your 2011 Tax Day Revolt Rally!</a> To make Obama a one-term President! To save our beloved nation for our children and grandchildren. </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tax Day April 18? Why the extra 3 days?</p>
<p>You get three extra days to file your taxes this year. They&#8217;ll be due on Mon., April 18.</p>
<p>The bonus days come thanks to Emancipation Day, a little-known Washington, D.C., holiday that celebrates the freeing of slaves in the district.  Emancipation Day falls on Sat., April 16, but it is observed in D.C. on Fri., April 15. That prompted the IRS to extend the tax filing deadline to April 18 this year.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the extra 3 days are not true emancipation from a corrupt and deeply flawed tax system.  No freedom from overspending and a massive deficit.  These are all the realities we Americans are living with everyday.</p>
<p>That’s why so many are joining the Online Tax Revolt.  We are demanding transformational tax reform, reduction in spending and control over the ever-growing deficit.  Choose a presidential avatar to lead us to the biggest tax revolt in U.S. history on Tax Day, April 18.</p>

<p>The Online Tax Revolt Avatars are on the march again&#8211;this time for our fellow Americans on the Gulf Coast. Help us stop the latest assault on our citizens by our broken tax system! We&#8217;re marching to New Orleans and will be there until the President or Congress orders the IRS to lay off tax bills on BP&#8217;s emergency payments to hard hit residents reeling from the effects of the catastrophic oil spill.  President Obama can order the IRS to forgo such payment with one phone call and should. Tell the President that our fellow countrymen have already suffered enough and that the damage to citizens and Gulf Coast economies should not now be further compounded with tax bills on money already spent on food and rent. <strong><a href="https://secure2.convio.net/afft/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&amp;page=UserAction&amp;id=145" target="_blank">Click here to send your personal message to the White House</a>.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WASHINGTON (AP) _ The Internal Revenue Service wants its cut from oil spill victims who receive BP payments for lost wages.</p>
<p>Under current law, BP payments for lost wages are taxable _ just like the wages would have been, the IRS said in tax guidance issued Friday. Payments for physical injuries or property loss, however, are generally tax free. Payments for emotional distress? Taxable, though medical expenses related to the emotional distress are deductible.</p>
<p>BP officials have agreed to create a $20 billion fund for spill victims, as well as a $100 million fund to support displaced oil rig workers.</p>
<p>The IRS issued the guidance Friday to help spill victims sort through the law&#8217;s complexities. The agency has posted tax information for oil spill victims on its website and plans to hold forums in seven Gulf Coast cities on July 17 to help victims with tax troubles or questions.</p>
<p>&#8220;As residents of the region cope with the evolving situation, I want to assure them that the IRS will be doing everything it can to provide tax help to those who need it,&#8221; IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman said. &#8220;We encourage anyone who has an issue with the IRS to contact us and explain their hardship, and we will work with them to find a solution.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll do everything we can under current law to help taxpayers,&#8221; Shulman added.</p>
<p>The IRS has a number of programs to help people who make a good-faith effort but cannot afford to pay their tax bills. Agents can postpone collections in certain hardship cases or allow delinquent taxpayers to skip installment payments if they have made timely payments in the past.</p>
<p>The IRS will hold its July 17 forums for oil victims in these cities: Mobile, Ala.; Panama City, Fla.; Pensacola, Fla.; New Orleans; Houma, La.; Baton Rouge, La.; and Gulfport, Miss.</p>
