RUSH: I want the audio sound bites because I mentioned some of the testimony that took place yesterday on Capitol Hill during the House Ways and Means Committee on the IRS scandal. One of the people… Every one of those people that testified was fantastic. John Eastman, National Organization for Marriage, was great. There was a lot to learn by watching the Democrats on that committee try to defend what the IRS did and tell these Tea Party groups, “Well, you asked for it! I mean, you asked for this by seeking tax-exempt status. What do you think we\u2019re gonna do to you?” <\/p>\n

But there\u2019s a woman from Alabama by the name of Becky Gerritson. She\u2019s from the Wetumpka, Alabama, Tea Party. She\u2019s the president. She testified, and she was great. Here are a couple of her sound bites…<\/p>\n

GERRITSON: I\u2019m not here as a serf or a vassal. I mean, begging my lords for mercy. I\u2019m a born-free American woman, wife, mother, and citizen, and I\u2019m telling my government that you\u2019ve forgotten your place. It\u2019s not your responsibility to look out for my well-being and to monitor my speech. It\u2019s not your right to assert an agenda. Your post, the post that you occupy exists to preserve American liberty. You\u2019ve sworn to perform that duty, and you have faltered. The abuses I will discuss today occurred on your watch, and it\u2019s your responsibility to make sure it doesn\u2019t happen again.<\/p>\n
