                     SIGN DISCHARGE PETITION NO. 12

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, 1,300 IRS agents were busted snooping 
through tax returns, invading the privacy of the American people.
  It has gotten so bad in some of these episodes that IRS agents 
actually figured out tax refunds that taxpayers overlooked, filed 
false, fraudulent forms, got the refunds, and kept this for themselves. 
Unbelievable, ladies and gentlemen.
  The IRS is in our kitchen. The IRS is in our bathrooms. The IRS is in 
our bedroom. The IRS is in our office. Now the IRS is in our computers, 
Congress, and the Congress does nothing about it, absolutely nothing, 
but the truth is the IRS is now in our face, and they are in the face 
to the American people, and they are in the wallets and pocketbooks of 
the American people.
  They should go to jail for this. Sign Discharge Petition No. 12 and 
get in the face of the IRS in a heartbeat.
