BRAVO, MRS. WARD
(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, the IRS said Carol Ward of Colorado
Springs was a cheat, a liar, a thief, and a big drug dealer. The IRS
then posted those accusations on flyers and spread them around all over
town. The IRS then seized her business, her son's business, and all her
money.
But at trial Carol Ward was found to be innocent. Mr. Speaker, Carol
Ward is now suing the IRS for $1 billion, $1,000 for each of those 1
million people that saw those fliers. Bravo, Mrs. Ward. And as far as
the IRS is concerned, I hope Mrs. Ward kicks their assets all over
Colorado.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back all the liability the IRS has in this case.
