Sarasota, FL -- Targeted for their Tea Party views: a new report following an Internal Revenue Service audit shows agents scrutinized conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status.

Republican Congressman Vern Buchanan is outraged by the reports and is asking the Secretary of Treasury to take action.

Buchanan is the only Florida member on the Ways and Means Committee, which has jurisdiction over the IRS. Buchanan says a year ago, agents told the committee no one was being targeted, so now he wants accountability.
