"[We] decided to take on the federal government . . . because we felt that our First Amendment rights were being trampled on," he said Monday.
Bossie says that if the Internal Revenue Service goes forward with rule changes making it tougher for conservative nonprofits to operate, his group will fight.
"I'm not interested in a fight with the IRS. I do not want to do that. I hope that they will not make these rules," he said.
"But, clearly, the president of the United States has made clear to the IRS commissioner that he wants these rules. And so, we are going to have to fight this battle one day at a time."
