Honolulu, Hawaii - Today, Hawaii Republican Party Chair David Chang called on Hawaii's Congressional Delegation to condemn politically motivated Internal Revenue Service abuses and support any necessary investigations to hold all those involved accountable.

Like many of the mainland organizations affected by the scandal, these organizations were inappropriately targeted to provide a wide range of details about their organizations, including information on individual Hawaii residents and copies of their training materials.
"The IRS should not be scrutinizing some organizations more than others for purely political reasons.
