In a letter regarding his 501(c)(3) organization Crossroads GPS, the Obama for President called on Karl Rove to disclose the names of the donors to his group. Rove claims that Crossroads GPS is an educational group, and not involved in campaigning, and so exempt from disclosure laws.
The Obama campaign also sent a letter to the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) asking them to expedite their ruling on the matter. The campaign’s lawyers cite a recent Appeals Court decision, Real Truth About Obama v. FEC, in their argument. The lawyers also reiterated the ruling in Citizens United that “preserved Congress’ authority to disclosure of organizations involved in electioneering activities

All that remains is the issue of when...including reported contributions of $12 million per donor...As you know, the court in Citizens United stressed that it's ruling preserved Congress' authority to require disclosure...130 S. Ct. 876, 914-15(2010)...
In order for disclosure to be demanded following a known offense by a major conservative electioneering company, there would have to be investigation for same. I do believe the IRS in diffuse methodology or one of leadership had a profoundly good reason to check and recheck the request for innumerable certification of 501(c)4s.
