^ On a thought though, I can see where it might send up a flag. I can see where the mix up came into play. Organizations that file 501C3 status have very limited stuff they can do involving lobbying, and absolutely can not support political candidates.

I know of no other 501C3 group that ever got involved in poltics.


ACORN was composed of a number of legally distinct nonprofit entities and affiliates including a nationwide umbrella organization established as a 501©(4) that performed lobbying; local chapters established as 501©(3) nonpartisan charities; and the national nonprofit and nonstock organization, ACORN Housing Corporation. ACORN's priorities included: better housing and wages for the poor, more community development investment from banks and governments, better public schools, labor-oriented causes and social justice issues. ACORN pursued these goals through demonstration, negotiation, lobbying for legislation, and voter participation.[15]

ACORN might as well be listed as a branch of the DNC.

Were all groups with progressive or community action or something like that in their name treated the same? HELL NO.
