- Nonprofits: Are You at Risk of Losing Your Tax-Exempt Status?
In 2004, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") studied 110 § 501(c)(3) organizations and found that seventy-Jive percent of them had violated federal tax law by engaging in political-campaign activities during the 2004 campaign period. The IRS learned that many of these organizations did not understand the broad scope of the political-campaign prohibition and that organizations' leaders mistakenly spoke on behalf of their organizations rather than in their personal capacities separate from theirorganizations. Following the study, the IRS stated that any § 501(c)(3) organization that did not comply with federal tax law's statutory requirements and restrictions risked losing its tax-exempt status. As the 2008 campaign was in full swing, the IRS promised to step up its enforcement of § 501...

- Political Silence at Church: The Empty Threat of Removing Tax-Exempt Status for Insubstantial Attempts to Influence Legislation
This analysis scrutinizes the policy behind the restriction that churches "must not devote a substantial part of their activities to attempting to influence legislation" and presents a practical approach to interpreting this restriction. This Comment argues that a proper interpretation of the lobbying restrictions should never control or attempt to define the proper relationship between a church and its members. Specifically, Congress, the IRS, and courts should clarify or otherwise narrowly interpret the lobbying restrictions to allow churches to speak out on important issues of public policy and communicate freely with church members regarding those issues. Churches seeking to retain an independent voice in shaping public policy need not fear the empty threats of separationist groups ...
