The Planned Parenthood® Action Fund, the host of www.plannedparenthoodaction.org, is a national not-for-profit organization with its main offices in New York City and Washington, DC. The Action Fund is the nonpartisan advocacy and political arm of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. The Action Fund engages in educational and electoral activity, including legislative advocacy, voter education, and grassroots organizing to promote the Planned Parenthood mission.
You didnt address the issue raised either. Must be avoidance week for liberals.. Again..
Owning a political active subdivision, actually VIOLATES the 501C3 charter. A 501(C)(3) company is one that is organized and operated exclusively for any of the exempt purposes described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. These purposes do not include participation in political campaigns, and 501(C)(3) companies are prohibited from these sorts of operations, whether for or against any particular candidate. They are also limited in the lobbying they can do to influence legislation.
Since Planned Parenthood runs Planned Parenthood Action Fund, they are violating their 501C3 charter.
Once again, you have proven that you know nothing about the subject matter that you comment on and pretend to understand. So I'll present a few facts to cut through the misinformation that you have been spreading throughout this thread:
Planned Parenthood didn't put this ad on TV. It was Planned Parenthood Action Fund, which is legally separate from Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood Action Fund receives no public monies. All monies derive from donations.
Oh you say, Planned Parenthood Action Fund is a not-for-profit and is barred from political activity.
Wrong again. Planned Parenthood Action Fund is organized under Section 501(c)(4) of the IRS code, the same section Karl Rove's "American Crossroads GPS" uses to buy advertisements used to attack President Obama.
According to part 7 of the IRS's Internal Revenue Manual, Rulings and Agreements, filed under chapter 25, section 4.7 titled "Intervention in Political Campaigns":
Quote:
Reg. 1.501(c)(4)-1(a)(2)(ii). An exempt IRC 501(c)(4) organization may intervene in political campaigns as long as its primary activity is the promotion of social welfare. IRC 501(c)(4) organizations are subject to the tax imposed by IRC 527 on any expenditure for a political activity that comes within the meaning of IRC 527(e)(2). See Rev. Rul. 81-95, 1981-1 C.B. 332. [Internal Revenue Service, 2/8/1999]

What part of attacking Mitt Romney and endorsing Obama is non-partisan?
Furthermore, 501C4 codes are for

They should endorse someone that will ensure economic stability and prosperity- so people can have children again instead of being thwarted for economic reasons. Planned parenthood is about money. It kills me when woman and men demand affordable day care...when they should be demanding a living wage where a person can raise their own kids- The left is so conditioned in this aspect..They forget that it is not about the freedom to work- but the freedom to stay home and raise their children themselves instead of having the state do it.
When we live in a nation that is supposedly the richest on the planet and people can not afford to breed- there is something amiss here.
