“Under the Internal Revenue Code, all section 501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office. Contributions to political campaign funds or public statements of position (verbal or written) made on behalf of the organization in favor of or in opposition to any candidate for public office clearly violate the prohibition against political campaign activity. Violating this prohibition may result in denial or revocation of tax-exempt status and the imposition of certain excise taxes.” ~ The Restriction of Political Campaign Intervention by Section 501(c)(3) Tax-Exempt Organizations.

The Children’s Defense Fund made this stunningly inappropriate press release: “Statement: The Children’s Defense Fund Applauds Action to Impeach the President in which they asserted highly politically charged and inflammatory accusations. The press release started with, “The Children’s Defense Fund applauds the House of Representatives for voting on Wednesday to impeach the president for a second time, and urges the Senate to vote to convict the president and ensure he can never again hold the power of the presidency.” It goes downhill from there.
