*snicker* what did I post earlier about the pitfalls inherent in using garabge sources for information? :killingme

Therefore, a fraternal beneficiary society, so long as it is primarily engaged in fraternal activities and the provision of benefits to its members and their dependents within the meaning of IRC 501(c)(8), may engage in some political activities, including intervention in political campaigns on behalf of, or in opposition to, candidates for public office, without jeopardizing its exempt status

"The Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 7 which has endorsed Richard Fritz for St. Mary's States Attorney may be violating the rules of the IRS which governs charities. Filing of the FOP Lodge 7 shows that it spent over $64,000 on a "boiler room" type of professional fund-raising operation to solict donations from the community and then uses these "charitable" donations to pressure politicians to allow them to obtain collective bargaining and demand raises at the same time that taxpayers are impoverished by dropping real estate prices and higher assessments."

"Nonprofits cannot make express endorsements or give candidates preferential access to resources."

Yr a riot ('riot' sounds better than 'brain dead', don't you agree?). So there is this vast conspiracy that you have just uncovered; thousands of FOPs across the country openly endorsing candidates while chartered as 530 c 8s yet secretly violating the law and filing their tax returns under the wrong section as 503 c 3s. Thousands..year after year after year.

Mind boggling. You might even get your own interview on 60 Minutes for uncovering this.

I'm back. Unlike you I have a job, and can't talk here every five minutes. I see someone proved you wrong as usual. Just a few more days and we won't have to hear from you anymore. Fritz will be in office, nobody's taking your calls, and i'll keep sending my check to the FOP every year. So long loser! lol. :killingme :yahoo:

So what you are saying is that of the thousands of FOP lodges in this country, of the thousands of teachers unions etc, this is the ONLY one that is in violation of the tax code? And the you, the former printer of a paper even my bird refused to #### on, are the only party to have taken notice of this? Not the State of Maryland nor the IRS, but only lonely little old you?

This diversion is at least keeping him amused (easily done ..but still..) and off the streets.

Now if we could just find a diversion that would keep Idiot_Boy out of here too..:whistle:
