C.L.I.C.K. for Justice & Equality

C.L.I.C.K. for Justice and Equality is an agent of change alerting our social community of injustices and inequalities among the underserved, disadvantaged, and disenfranchised individual or group. A disadvantaged or disenfranchised person or group is anyone who is socially, culturally, and politically deprived of or oppressed from life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Change takes place through our legislative body of Senators and State Representatives, not from the Judicial bench.

CREW Calls on IRS to Amend Rule Allowing Social Welfare Groups to Engage in Political Activity | CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington

CREW Calls on IRS to Amend Rule Allowing Social Welfare Groups to Engage in Political Activity | CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington:

Following up on its lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), today Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed a rulemaking petition with the agency seeking a revision to existing regulations to eliminate a glaring loophole that allows certain tax-exempt groups to engage in substantial political activity while keeping the identities of their donors secret.

Current IRS regulations grant tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(4) of the Tax Code to groups with a “primary purpose” of promoting social welfare. The tax laws, however, require such groups to be operated “exclusively” for social welfare purposes.
