ABOUT THIS BLOG

I shall post videos, graphs, news stories, and other material there. We shall use some of this material in class, and you may review the rest at your convenience. You will all receive invitations to post to the blog. (Please let me know if you do not get such an invitation.) I encourage you to use the blog in these ways:
To post questions or comments about the readings before we discuss them in class;
To follow up on class discussions with additional comments or questions.
To post relevant news items or videos.

There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges.

501 (c)(4) regulation

501 (c) (4)'s and how are they regulated- Carolina Rising


"Owens and other lawyers contacted by OpenSecrets Blog suggested groups like Carolina Rising that are pushing the limits of nonprofit status “are betting that the IRS won’t come looking.”
Levinson said that groups like Carolina Rising “can rest assured in the belief that the IRS and the FEC are unlikely to take any action.”
Indeed, data from four election cycles shows a growing amount of spending by these politically active organizations, and the IRS gives them a pass far more often than it takes decisive action."
