501(h) election
[edit]- ... that the 501(h) election allows many U.S. non-profit organizations to engage in unlimited lobbying as long as they do it cheaply?
- Source: "Since the spending limitations are based solely on dollars spent, a [501(h)] election is quite favorable to any charity that can engage in “cheap” lobbying, for example on the Web or using volunteers.... The ability to use the Internet to influence the public (and perhaps Congress as well) on legislative matters renders the dollar limitations imposed by the Expenditure Test useless in many cases."

New within past seven days as of nomination. Article greatly exceeds the 1500 character of prose requirement. Passes Earwig's copyvio detector; what text that is copied is quoted and attributed, rather than just taken. The article is neutral in tone, and decently sourced. Hook is well beneath 200 characters (132, including "..."). Hook is sourced. Level of interest should be decent; 501c3 status is of interest to a broad enough base, I think. QPQ easily satisfied [2][3][4] and more. The two images on the article are free license with no problems. --Hammersoft (talk) 20:07, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
