		<description>If so, then I didn't confuse them, the newspaper that I quoted from did so.  Perhaps I should have known not to trust that source.

Here's what is on the IRS website:

"The promotion of social welfare does not include direct or indirect participation or intervention in political campaigns on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for public office. However, a section 501(c)(4) social welfare organization may engage in some political activities, so long as that is not its primary activity. However, any expenditure it makes for political activities may be subject to tax under section 527(f)."</description>

		<description>anon, a "social welfare organization" is a 501(c)(4) under the tax code, and is allowed to advocate for or against candidates.  Contributions to a 501(c)(4) are not tax-deductible.

A 501(c)(3) "charitable organization" cannot advocate for or against a candidate or a a specific piece of legislation, but donations to it are tax deductible.

I believe you are confusing these.</description>

		<description>IP and Fotis both are frauds and  Fotis is a liar. Just look at the Potomac news

1/2 a page of just Lies. Why would you run for an office built on integrity when 

you lie to the taxpayers. Just sad.</description>

		<description>Well anon, if money is being misappropriated and/or laundered by individuals in a tax exempt organization, perhaps the FBI Frauds Division might be interested.  There's also the Postal Service Criminal Division if they have been soliciting funds through the mail for purposes other than those specified.  I'm sure that there'd be LOTS of Federal Agencies that might want to take a look if some research produces evidence of something fishy going on.  Just a matter of putting it into the right hands.</description>

		<description>"One agency tasked with policing groups like the LEAA is the Internal Revenue Service. But the IRS doesn’t appear to be interested. It has designated the non-profit LEAA as “a social welfare organization.” Under this tax designation, the LEAA can legally “educate” voters about issues but, it cannot advocate for the election or defeat of a candidate. The IRS forbids such organizations from “direct or indirect participation or intervention in political campaigns on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for public office.” When big money is the key to demolishing political opponents, the biggest advantage that any “social welfare” group like the LEAA enjoys is that it is legally allowed to keep all its donors, even the largest ones, hidden."

So, Fotis's organization can't legally endorse him; I wonder, however, if they can spend "company time" (and thus money) endorsing him.</description>

		<description>Lars, can you find that information on a Sheriff's race at the SBE?  I've probably not looked in the right place, but all I've ever been able to find is State Senate and HOD reports.</description>

		<description>You're absolutely correct UN_IP2...I should have made that distinction.  Which begs the question:  Has anyone seen any of the Campaign Finance Reports for the Sheriff's race?  Does the name "Deeds" show up in any of Fotis' expenditures.  That might be interesting to find out.</description>

		<description>THANK YOU Greg for taking the much needed and appreciated steps in regards to Mr. Deeds.

AWCheney - "Perhaps he is paying him Lars, we know for sure that Fotis is Ted Deeds boss at the LEAA. Fotis is the General/Executive Director and Deeds is the Operations Director."  I believe the point, is, and should be that LEAA has been paying Mr. and Mrs. Deeds' salaries as well as Mr. Fotis' salary for them to campaign for Mr. Fotis.  Who is to say what other funds from LEAA have been used for the campaign as well.  All of those poor LEAA members who truly believed their hard-earned money was being used to support 2nd Amendment Rights as well as Victim Rights.   Hopefully this will be an eye-opener for them as well.</description>

		<description>The comment in question, which claims to speak on my behalf about an investigation that I have never conducted, and claims I am about to make some announcement of which I know nothing about, has been deleted.

I have also blocked the IP addresses that Mr. Ted Deeds has used to access this site at my server.  His outrageous behavior will no longer be tolerated.

Ted Deeds is a fraud and a persistent liar.  I am deeply disturbed that Jim Fotis would ever want to associate with someone so thoroughly reprehensible, and deeply concerned that this reprobate would be granted any position of authority within the LEAA.  His behavior is outrageous.

Instead of taking time to rage against his despicable behavior, instead I am going to knock on doors for the rest of the afternoon and urge voters to vote for Glen Hill on June 12th.</description>

		<description>It gets worse Jason...he's posted what appears to a press release in the comments section of the "Glen Hill" thread alleging all of his accusations, aka lies, to be the work of Greg.  He's really done it now, especially if he DID post it through media contacts as a release.  Teddy here has really crossed the line.</description>

		<description>You can take the collective responses to mean that NOBODY BELIEVES A WORD YOU SAY Ted.  You have become irrelevent to this subject matter and would be wise to move on.  You've done sufficient damage to Fotis already, and I thank you.  I can't say it's been a pleasure.</description>

		<description>So, do I take your collective responses to mean that those who are Hill supporters have no problem with Sheriff Hill creating a special form for would-be gun buyers to complete...

Despite the fact that the Sheriff lack a legal footing to create such a form

Despite the fact that the incumbent Sheriff, seeking re-election chose to include totally inapporopriate and irrelevant questions on his from.

Are all Hill supporters on here of one voice that the "ends justify the means"?  The Sheriff can do whatever he wasnts, be as unfair and as hostile as he wants to any sub-group of gun onwers and its all 'okay' by you because it is part of Sheriff Hill just doin his job.

I think there are voters out there, who support the Second Amendment, who would disagree.</description>
