James, do we need to take Geoff's time up with something so thoroughly documented elsewhere? I'd suggest starting with this web site: http://www.clpi.org/

Hi Geoff,

Your link to http://www.irs.gov/charities/charitable/article/0,,id=120703,00.html in [1], which is cited in turn at [2], is dead, and archive.org won't show me what it used to be for some reason.

Do you please have a current link for the IRS regulations concerning political advocacy by nonprofits?

Also, do you think it would be a good idea to make an annotated version for those of us wondering what is and is not allowed when recommending advocacy actions in support of volunteer quality of life to Foundation officials? Thank you.

Best regards, James Salsman

Thanks, Tillman, I still get the error below and a timeout from archive.org, so a Wikimedia annotated copy would really help.

I am specifically interested in which items in http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/advocacy_advisors/2014-March/000420.htm... are precluded.
