Hi Geoff,

Would you please clarify which of the advocacy topics below, if any, are precluded by the restrictions at https://web.archive.org/web/20120621122539/http://www.irs.gov/charities/arti... ?

Since multiple people have claimed that some are without saying which, it would be very helpful to have some clarity from an authority. The topics were designed to address volunteer quality of life issues on which the Foundation has not been active because they were not considered when volunteer survey respondents were polled on their advocacy preferences. I am not interested in correcting those omissions with any topics which are precluded by IRS regulations.

Thank you!
