determine the nonprofit status of American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC)

Created by J.C. on April 24, 2012

American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) reports to be a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. As a 501(c)(3) its donors receive tax deductions for their charitable contributions. ALEC actively engages in lobbying for legislative causes. We believe that this status should be reviewed by the internal revenue service because Section 501(c)(3) organizations are subject to limits or absolute prohibitions on engaging in political activities. We, the undersigned, believe that ALEC may have violated this status by lobbying local, state and federal government for passing of legislation. In addition, we believe that ALEC has made frequent political contributions. We the undersigned call on the Internal Revenue Service to fully investigate the organization known as ALEC .
