Nationwide Call for 501c Organizations on 527 Legislation

From the Alliance for Justice:

Conference Call for 501(c) Sector: Why 501(c)s should be concerned about 527 Reform legislation

Proposals to reform the political nonprofits known as “527s” are once again moving through Congress. The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed H.R. 513, the 527 Reform Act of 2006, and similar 527 reform legislation may be added as an amendment to the House’s final lobbying reform bill. While 527 reform was not included in the Senate’s lobbying reform package, the Senate is expected to address 527 Reform later this spring.

In light of this legislative activity, we invite all 501(c) organizations to participate in a nationwide conference call: Thursday, April 27, 2006, at 3:30 EST

Call-in Number: 866-365-4406

Access Code: 5304255

This nationwide conference call will feature:

Liz Towne of Alliance for Justice,
David Keating of Club for Growth and
Larry Gold of Lichtman, Trister & Ross.

Please RSVP for the call to kyle@afj.org.
