ACS CAN has launched a nationwide grassroots campaign, including running phone banks and local advertising, to line up support for a vote on the Amendment, which may come as early as today.

This is NOT a grassrots effort of any kind - this is lobbying being done by a tax-exempt so-called health organization.....

The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) is the nonprofit, nonpartisan sister advocacy organization of the American Cancer Society. ACS CAN is dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major public health problem through voter education and issue campaigns aimed at influencing candidates and lawmakers to support laws and policies that will help people fight cancer.

The more I read of this more and more ticked off I am getting.

This is not "voter education" it is out and out lobbying and electioneering - both violations of non-profit tax exempt status it enjoys.

These lobbying efforts need to be called what they are and these NGO's need to be totally stripped of their tax exempt status.

The IRS is all over every day tax payers for the littlest thing - but these groups day in and day out blatantly fault the laws and are given a pass.

Why is there no outrage over it??????
