What about individuals that are income tax exempt because they earn less than the minimum taxable income? Can they not talk politics, either?
The more one considers a taxation/political sppech connection, the more ludicrous it becomes. Well, for some folks, anyway.
Churches better stop letting government use their facilities as voting precincts, too.
As has pointed out numerous times on this thread, everyone - whether they are 501(c)(3) or not - can talk politics.
I believe you mean can they electioneer? Of course they can. They are not 501(c)(3) orgs.

The IRS regs are narrowly tailored for 501(c)(3) orgs. It's not broad enough to encompass *every* situation where someone or something is tax exempt.
