Scofflaws ping!
What kind of law can't be broken?..............
Er, you're looking for a grammatical error or ambiguity where there is none.
Better luck next time.
Nope, neither. I was just pointing out the author's title choice of words was making a statement that is absurd. Of course they can break le law. They do it everyday! What good are laws if you can't break them?............
bttt
You are so clever. I stand in awe.
/sarc
You must've knocked them dead in the fifth grade.
I am educated well beyond my intelligence. Or so I've been told...........
Once again this post has been shunted off into the bloggers ghetto.
It only took about two hours to put together. It would be a highly effective tool for our side to use against Hate America, Inc.
This is what is known as "activism."
If I had talked about the hot chicks on FOX, or asked what everyone's favorite movie theme it, it would have gone into news/activism and probably even breaking news.
Why bother?
It has been threateningly said to pro-life groups over the years also, that if you or anyone who is a part of your group protests outside an abortion clinic and is arrested, we will revoke your 501c3 status.
"It has been threateningly said to pro-life groups over the years also, that if you or anyone who is a part of your group protests outside an abortion clinic and is arrested, we will revoke your 501c3 status."
I wasn't aware of that. But I'm sure you're correct.
The hate America crowd is encyclopedic in their knowledge of the law when it suits their purposes.
If you have some citations for this, that would be great.
I operate a 501(c)(3) non-profit in strict compliance with IRS code!
We did name the ACLU didn't we? Nothing they do serves to reduce the public burden.
The law of gravity
Thanks for posting this.
Reform in this area and strict enforcement of the laws on the books re pseudo charities needs to be enacted.
......and Murphy's Law.......
FYI and ping lists.
It the phoney lib charities lost their tax free status, they and their main benefactor George $oreA$$ would lose a lot of their power and ability to create anarchy in America.
Richard, this might worth one of your great opeds.
Cuba is one of the most beautiful and fascinating countries on Earth—and George Bush says you can’t go there. Well, we’re going anyway, and we invite you to join us!
This New Year’s CODEPINK will be organizing a large group of fun-loving and freedom-loving Americans to break George Bush’s ban on travel to Cuba. Join co-founders Medea Benjamin and Jodie Evans, together with Academy Award winning producer Paul Haggis, as we visit with farmers at their co-ops, doctors at their family clinics, dancers at the National Folklore Group, and young people at the ballpark. Don’t miss this historic chance to dance salsa, drink mojitos, and visit beautiful beaches—all while defending our constitutional rights!!!
The federal restrictions barring travel to Cuba are not only counterproductive and outmoded in this post-Cold War context, but also a violation of our constitutional freedom to travel. The Bush administration says we can only travel to Cuba if we have immediate family there. Well, we do. Cubans ARE family—Somos Familia. And while we’re there, we’ll be holding a mutual adoption ceremony in order to demonstrate that family transcends political boundaries. In the ceremony, each participant will be paired with a Cuban brother or sister. After all, we are all part of one human family and there should be no artificial barriers dividing us. This historic opportunity to visit Cuba will cost approximately $1,500 (to Cancun) or $1,800 (to Mexico City). Participants will fly out of three points of entry: San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York. We will all meet in Mexico City, where we will then take a chartered flight to Havana. Our trip this New Years will truly be a family affair. Feel free to bring children, parents, partners, neighbors, and friends. It is a trip designed for all ages, interests, and backgrounds (family rates available).
After seven action-packed days on this wonderful island, we will re-enter the United States through these same three points of entry. This re-entry will be a powerful challenge to Bush’s restrictive policies that deny us our fundamental liberty to travel where we please. Though past high-profile “travel challenge” groups have experienced no adverse legal consequences to date, we will have our lawyers ready at each airport of entry to provide legal aid, if necessary.
Because we will be traveling to Cuba without government permission (i.e. a license from the US treasury), CODEPINK participants will be breaking the embargo and therefore subject to civil penalties. (For further questions on the legal implications of unauthorized travel to Cuba, check out www.nlg.org/cuba). With these risks in mind, your participation in our trip is a crucial protest in the growing movement to end the travel ban.
We expect a huge response to this trip, so get your applications in early. Also year–end travel gets booked up VERY early (especially the return flights after New Years), so make your plans early! We look forward to spending some marvelous days together, while pushing to overturn a policy that keeps us from building bonds of friendship with our neighbors.
If you are interested in participating in this trip, please contact Dana (at) codepinkalert.org. You can also reach Dana by calling the CODEPINK office at (310) 827-4320.
Incredible.
It would be nice if everyone was arrested on their return from Cuba.
It has also be used against churches.
