I went to Rock The Vote's "non-partisan" website and saw that they were listed as a non-profit although the site did not elaborate.

This article on Wired from 1996 says that they are prohibited from taking a political stance with the non-profit status (never identified as 501c3):

Lite Rock

Rock the Vote was established as a nonprofit, meaning that it can't take partisan political stances without running the risk of having its tax-exempt status yanked. But now that status appears to rest on a razor's edge. In this week's issue, the conservative Weekly Standard presents a harsh indictment of what it sees as RTV's leftist political bias.

Here is the current thread on the bias of Rock the Vote:

And here is the illegal advocacy banner ad that I saw on their site. They are prohibited from telling visitors to vote Yes/No on any ballot initiative or for/against any candidate:

Someone needs to report this to the IRS if it can be shown just what their non-profit and tax exempt status is (from what I can find online, they were still tax exempt in 2000).

Most of the lefty 501c3s are in violation, we should get them all.

Its pretty easy to tell how they are set up, if they are a 501c3 they will say contributions are tax deductible, if they are a 501c4 they are not.

I saw an interview with RTV's 32? yr old president. Not too bright. Stayed on point with all DNC talking points. Said outright that Bush had to go.
