Who knew, that bar associations are non-profit charities?

And, according to the FoxNews update today, on the TV: King County Bar association receives taxpayer funds.

Bar Associations and Advocacy - NEO Law Group, August 4, 2017

Advocacy

Lobbying: unlimited, provided that the lobbying is related to the organization’s exempt purpose

Political campaign intervention: permissible, provided that such intervention does not constitute the organization’s primary activity (some organizations have taken the aggressive tax position that up to 49% of their financial resources can be spent on political campaign intervention activities without such activities becoming their primary activity)

Other: educating the public, encouraging voting, conducting research, changing corporate and consumer behavior, training others to advocate, influencing or educating legislators on non-legislative matters, influencing an administrative agency on regulations and rulings, influencing executive branch officials (e.g., mayors, governors, the President) on executive decisions, engaging in litigation, if done in a nonpartisan manner.

I recommend a posse of about 7 with balaclavas and guns at 3:00 a.m.

That ought to do the trick.
