501(c)(3): Public Advocate is barred from endorsing candidates and campaigns

The Democratic Party establishment from Tennessee to Washington is in political collapse today because of Public Advocate supporter and volunteer Mark Clayton.

You see, Mark has won the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate in TN to face establishment Senator Bob Corker in November.

This is a major blow for the Homosexual Lobby and their allies entrenched in the Democratic Party's leadership. In the run up to the primary, Mark openly stood up for true marriage and the Family. It was not a secret or a trick.

When given the opportunity to listen without the heavy-handed tactics of the party leadership, even most Democrats believe in true marriage and the Family.

Public Advocate is barred from endorsing candidates and campaigns. And if it wasn't for recent events, I wouldn't mention this race to you.

But the Democratic leadership has now disavowed Mark and attacked him over his affiliation with your Public Advocate.

As expected, they refer to your Public Advocate as a "hate group". And they are branding anyone who stands with us as "bigots" and "hate-mongers."

That is why this is so much larger than a primary election in Tennessee.

If the Homosexual Lobby and their allies have their way, anyone who dares to disagree with homosexual "marriage" or fight for traditional values should be targeted.

That is why your Public Advocate fought tooth-and-nail against the Disclose Act, which would force me to publicly release the names of our donors thereby creating target lists for harassment and intimidation by radical homosexual activists.

It is why we fought against the Thought Control Bill, which could now be used to imprison folks like Mark who dare to publicly stand up to the Homosexual Agenda.

And why Public Advocate is fighting the Homosexual Classrooms Act, which would indoctrinate school kids into the belief that the love of family values is a "hate crime."

In short, the attacks on Mark Clayton are a perfect example of why Public Advocate fights.

Mark demonstrates the simple premise that an American patriot can put his or her name on the ballot and win big by supporting true marriage and the Family -- even in the Democratic Party.

But by daring to publicly disagree with the Homosexual Agenda, Mark is now the focus of brutal attacks and smears as the Homosexual Lobby and their allies attempt to silence him.

I will keep you informed as this story continues to build.

For the Family,

Eugene Delgaudio
President, Public Advocate of the United States

P.S. Please prayerfully consider chipping in with a donation of $10 or more to help Public Advocate fight for traditional values.

IRS sizes up groups' tax-exempt status

The Internal Revenue Service may be weighing changes to how it polices tax-exempt political groups amid charges the tax agency has been lax on enforcement for a new breed of campaign funding organizations with vast resources.

Tax-exempt groups are raising and spending record amounts of money in attempting to sway the November 6 elections, bolstered by the Supreme Court's landmark "Citizens United" ruling in 2010, which lifted some political contribution limits in federal elections.

Consumer groups have been pushing the IRS to clarify the standards for these so-called "social welfare organizations," as Section 501(c)(4) of the U.S. tax code calls them, to ensure that they are not abusing their tax-exempt status.

"We will consider proposed changes in this area," Lois Lerner, director for tax-exempt groups at the IRS, said in a July 17 letter to public interest groups.

The significance of the letter is unclear, with one former IRS official in the tax-exempt division calling it a standard response.

"The standard practice is to send a formulaic letter," said Marc Owens, who led the IRS tax-exempt division from 1990 to 2000.

The Campaign Legal Center, one of the groups seeking IRS action, said the letter was a recognition of the problem after more than a year of silence.

"I've been referring to the IRS as a black box," said Paul Ryan, a lawyer at the Campaign Legal Center, one of the protesting groups. "We for years have been sending correspondence and have never received a single word back from the agency until now."

One of the biggest of these new groups is American Crossroads, co-founded by Republican strategist Karl Rove. Crossroads plans, with a sister organization, to raise $300 million to help defeat Democratic President Barack Obama.

Democrats, who also run 501(c)(4) groups, have been far less successful at fundraising. The Democrats' Priorities USA aims to raise just a fraction of the amount targeted by Rove's group.
DEFENSE?

The letter said the IRS would work with the Treasury Department and the IRS Office of Chief Counsel to "identify tax issues that should be addressed through regulations" and other means surrounding the issue.

The IRS tax-exempt division is "taking the heat for the state of the law," said Beth Kingsley, a tax-exempt lawyer at the firm of Harmon, Curran. "They don't really have the power to make changes and they may want to make that point."

The advocacy groups want a rule-making process to clarify the meaning of "social welfare" and how groups can meet the tax-exempt test.

The 501(c)(4) groups themselves argue that as long as the majority of their work is not overt political campaigning, they qualify for tax-exempt status.

In a potential show of new enforcement, the IRS denied tax-exempt status to two small political groups in recent months, prompting concern among the organizations that they could lose the ability to collect anonymous donations, tax attorneys say.

Report: Women's Ordination Approved in Adventist Columbia Union Conference

"In a historic vote, the Columbia Union Conference becomes the first union in the Seventh-day Adventist Church to ordain women.
After hours of discussion including speeches from General Conference president Ted Wilson, GC vice-president Lowell Cooper, and North American Division president Daniel Jackson, the Columbia Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists voted 209 to 51 to authorize ordination to Gospel ministry without regard to gender. With their vote, the CUC joins the Nothern German Union in enacting ordination equality. The Pacific Union Conference will vote on a similar provision on August 19."

After hours of discussion including speeches from General Conference president Ted Wilson, GC vice-president Lowell Cooper, and North American Division president Daniel Jackson, the Columbia Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists voted 209 to 51 to authorize ordination to Gospel ministry without regard to gender. With their vote, the CUC joins the Nothern German Union in enacting ordination equality. The Pacific Union Conference will vote on a similar provision on August 19.
Today's special constituency session lasted over three hours. During the meeting, both Elder Wilson and Elder Cooper spoke in strong opposition to the motion to move independently of the world-wide Church, which is currently conducting a study on ordination. Wilson predicted dire consequences for deviation from the desisions of the General Conference in session.
The meeting began with worship, during which Daniel Jackson spoke to delegates of love and of God's Spirit.
"The hallmark of the church is that we love each other," Jackson said, adding that the body's primary responsibility, personally and collectively was to God. Jackson did not directly address the issue at hand, but instead appealed to the work of God. "Either the Spirit of God was poured out in Bible times, or it wasn't," Jackson said, adding, "And if it was then, it is today."
After Jackson, President Wilson addressed delegates.
He framed the issue as one of unity or disunity: "I come to you today because I care about the unity of the church at large," Wilson said.
Wilson appealed to his father, former General Conference president Neal C. Wilson, saying, "If dad were alive today, he would be very concerned about today's recommendation, as are thousands around the world."
The president then warned that a vote in favor of ordaining women might lead to "fragmentation, congregationionalism and a breakdown in collegaialism." But Wilson was quick to add to his warnings, "I'm not threatening you in any way, just presenting facts."
He then took issue with the idea that the vote would put the CUC at variance with the World Church, calling variance "a nice, polite word." "In reality, if voted it will put you in opposition to World Church," Wilson said. The president repeatedly used phrases such as "grave consequences" and "out of harmony" to describe the move to ordain equally.
Wilson again appealed to delegates to defer to the ongoing process of study, that he said would involved the Biblical Research Institute, an entity that thus far has been excluded.
Following Wilson's remarks, Vice-president Cooper addressed delegates reiterating the appeal to "refrain from autonomous action." Both Wilson and Cooper made political appeals, but did not address biblical or theological issues.
After Cooper, Wilson added a few more comments, saying that he was inviting delegates "to be integral part of remnant church." The clear implication was that by voting for ordination equality, they would be outside the confines of the remnant church. The president concluded by saying, "I implore you, do not vote the recommended action...we should stay in harmony with each other and not branch out independently, which could have devastating effects."
Following remarks from the General Conference leadership, members of the CUC Ad Hoc Committee that brought the recommendation to ordain equally spoke about their process.
Potomac Conference president William Miller provided a brief history of the move in CUC to be gender inclusive. He demonstrated that the process goes back to the 1970s. Miller pointed out that in the past when similar discussions arose, people predicted dire consequences, but "The earthquake didn't happen," Miller said repeatedly. Miller showed that policies affecting women in ministry were historically enacted at local, grassroots levels, and then were eventually adopted by the world church. Whenever changes toward inclusivity were made, Miller said, they were not initiated by the World Church.
"One of our favorite pastimes as denomination is to commission another study," Miller said pointedly.
Ohio Conference president Raj Attiken was next to speak. He noted that authority in the Adventist denomination has historically rested with people at local levels, and has flowed up through delegation. Attiken addressed the idea of church unity, saying that unity lies in ideals rather than church structure. "Diveristy is intrinsic to authentic unity," he told the audience.
Attiken pointed out that in 1881, the General Conference voted to ordain women, and there was no dissent from Ellen White. A little later, Attiken shared a statement from Ellen White, in which she said that "The General Conference ought to be the voice of God, but it is not."
Next, pastor Brenda Langford Billingy delivered a rousing speech in which she compared ordination to graduation. She pointed to her own prospering congregation as evidence of God's enabling power through women ministers. After dressing in a CAP and gown "of grace" to illustrate God's calling, Billingy concluded by movingly turning in her ministerial credentials.
"I brought my commissioning diploma. I will leave it on the table in hopes that as you vote today...I will be able to see our president sign his name on this diploma and choose to put X over the word commissioning and write in 'ordained.' All heaven awaits your vote," she said to loud appluase.
Immediately after Billingy finished, the motion came from the CUC ledership: "MOTION - That the Columbia Union Conference authorize ordination to the gospel ministry without regard to gender."
The floor was opened to delegates to speak to the motion. Delegates were given two minutes each to speak. Some who opposed the motion ignored the two-minute stricture and attempted to continue speaking after their time elapsed. The commenters gave the impression that a majority of delegates supported the motion, though speakers on both sides spoke equally passionately. Many speakers appealed to their families. Some appealed to unity, others to inclusivity. Some praised the action, others denounced it.
Following comments, an amendment was offered to the motion to clarify its wording. However, several minutes of confusion ensued as delegates tried to understand what they were being asked to vote. After much deliberation, the amendment was voted down, and CUC president David Weigley called for a vote on the original motion.
Delegates voted by secret ballot. After several minutes of voting and vote tabulation, Weigley called the group to order to announce the result of the vote.
Weigley announced that there were 260 votes with 9 abstentions and a few blank cards received. Of those who voted, 209 voted yes, 51 no. The motion carried with 80% support. Weigley told the audience, "This is not a surprise to those of us who have been listening carefully around this union."
Weigley went on to akcnowledge the leaders from the General Conference and the North American Division who attended, and asked NAD president Dan Jackson to close with prayer. Following Jackson's benediction, the congregation sang together "Blest Be the Ties That Bind."
On August 19, the Pacific Union Conference will be the second union within the North American Division to hold a special constituency session related to ordaining equally. The PUC will be voting on changes to the GC model constitution in order to allow for a previously approved policy permitting ordination without regard to gender. Because delegates will vote to change the constitution and by-laws, that vote will require a 2/3 majority for passage.
