Via Gateway Pundit on an email from CREW he recieved.

“My name is Angela from CREW and I thought you might be interested in a few highly controversial clips from the upcoming film CONVENTIONEERS. Shooting entirely in New York, director Mora Stephens and producer Joel Viertel utilizes the 2004 Republican National Convention by incorporating events of the RNC into the storyline of the film. The film blends actors with real events and real activists from both sides of the aisle, and features breaK through performances by actors Mathew Mabe and Woodwvn Koons as the two star-crossed lovers and Alex Friedman as the interpreter, all of whom must choose between their political ideas and their personal desires during the tumultuous days of the convention.

CONVENTIONEERS will be in limited release beginning October 20, 2006, just in time for the election season. Exclusively on iklipz, we have available the behind the scenes footage of Mora and Joel’s arrest as well as a look inside the Republican National Convention through CONVENTIONEERS.”

Seems CREW is supporting Democrats in the coming elections by encouraging viewing of this GOP bashing film. Since they are a “Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) is a non-profit, progressive legal watchdog group dedicated to holding public officials accountable for their actions”, it may be that they violated the substance of their Non profit status and as such could have it revoked.

From the IRS Code on 501(c)(3):

“To be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, an organization must be organized and operated exclusively for purposes set forth in section 501(c)(3), and none of its earnings may inure to any private shareholder or individual. In addition, it may not attempt to influence legislation as a substantial part of its activities and it may not participate in any campaign activity for or against political candidates.”

Maybe time for the IRS to have a look at the books.
