Stipulations applicable to organizations claiming tax exemption under the 527 sections of the IRS Code:
527 Group – A tax-exempt group organized under section 527 of the Internal Revenue Code to raise money for political activities including voter mobilization efforts, issue advocacy and the like. Currently, the FEC only requires a 527 group to file regular disclosure reports if it is a political party or political action committee (PAC) that engages in either activities expressly advocating the election or defeat of a federal candidate, or in electioneering communications. Otherwise, it must file either with the government of the state in which it is located or the Internal Revenue Service. Many 527s run by special interest groups raise unlimited "soft money," which they use for voter mobilization and certain types of issue advocacy, but not for efforts that expressly advocate the election or defeat of a federal candidate or amount to electioneering communications.

Donate to Help Beat Bush & Elect John Kerry
We simply can’t afford four more years of George W. Bush. With your support, MoveOn PAC will undertake a groundbreaking, precinct-level neighbor-to-neighbor campaign we're calling Leave No Voter Behind. We will hire 500 organizers in the last weeks before the election to work in 10,000 key neighborhoods in battleground states to get 440,000 new votes for John Kerry to the polls. If you'd like to donate via check, please use our check contributions system. See bottom of page for privacy details and contribution rules.

Clearly moveon.org violates the requirement to:
"but not for efforts that expressly advocate the election or defeat of a federal candidate "

Swift Vets do not advocate votes for anybody.

Wow, that looks pretty clear.

I keep going back to the title of Hugh Hewitt's new book, "If it's not close, they can't cheat!"

I wonder how long it's going to take to get all the FEC complaints and lawsuits settled after this election is over.

Yah, this McCain-Feingold thing is working realllllll well.
