NPR STORY ON NEW OBAMA 501c4

If you've followed my blog, you'll know that I am very concerned about the negative influence new politically active 501c4s are having on our democracy and the image of the nonprofit sector.  Below is a link to an NMP story that aired on 2/12/13.  It discusses the increasing number and expanding scope of these organizations including the recently formed Organizing for Action created by political operatives of President Obama to support his "agenda".  What worries me is that the line between nonprofit lobbying--which is perfectly legal--and wholesale nonprofit electioneering--which is not legal--is being totally obliterated.  Currently, the nonprofit legal structure is being used to circumvent the campaign finance laws that were developed to protect the integrity of our election process and to keep it financially transparent.  Thoughts?
