Yeah, I went to law school, but I'm not 100% up on my c3 vs c4 campaign law. Nonetheless, this story, below, strikes me as odd. Can a non-partisan organization invite one presidential candidate to speak and not the other? Don't they legally HAVE to invite both?
From the radical right's propaganda organ, AgapePress:
On Tuesday afternoon, President Bush will appeal to a key segment of voters who could help him win crucial swing states -- Roman Catholics. Bush is scheduled to address the annual convention of the Knights of Columbus -- the world's largest lay Catholic organization with 1.7 million members. About 2,500 Knights and their families are expected at the convention in Dallas, along with 60 bishops and 13 cardinals. The Knights of Columbus did not invite Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry -- a professed Catholic -- to speak. While officially nonpartisan, the conservative-leaning group strongly supports President Bush's opposition to abortion and homosexual marriage. The nation's 65 million Catholics constitute 27 percent of the electorate.
