Tax-exempt/tax-deductible nonprofit organizations like Pacifica face strict limits on lobbying activities. (Donations to lobbying organizations are not tax deductible.) To clarify the rules and allow a little more leeway, several years ago the Congress passed a law allowing nonprofits to elect a particular status that would let them spend more money on lobbying, but require somewhat more detailed reporting (Part VI-A on this page). Typically, organizations spending less than 5% of their budgets on lobbying need not elect this status, and Pacifica apparently did not. Pacifica reported just $8,422 in lobbying expenses in 1995-1996 (Part VI-B, line g), about one-tenth of 1% of its revenue in this year.
