[EL] Planned Parenthood Candidate Endorsement

[Scarberry, Mark]

We just received a mailer paid for by a Democratic congressional candidate stating that Planned Parenthood supports her candidacy.

Planned Parenthood(Planned Parenthood Federation of America?) is a 501(c)(3), I think, though I think it also has a 501(c)(4) affiliate, the Planned Parenthood Action Fund.

Perhaps the candidate simply failed to use the correct name (Planned Parenthood Action Fund, I assume). Is a (c)(4) affiliate is entitled to endorse a candidate using the generic name of the umbrella organization?
