[EL] Unusual Ad in Utah's Major Paper

Sun Nov 6 22:25:27 PST 2016

yes, sarcasm.  I've donated to Bend the Arc.  I like the org.  I guessed from Edward's post (missing attachment) that the misspelling of "arc" was used in whatever the (missing) ad was.  

Still, I bristle at politicians in Temple these days.   And in the pulpits of other "nonprofits."   

And after a number of access-fests-cum-galas, I've come to think that, to a very large extent, nonprofits are where the corruption's at these days.

I cannot tell if David Holtzman’s last post was written with sarcasm font, and I’m not entirely sure what Edward Still’s earlier post was referring to (I could not see any ad attached or linked to), but just for the record, “Bend the Arc:  A Jewish Partnership for Justice” did not misspell “Ark.”  The name does not refer either to Noah’s or the Temple’s “Ark,” but to Martin Luther King, Jr.’s quote: “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.”

It’s a very worthwhile organization, by the way.

So.  In California, "Bend the Arc: A Jewish Partnership for Justice" may have gotten the spelling of Ark wrong, but offers a guide to the statewide ballot propositions:
http://www.bendthearc.us/sites/default/files/bend-the-arc-2016-voter-guide.pdf

which reminds me:
Bend the Arc has a PAC and a 501(c)(4) piece,

but I don't know of any temple/synagogue that has those.
I saw this picture on Facebook recently
(since I doubt it will display to the group, I'll tell you that
it shows [L.A. Mayor] Eric Garcetti and temple members at a Metro station holding signs that
read in relevant part, "Leo Baeck Temple ... Measure M ... VOTE YES"):

I wondered if this is a no-no of any sort for a temple.  (It says on its website
"LBT is a non-profit organization and your gift is tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.")
I also wondered if the federal government treats state ballot measures differently than state candidate elections for tax law purposes.
Forgive me if I've asked about that before.
