Examples
“After the law was enacted in 2007, AIPAC, which had sponsored congressional trips to Israel since the 1990s, campaigned to create⟳ an exception for 501(c)(3) organizations that lobbying groups could use⟳ to get⟳ around the law. Both 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) groups are tax-exempt nonprofits, but 501(c)(4) groups — including AIPAC — are considered “social welfare” organizations, which are allowed to spend⟳ more than 20 percent of their resources on lobbying the government.”
