- 10 - The record is vague and inconsistent concerning the purported activities of petitioner. Petitioner has produced only one transcript of a seminar conducted from its website. The home page of petitioner has links to articles entitled “Constitutional Protection”, “Educational Outreach”, “Nationalist Ideology”, “Private Attorney-General”, “Pro-Democracy Methodology”, “Relief for the Poor”, and “Using the First Amendment as Democracy’s Shield and Sword”, which petitioner has refused to place in the administrative record. Also, petitioner has attempted to countermand and withdraw much of the administrative record, such that only a skeletal description of its activities would remain for the Court to examine if we were to allow petitioner to modify the administrative record. The reasonable inference from the record is that petitioner does not meet the requirements of section 501(c)(3). The few activities of petitioner that have been disclosed fall outside of the definitions of “charitable” and “educational” under section 501(c)(3). Section 1.501(c)(3)-1(d)(2), Income Tax Regs., specifically states that examples of charitable activities are ones designed “to lessen neighborhood tension” and “to eliminate prejudice and discrimination.” Petitioner’s actions serve the purpose of increasing social activism of promajority and rightist beliefs and are antithetical to these examples.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 Next
