PrioritiesUSA is a 501(c)(4). Moveon.org is a 501(c)(4). The Advocacy Fund is a 501(c)(4).

There are many, many more. If you broaden the scope to all 501(c) groups, then you run into the tens of thousands of tax-exempt progressive organizations advocating for some issue. MediaMatters, for example, is a 501(c)(3).

Booman needs to do some more homework before spouting off.
