Crossroads and their minions all applied for this status as a way to game the system.

Rove's application described Crossroads' attempt to influence elections as "limited."

"One of the applications the IRS released to ProPublica was from Crossroads GPS, the largest social-welfare nonprofit involved in the 2012 election.
