nonprofit tax-exempt status.

Seriously, if they are only spending 10% or less of their budget on education and the rest on messaging, they've gone the wrong direction really quick.

I noticed the same thing with the Komen Foundation when it came out against abortion. They were spending more and more on messaging and fundraising and less and less on their central mission, which SHOULD have been women's health.

All you have to do is look at the annual reports of these things and you can tell right off who is legit and who is not.
