6. Because frontpagemag is breaking the law
If you advocate for a candidate, you can't be tax-deductible. Period.

8. Two things
If their deductions are tax-deductibe, they are probably claiming 501(c)3 status. Check that.

Then look for posts, articles, etc. that advocate for one candidate or against another.

Then research which govt agency decides whether someone gets to be 501(c)3.

Go.

9. From the Horowitz's mouth....
The Center for the Study of Popular Culture is a 501(c)3 tax deductible organization. As such, your contribution may be all or partially tax deductible."

10. Part one down
Find articles where they tell you to vote for Bush, or against Kerry, or both.
