Jerry --
Just a quick question. The list can respond, too. While I clearly understand
not endorsing a given candidate or party over the other, what is defined as
partisan political activity? Can we help out with a "burning issue" group,
such as Planned Parenthood or Citizens for Life? We have assisted before
with the presentation of the AIDS quilt in WNY. WHile not inherently
political, it did attract several groups associated with the left. In other
events, I am sure some chapters have unintentionally gotten themselves
involved with political groups from any wing. So, where does one draw the
line in a gray area such as this? I am aware chapters should use their own
judgement, but does anybody have rational guuidelines or ideas for where we
should or should not go in terms of causes?
