Experts questioned these activities. “It appears that For Liberty & Justice is violating its 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status by assisting the campaign of Sen. Ted Cruz and the Republican Party,” said David Armiak, research director with the Center for Media and Democracy, a national watchdog organization. “According to IRS rules, 501(c)(3) organizations, including churches, ‘cannot participate in, or intervene in (including the publishing or distributing of statements) any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office.’ Distributing literature promoting ‘Block walking for the Cruz Campaign’ at the For Liberty & Justice event is a direct violation of this rule.”
