20% of the first $500,000, 15% of the next $500,000, 10% of the next $500,000, and 5% of the rest, with a cap of $1 million. The limit for "grassroots lobbying", such as the blackout, is 25% of that. And this is all only if they make an election under 501(h). >> Basically that means they can say "this is good and that's good" - but they >> can't actually endorse a party or individual.
