FWIW, this is a public forum sponsered by an organization that has

In that case trilug will have to amend the fifth article in the Articles of Incorporation: ( http://www.trilug.org/articles.php )
(excerpt):
"No substantial part of the activities of the corporation shall be the carrying on of propaganda, or otherwise attempting to influence legislation, and the corporation shall not participate in, or intervene in (including the publishing or distribution of statements) any political campaign on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for public office."
