[USMA:30986] Re: Fwd: Re: America's progress

[David King]

From my limited understanding of the 501(c)3 regulations, any 
organisation that is registered as such may well benefit for tax 
purposes, but such organisations do come under far more regulation from 
the US Govt and are far more restricted than an organisation that is not 
501(c)3. I think it might be better for USMA to NOT be under 501(c)3 
restrictions/regulations. Ideally USMA needs the backing of big business 
or a millionnaire/billionnaire backer -- anyone know Bill Gates' 
position on metric?
