Exactly D$D, perhaps the PPA should take a page or 2 from FoF, the main company has the general stuff and there are 20 other sub sites they own and run.

No, we do not need that many, but, at least another legally seperate site such as they use, Focus on the Family Action which states on the main page:

Focus on the Family Action is a new cultural action organization that is completely separate from Focus on the Family, legally. It has been created by separating out of Focus on the Family those activities which constitute lobbying under the IRS code so that they can be expanded in scope. It will provide a platform for informing, inspiring and rallying those who care deeply about the family to greater involvement in the moral, cultural and political issues that threaten our nation.

FWIW I fully support the PPA..I am yet to see evidence that the PPA is not working in and for "my" best interests..The PPA Fly-in IMO was a huge success a proof of the PPA intentions..

The PPA as a 501(c)(3), is pretty much limited to lobbing and education, fly-ins and such. For the PPA to become a true grassroots organization that can operate as political force it needs 501(c)(4) or 527 status.

You can not directly advocate the election or defeat of a Federal Candidate without the change. You could continue to operate as a 501(c)(3), but you are severly limited in what you can advocate and do during an election cycle.
