Unity08 is a 527 non-profit. We chose to organize that way originally and then to seek an immediate advisory opinion from the Federal Elections Commission as to what we are. The law did not contemplate any entity such as ours, so we sought an FEC opinion on how best to proceed. The FEC ruled that we were a political committee that supports a candidate, which we obviously do not do, so we are challenging its conclusion in court.
We are complying with the IRS requirement that 527’s file a list of all contributors who make contributions in excess of $200, and we list on the website all contributions in excess of $200. Transparency is essential to the public’s trust.
