dbpprop:abstract
  • A 527 organization or 527 group is a type of American tax-exempt organization named after a section of the United States tax code, 26 U.S.C. § 527. A 527 group is created primarily to influence the nomination, election, appointment or defeat of candidates for public office. Although candidate committees and political action committees are also created under Section 527, the term is generally used to refer to political organizations that are not regulated by the Federal Election Commission or by a state elections commission, and are not subject to the same contribution limits as PACs. However, On September 18, 2009 the Washington D. C Federal Appeals Court ruled that these groups have a First Amendment right to raise and spend freely to influence elections so long as they do not coordinate their activities with a candidate or a party.
  • Eine 527er-Gruppe, benannt nach einem Abschnitt des internal revenue code ist eine steuerbegünstigte Organisation in den USA, deren Ziel die Einflussnahme auf die Kandidatur, Nominierung, Wahl oder Abwahl von Kandidaten für öffentliche Ämter ist.
