Unless you are acting as an agent of the organization, you do not speak for it, hence this is untrue. Someone could try to make a case for it, but private citizens have the right to voice their opinions. I would suggest not having a signature line that advertises your 501(c)(3) (not just c3) group. As for encouraging people to lie about their origins, I think most of the posts here have been more in favor of NOT claiming something you can't prove than the other way around. ----- Original Message ----- From: Thomas F Brown <tombrown@jhu.edu> To: <NATIVEAMERICAN-DELMARVA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2000 8:25 PM Subject: Re: Subject: FACT SHEET 2000 > > Is your organization a c3 nonprofit?
