I think Kelly is correct, but let's remember to ask about it tonight.
 
If it were intentionally sent by INC, that would be different, but we only  
provide the open forum, we can't control everything that is said by the  
member/users.

This communication is not the same as INC taking a stand on a  political 
office holder. This is communication to a listserv from an  individual about 
an issue--health care reform--that is relevant to quality of  life issues for 
Durham residents. I view it as a citizen/member sharing  information with 
other INC members not as an official INC communication or  position.

Just MHO.

While I'm not sure it is specifically noted in  the revised draft By-Laws 
for INC or not,  I do believe that the board  in years past has adhered to a 
policy of not taking sides regarding elected  political office holders.
 
And correct me if I'm wrong but didn't INC  file as a not for profit (or 
similar term) earlier this year with the  Secretary of State that prohibits 
taking political positions such as signing  petitions or advocating for them 
against an individual (versus speaking up  for a particular issue or proposed 
bill)?
 
Lobbying for or against a political figure such  as Senator Burr definitely 
is something that other organizations have in  their mission statements,  
but I'm not sure if it fits in  INC's.

Subject:  [durhamenviro] Fw: Ask Senator Bur to give up his public health 
insurance  coverage - Petition







As a member of Congress, Senator Richard Burr  receives cadillac health 
insurance coverage subsidized by  taxpayers.

Yet, Senator Burr is opposed to any public plan  for healthcare.  He 
insists that government healthcare is  inferior.  If it's so inferior, Senator 
Burr, why have you  glommed onto it.

Sign the following petition to let him  know that North Carolinians want 
him to walk his talk and give up  his government insurance.

The  petition is sponsored by the BlueNC blog, which can be found  here:
