Currently, organizations do not need to report grassroots lobbying, which is when they contact their membership and the public or engage in some action that encourages people to call their federally elected officials. However, if Section 220 is included in S. 1, federal lobbying laws would apply to all groups that spend money to reach more than 500 people with a message urging them to contact their elected officials. For example, if UFWDA, a church, homeschool support group, NOHVCC, BRC, or any state association non-profit has a paid employee who emails more than 500 people asking them to call Congress about some issue, or puts an article on the Internet that is likely to reach more than 500 people, that group would be subject to federal lobbying laws. Organizations that engage in grassroots lobbying will have to comply with all federal lobbying disclosure laws, including registration with Congress and the filing of quarterly reports to Congress. Failure to comply would result in a fine of up to $100,000.

It's just bull****, any 4wd assoc who has a paid employee, who posted an announcement on this or any other bulletin board/forum, would be regulated by the feds.....as a lobbyist
