For instance, they accept censorship No. They have tax exemption because they fit into a certain pigeon-hole. If they don't conform to the pigeon-hole, then they have to pay taxes. To put it simply (ridiculously simply), if you have tax exempt status as a green circle, you can't actually be a red square. Google IRS code 501(c)(3) -- it won't kill you to actually look this up. A 501(c)(3) organization can't endorse any candidate. They can engage in non-partisan political activity. If they get involved in partisan politics, they lose their tax exempt status. If they want to engage in partisan politics and also pay taxes, nobody is stopping them.
