I do believe that this would not be "political advocacy". Hel's Gate, 
Brother, folks like the NAACP, ACLU, etc are eversomuch more involved in 
real "party advocacy" than we would ever be... This is to have our input on 
a vital issue that could effect our future existance as an organization in 
the state of Texas. Lobbying is a much better term... I dare say that it 
would certainly be non-partisan in nature... And fall well with-in the 
guidelines set by the "Power-that-be" in the IRS...

On this I agree with you 110%, Brother...!!
