#41...yes the 501(3)(c) rules dont apply because grexdoesnt have that
status, but grex's bylaws do state dont they that grex has to abide by
those rules anyway.

this came up in agora when I was asking about grex endorsing political
candidates and the answer I got was that grex couldnt because it was
bound by the bylaws to follow what would be the rules if it were a
501(3)(c) even though it is not.

It would be hypocritical to say that in one case grex has to follow
501(3)(c) rules (and therefore not endorse Larry Kestenbaum if he runs for
state rep) but in the other case of the grex store and the 1/3 requirement
it doesnt have to follow the rules.
