(KUAR) A separate left-leaning group called End Citizens United is concerned about the behavior of No Labels. They filed a complaint with the Internal Revenue Service saying the group is not operating as a non-profit as they are technically classified. Instead, the group alleges No Labels is functioning as a political party and acting to further their own financial interests.
“The facts strongly suggest that No Labels no longer operates exclusively for an exempt social welfare purpose as required by the Code,” the letter says. “Instead, No Labels’ public statements and reports of its financial activity strongly suggest it is operating in substantial part to sustain the political fortunes of the No Labels Party.”
End Citizens United is questioning No Labels’ financial backing and asking for them to be reclassified as a political party. Reporting by the PBS Newshour says granting this request would be unusual in American politics, but the chances are not impossible.
End Citizens United also sent a request to Republican Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin asking for No Labels’ status as a tax-exempt organization to be examined. The attorney general’s office said this request is out of the scope of what the office does.
