(Inside Investigator) The organization End Citizens United (ECU) has already submitted a complaint to the Internal Revenue Service, but is also submitting a complaint to DCP, “alleging fraudulent misuse of its nonprofit status as it prepares to launch a third-party presidential ticket,” the ECU press release said.
“In its attempt to run a third-party presidential ticket, No Labels is abusing its nonprofit status in Connecticut and we believe Commissioner Bryan Cafferelli should investigate and hold them accountable,” ECU President Tiffany Muller said. “No Labels is a shadowy dark money political group that is grossly exploiting Connecticut laws which are designed to benefit legitimate social welfare organizations.”

“The volume of time and money spent on this work compared to anything else that the organization is doing demonstrates that No Labels no longer operates ‘exclusively for the promotion of social welfare’ as required by section 501(c)(4). Muller wrote to the IRS on January 23, 2024. “Instead, the organization appears to operate primarily to convey a non-incidental private benefit to the No Labels Party to oppose the candidacies of Joe Biden and Donald Trump.”

However, ECU says that if No Labels is able to secure their Unity ticket in Connecticut it will set a “dangerous precedent” moving forward because of how they raise money and use their nonprofit status.
“If No Labels’ corrupt charade continues unchecked, it will set a dangerous precedent for future elections,” Muller said in the press release.
