They were applying to be, and I quote "social welfare organizations", which cannot engage primarily in political activity. Then all these "Tea Party" this and "Patriot" that organizations popped up trying to funnel money into political causes masquerading as "social welfare organizations". So many conservative organizations were doing the same thing, and using the same words to describe themselves, it made them very easy to find. Just an example of bureaucracy being efficient for once.
