all of the following are examples of groups that promote causes EXCEPT
a. american civil liberties union
b. american legion
c. national rifle association
d. sierra club
i have NO clue. my guess would be... d
They all promote causes. That is a strange question. The Sierra Club spends a lot of its budget on lawyers and lobbying. The American Legion, although open to all war veterans, generally takes a conservative position on political issues.
so its american legion or....?
As drwls said, the American Legion is the one that you should probably pick, although they indeed promote causes and have drifted to one side of the political landscape.
The America Legion and most of its various branches, despite some political leanings, have managed to retain 501(c)(3) tax deductible status while the others have not. So that is probably the answer they are looking for. The other three maintain separate "foundations" that can solicit some tax-deductible funds, but the main organizations are overtly political in nature.
To determine the correct answer, we can analyze each option and identify if they promote causes:
a. American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) - The ACLU is known for promoting and defending civil liberties and rights, such as freedom of speech and equal protection under the law. It actively supports causes related to social justice, civil rights, and civil liberties.
b. American Legion - The American Legion is a veterans organization that supports various causes and initiatives related to veterans' rights, welfare, and community service. It focuses on promoting patriotism, national security, and the well-being of veterans.
c. National Rifle Association (NRA) - The NRA is an organization strongly advocating for the Second Amendment and defending the rights of individuals to bear arms. It supports causes related to gun rights, firearms education, and gun ownership.
d. Sierra Club - The Sierra Club is an environmental organization that promotes the preservation and conservation of natural resources, including advocating for clean air, clean water, and protecting wildlife and natural habitats.
Based on this analysis, it appears that all options mentioned (a, b, c, and d) actively promote causes. Therefore, none of them can be excluded as they are all groups that promote causes.
