But critics say Move America Forward may abuse nonprofit status.

When Cindy Sheehan's anti-war protests last year drew widespread news coverage, a Sacramento nonprofit jumped to defend President Bush with a series of "counterprotests" against the Berkeley mother.

When Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi called Bush an "incompetent leader" in 2004, the group responded with an "action alert" calling Pelosi a "domestic enemy."

And as a liberal U.S. senator pushed to censure Bush earlier this year amid revelations that his administration was secretly tapping domestic phone calls, the organization countered with a campaign to censure Jimmy Carter instead, calling the former president an ally of terrorists and dictators.

On the eve of the 2006 elections, the Internal Revenue Service is cracking down on nonprofit organizations that stray into party politics. Critics say Move America Forward is ripe for scrutiny.
