Slam The Gavel podcast welcomes back Marta Bryceland, who was last on the podcast Season 6, Episode 368. Marta came back to tell the story of her case and the court and the violations briefly of due process, discrimination and forensic expert testimony and report of child abuse by the father. Marta's own court witness were ignored and the judge removed it from the record. However, the assigned attorney, Peter Wilner, pulled out a forensic report and filed the Appeal on July 11th, 2025, calling the entire proceeding a "travesty of justice" with predetermined outcome for Marta to lose custody. Marta demands two Appellate Division schedules, an oral argument and to reverse all the orders including eight years of Orders of Protection, granted without the hearing and ignoring her testimony of physical, mental, legal abuse.

Slam The Gavel welcomes back Amy Palacios to the podcast. Amy has been on the podcast Season 5, Episodes 308, and multiple episodes explaining the corruption of her case and giving updates. On this podcast, Amy states that they are looking to put her into JAIL June 15th, 2026 for Child Support Arrears as well as Attorney's Fees. However, Amy explains their EXTORTION monies have already been paid and she owes NOTHING. This fits into the perfect playbook. When the unfit, alienating parent, with the help of attorneys, puts the loving - fit parent into jail, that gives them free rein to not only obtain/EXTORT money, but BRAINWASH the children to hate the other parent. Attorney Jay White still remains head of DSS Child Welfare AND Child Support. Amy is asking why he is still in his capacity when he had been fired the year prior. His brother is Mayor Merritt White. The conflict of interest in Cabarrus County, NC continues.To Reach Amy Palacios: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook: https://youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcast?si=INW9XaTyprKsaDklhttps://substack.com/@maryannpetri?r=kd7n6&utm_medium=iosInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/ Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetrihttps://www.zazzle.com/store/slam_the_gavel/aboout*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

Slam the Gavel welcomes back Amanda Story who was last on Season 4, Episode 142, and Crystal Salazar Season 5, Episode 174. Today we discussed the major human rights issue in the United States — the fact that America still does not have a fully independent National Human Rights Institution (NHRI) aligned with the UN Paris Principles, despite international efforts dating back to the 1990s. In 2023, the NHRI for USA campaign publicly pushed for the creation of one, and in 2025 the Institute for Advancement of Justice & Human Rights (IAJ) launched as an independent organization working toward human rights investigations, accountability, and advocacy surrounding issues such as family court abuses, CPS misconduct, disability rights, and systemic due process concerns. We talked about both the broader national implications and Crystal's personal experience — including her Texas CPS case, international human rights findings connected to her situation, and her current asylum journey to the UK — as part of a larger conversation about why independent human rights oversight in the U.S. matters.https://nhriforusa.org/abouthttps://www.iaj.institute/To Reach Amanda Story and Crystal Salazar: iajvolunteer2501@gmail.comTik tok @crystal.salazar04Texas Tribune Link: https://www.texastribune.org/2024/10/11/texas-foster-care-janis-jack-fifth-circuit/Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook: https://youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcast?si=INW9XaTyprKsaDklhttps://substack.com/@maryannpetri?r=kd7n6&utm_medium=iosInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/ Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetrihttps://www.zazzle.com/store/slam_the_gavel/aboout*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

From there we talked about a solution to the CPS debacle and how it can easily be dissolved. Defund CPS, not law enforcement. Also how false allegations should really be handled by the police. Next, we discussed how a judge has a picture of her daughter up on his chamber wall without written consent. Carrie also described her daughter's medical issues that have not been resolved and how she fainted in a department store and had to be rushed to a nearby ER.

1018. Do you have multiple retirement plans and are unsure how they fit together? Laura answers a listener's question about having a 403(b) and a 457 plan at work, and a potential second job with a 401(a). Knowing the rules of various retirement plans helps you take full advantage of them and avoid potential mistakes and penalties. Key takeawaysThe names of workplace retirement plans come from the sections of the Internal Revenue Code that govern them. Plans from different sections of the tax code operate independently, allowing you to double or triple-dip maximum contributions.Plans from the same section of the tax code, such as a 401(k) and a 403(b), are subject to one shared annual contribution limit.A 403(b) can be offered by public schools, hospitals, and non-profits; it allows an extra catch-up contribution for long-term employees.A 457 plan has different types of accounts, but the governmental 457(b) is the most common. It allows an extra catch-up contribution and no early withdrawal penalties.A 401(a) is typically offered by government agencies, schools, and non-profits. It usually has mandatory participation and a high annual contribution limit.Discover more from Money Girl!FacebookNewsletterTranscripts available at QuickandDirtyTips.com.Email: Laura@LauraDAdams.com or leave a voicemail: (302) 364-0308.

Her work exposes a major gap in the frameworks used throughout the Parental Alienation space. The frameworks that are used in the courts to decide the child's best interest have never included a child's biology: the nervous system. That's no small oversight, IT IS A MASSIVE MISTAKE.

This Day in Legal History: Maryland Ratifies the ConstitutionOn April 28, 1788, Maryland became the seventh state to ratify the United States Constitution. The state's ratifying convention met in Annapolis from April 21 to April 28, ending with Maryland's formal approval of the new federal charter. This was a major legal step because Article VII of the Constitution required ratification by nine states before the Constitution could take effect. Maryland's vote therefore brought the country within two states of replacing the Articles of Confederation with a stronger national government.The decision also mattered because Maryland occupied an important position between northern and southern states, giving its approval broader political weight. Unlike some states where ratification debates were bitter and closely divided, Maryland approved the Constitution by a wide margin. Its delegates accepted the proposed structure of separated powers, a bicameral Congress, a single executive, and a federal judiciary. They also accepted the Constitution's grant of greater national authority, including the power to tax, regulate interstate commerce, and enforce federal law. For supporters of ratification, Maryland's approval showed that the Constitution was gaining momentum beyond the earliest Federalist strongholds. For opponents, it underscored how quickly the new framework was becoming a legal and political reality.Maryland's ratification did not itself put the Constitution into force, but it helped make that outcome increasingly likely. By June 1788, New Hampshire became the ninth state to ratify, satisfying Article VII and allowing the new constitutional government to begin. Maryland's April 28 vote thus stands as one of the key legal milestones in the transition from confederation to constitutional union.The U.S. Supreme Court formally reinstated a Texas congressional map that could help Republicans gain seats in the U.S. House in the 2026 midterm elections. The ruling made official an earlier interim decision from December, when the Court allowed Texas to use the map while the litigation continued. The map had been approved by the Republican-controlled Texas legislature in August 2025 and signed by Governor Greg Abbott.Reuters reports that the map could shift as many as five Democratic-held House seats toward Republicans. A lower court had previously blocked the map after finding that it was likely racially discriminatory and potentially violated constitutional protections. The Supreme Court reversed that lower court decision, with the three liberal justices dissenting. The case comes amid a broader fight over mid-decade redistricting, in which both Republican- and Democratic-led states have redrawn maps outside the usual once-a-decade cycle for partisan advantage. California, for example, was allowed by the Supreme Court in February to use a new map designed to benefit Democrats after the Texas redistricting effort. The stakes are high because Republicans hold narrow majorities in Congress, and a shift in either chamber could affect President Trump's legislative agenda and congressional oversight. The ruling does not end the larger national debate over when redistricting crosses the line from lawful political mapmaking into unconstitutional discrimination.US Supreme Court formally reinstates pro-Republican Texas voting map | ReutersThe United States has agreed to adjust its Venezuela sanctions so the Venezuelan government can pay for Nicolás Maduro's defense lawyer in his U.S. drug trafficking case. Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were taken from Caracas by U.S. special forces on January 3, brought to New York, and charged with offenses including narcoterrorism conspiracy. Both have pleaded not guilty and are being held in Brooklyn while awaiting trial. Maduro's lawyer, Barry Pollack, had asked U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein to dismiss the case, arguing that sanctions blocking Venezuela from paying legal fees interfered with Maduro's constitutional right to the lawyer of his choice. The defense said neither Maduro nor Flores could afford private counsel without Venezuelan government support. Prosecutors argued that the sanctions served national security and foreign policy interests, and that courts should not force the Treasury Department to change sanctions because foreign policy belongs mainly to the executive branch.Judge Hellerstein appeared unwilling to dismiss the case, but he also questioned whether blocking payment was justified when Maduro and Flores were already in U.S. custody and U.S.-Venezuela relations had improved after Maduro's ouster. The government's decision to allow the payments removes a procedural obstacle that could have complicated or delayed the prosecution. The case remains politically charged, with U.S. officials accusing Maduro of corruption and drug trafficking, while Maduro denies the allegations and says they are a pretext for U.S. control over Venezuela's oil resources. The dispute shows how sanctions, criminal prosecution, and constitutional criminal procedure can collide when a foreign former leader is brought into a U.S. courtroom.US to let Venezuela pay Maduro's lawyer in drug trafficking case | ReutersMy column for Bloomberg this week argues that the IRS's potential settlement with President Donald Trump and his family over leaked tax data presents a legitimacy problem as much as a legal one. The agency may be able to resolve the case through ordinary settlement procedures, but this is not an ordinary plaintiff: Trump is the head of the executive branch that ultimately oversees the IRS. That creates a serious perception risk, because the public may view the dispute as the administration negotiating with itself. The column argues that any settlement should be tied clearly to remedies available under Section 7431 of the Internal Revenue Code, which governs civil damages for unauthorized tax disclosures. It also stresses that similarly situated taxpayers affected by the same IRS contractor's leak should be treated consistently, or at least that any differences in treatment should be publicly explained.The concern is that a major payout to Trump or his family could appear to create a two-tier tax system, even if the technical legal process is defensible. I compare the risk to the Teapot Dome scandal, where public confidence suffered because people believed insiders were benefiting from a different set of rules. The column also points to another high-profile tax leak case involving a billionaire, where the resolution focused on apology, acknowledgment of policy failures, and stronger data safeguards rather than a massive damages award. That prior case provides a useful benchmark, even though not every case must settle the same way. To protect credibility, I argue that DOJ recusal, an independent arbiter, or similar safeguards may be necessary so the process has visible independence. The larger point is that the IRS depends heavily on voluntary compliance, and voluntary compliance depends on taxpayers believing the system is fair. If the agency appears to give special treatment to the most powerful taxpayer in the country, the long-term cost may be far greater than any settlement amount. This is a public episode.

Brian Howell, Director of Charitable Consulting at DAFgiving360, unpacks how donor-advised funds can move charitable giving from a year-end tax decision to a more deliberate part of long-term wealth planning. He walks through the core advantages of DAFs, from contributing appreciated and complex assets to investing for tax-free growth and building succession plans that can simplify charitable legacy decisions over time. He also shares new DAFgiving360 research showing that DAF users tend to be more engaged, more recurring in their giving, and more connected to the causes they support. Howell makes the case that this creates a meaningful opening for advisors, not just in tax planning, but in helping clients tie philanthropy more closely to family legacy, major liquidity events, and broader financial strategy. If you'd like to learn more about working with DAFgiving360 and the benefits to both you and your clients, review their online resources or request more information. DAFgiving360 is the name used for the combined programs and services of Donor Advised Charitable Giving, Inc., an independent nonprofit organization which has entered into service agreements with certain subsidiaries of The Charles Schwab Corporation. DAFgiving360 is a tax-exempt public charity as described in Sections 501(c)(3), 509(a)(1), and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions made to DAFgiving360 are considered an irrevocable gift and are not refundable. Once contributed, DAFgiving360 has exclusive legal control over the contributed assets. A donor’s ability to claim itemized deductions is subject to a variety of limitations depending on the donor’s specific tax situation. Contributions of certain real estate, private equity, or other illiquid assets may be accepted via a charitable intermediary, with proceeds transferred to a donor-advised fund (DAF) account upon liquidation. Call DAFgiving360 for more information at 800-746-6216. Market fluctuations may cause the value of investment fund shares held in a donor-advised fund (DAF) account to be worth more or less than the value of the original contribution to the funds. DAFgiving360 does not provide legal or tax advice. Please consult a qualified legal or tax advisor where such advice is necessary or appropriate. (0426-4BJN) Source

With direct democracy becoming more important than ever in this political climate, we thought it was a good time to revisit ballot measures. From local park bonds to important state constitutional amendments, ballot measures have become important tools for policymaking, and nonprofits often play a huge role in supporting and opposing them. On this episode we do a deep dive on the details and how you can get involved. Attorneys for this episode Susan Finkle Sourlis Tim Mooney Natalie Ossenfort Shownotes What Are Ballot Measures, and Why Are They Important? · According to Ballotpedia, as of April 5, 2026, 87 statewide ballot measures have been certified for the ballot in 35 states for elections in 2026. · These initiatives will ask voters to weigh in on topics like redistricting, campaign finance, state budgets, school funding, the state judiciary, and more. · Ballot measures are important advocacy tool to create policy change. They are a form of direct democracy. The Law: Internal Revenue Code · Ballot measures = pieces of legislation. If they pass, they become law. · As a result, advocacy for or against the passage of a measure = lobbying (more specifically, direct lobbying since the public serves as a legislative body during the ballot measure process). · Reminder: public charities can lobby, but they need to stay within Internal Revenue Code set lobbying limits. o Default test: Insubstantial Part Test o Optional test for most public charities: 501(h) Expenditure Test · Under either test, one must express a view on legislation for a communication to be considered lobbying. · Here are some ballot measure activities that would be considered lobbying: o Asking voters to vote yes or no on a measure o Posting social media messages either supporting or opposing a measure o Raising money earmarked to defeat or win a measure o Preparing materials that support or oppose a measure o Targeting outreach to voters that are likely to support or oppose a measure in alignment with your organization's position The Law: State / Local-Level Campaign Finance Considerations · The ballot measure process varies by state. o Some states only allow legislatively referred measures. o Others (like OH, MI, AZ, and CA) allow citizens to initiate statewide ballot measures. · It is essential that if your organization is planning to conduct activity surrounding a ballot measure, you abide by state law. · Unlike the IRS, most states do not regulate ballot measure advocacy as lobbying, but rather this type of advocacy falls under state campaign finance law. o Some states require reporting if an individual (or nonprofit) hits a certain spending threshold related to their ballot measure advocacy (hello, Texas!). Others require committee formation and registration if certain thresholds are met or if organizations join forces to advocate in support or opposition of a measure. o States also often require specifically worded 'paid for by' and other disclaimers when advocating on a measure. o Many states have already passed or are considering legislation related to ballot measure fundraising and who can contribute to ballot measure campaigns. Check your state's laws for details. · IMPORTANT: Consult with counsel before embarking on a ballot measure campaign, so they can determine if your organization might need to register and report with state officials (or potentially form a committee). · If a committee already exists and is in alignment with your organization on a measure, it may be possible to join forces and minimize the reporting burdens on your nonprofit. Life of a ballot Initiative – signature gathering to passage to enforcement · Before a ballot measure ever appears on the ballot, there's a long runway of activity—and for nonprofits, many of these activities count as lobbying for 501(c)(3) public charities and need to be counted against an organization's lobbying limits. Citizen-Led Initiatives 1. Pre-signature organizing 2. Drafting the measure language 3. Signature gathering 4. Qualification for the ballot 5. Campaign phase 6. Election 7. Post-election enforcement & implementation Legislature-Referred Measures 1. Legislature drafts and passes referral 2. Measure placed on the ballot 3. Campaign phase 4. Election 5. Post-election enforcement & implementation Key Compliance Notes When does lobbying start? For citizen initiatives: typically, when signatures are circulated For referrals: at the legislative consideration stage and when the measure is submitted to voters Pre-signature activity Research Coalition-building Issue education Drafting language Usually preparation for lobbying Becomes lobbying if tied closely to an active campaign effort "Specific legislation" trigger Once a measure is clearly defined and advancing, it's treated like legislation for IRS lobbying purposes State law overlay Petition rules, disclaimers, reporting, and pay-per-signature bans vary widely Federal tax law ≠ state election law (you have to comply with both) After the Election Implementation & rulemaking Agencies interpret and apply the law Nonprofits can engage in administrative advocacy (not lobbying for tax code purposes, but could trigger state registration and reporting) Public education Explaining what passed (or failed) and what it means Must remain nonpartisan if done by a 501(c)(3) Litigation Defending or challenging the validity of a passed measure in court Not lobbying Permissible for 501(c)(3) organizations Working Together · Many ballot measure activities happen in coalitions. · These coalitions could include different types of nonprofit organizations. Some may be 501(c)(3) public charities, while others could have 501(c)(4), 501(c)(5), or other tax-exempt status. o Remember, 501(c)(4)s and 501(c)(5)s have unlimited lobbying limits—this makes them a great ally in ballot measure work. · A 501(c)(3), when engaging in ballot measure work, must do so in a nonpartisan way. o Some examples of nonpartisan ballot measure work can include: circulating petitions, endorsing measures, registering voters, and more. o It's important not to align your 501(c)(3)s position on a ballot measure with a candidate or political party. o They should also avoid targeting voters based on how they think the voters will vote for candidates on the ballot. · All joint lobbying activities, conducted with 501(c)(3)s and other types of organizations, should remain NONPARTISAN and not include suggestions of whom to vote for in candidate elections. Ballot Measure Advocacy Funding · Because ballot measure advocacy is often considered lobbying, private foundations cannot earmark funds for this activity, but public (community foundations) can. · Consider approaching community foundations and individual donors to support your work. o BE AWARE: Some states are considering or have already passed legislation that prohibits foreign national contributions to ballot measure campaigns (could kick in if your organization receives donations from foreign sources). o Any donations earmarked for lobbying are not tax-deductible to the donor.

Physician and tax specialist Logan Foltz discusses the article "Physician tax strategies: Why your tax bill is so high and how to fix it." Logan explains why the Internal Revenue Code patterns are often unfavorable to physicians, who typically rely on clinical labor and face high marginal tax rates with limited control over income timing. He breaks down the structural reasons for sticker shock after residency, including heavy payroll taxes and the inability to deduct unreimbursed work related expenses as an employed physician. The conversation explores how understanding the tax code as a problem to be solved can empower clinicians to leverage self employment, business entity structures, and geographic considerations to improve their annual tax liability. Logan also discusses the importance of diversifying income beyond labor alone and navigating a complex U.S. health care system that leaves doctors with little bandwidth for financial planning. Learn how to stop feeling trapped by your tax bill and start engaging with the system more deliberately to secure your financial future. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

Slam The Gavel welcomes back Debbie Carroll to the podcast. She is accompanied by Kathryn Hall, who is one the faces of the Angel Families, an organization that has brought their stories of the deaths of their children by ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS to the forefront of the American consciousness. Her story has been told by Terri LaPoint in the book, Voices That Will Not be Silenced. Kathryn and her family are more than survivors. Kathryn is a powerhouse spokesperson for Angel Families AND for exposure of corruption by the child welfare system. With more than one loss after another in her life, Kathryn Hall's granddaughter was now removed from her own daughter Hailey while they both lived with Mom and Dad in Arkansas in 2015 when CPS entered the picture. Just at 17 years of age CPS expected Hailey to get a full-time job, complete high school, move into her own apartment and meet all demands of a Dependency and Neglect case to get her baby back. Within the year, Hailey and her friend were riding home on a scooter which was hit by a man driving a speeding truck. Hailey was thrown onto the top of the hood. He swerved back and forth until he knocked her off the truck. He also continued driving until he finally noticed sparks under the truck, stopped to find that he had dragged the boy on the scooter the whole time. The man, here ILLEGALLY, ran from the scene.To Reach Kathryn Hall: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comTo Reach Debbie Carroll: considerationnonprofit.orgSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri) Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook: https://youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcast?si=INW9XaTyprKsaDkl https://substack.com/@maryannpetri?r=kd7n6&utm_medium=iosInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/ Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetrihttps://www.zazzle.com/store/slam_the_gavel/aboout*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

If you can count and you KNOW that you shouldn't be charged for three different things hidden in one time block, that's what we call "Block Billing."To Reach Theo Chino: barinvestigation.com / 708-659-1990Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook: https://youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcast?si=INW9XaTyprKsaDklhttps://substack.com/@maryannpetri?r=kd7n6&utm_medium=iosInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/ Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetrihttps://www.zazzle.com/store/slam_the_gavel/aboout*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and this is episode 148 of EO Radio Show. Here we are, solidly into the 2026 election year, and that means private foundations should refresh their understanding of election‑year issues for organizations that want to remain exempt under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3), and avoid the onerous private‑foundation excise taxes that come into play if a private foundation uses its funds for impermissible legislative lobbying. This week's episode is a refresh of the show's episode 8, originally released in 2022. For more information on related election‑year issues, you may want to go back to episode 146 for the commentary on candidate campaign intervention, or episode 147 if your interest is in what public charities may do in the lobbying arena. Episode 147 refreshed an earlier episode that focused on allowable educational and advocacy activities for public charities, including a discussion of the definition of lobbying and the two different rules that apply to public charities. Finally, be sure to check out the show notes for resources from the IRS on these topics, and the Farella Braun + Martel YouTube channel for the complete EO Radio Show playlist.

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. I'm Cynthia Rowland, and this is episode 147 of EO Radio Show. As most listeners are undoubtedly aware, 2026 is an election year. Charities and private foundations should refresh their understanding of election‑year issues to remain exempt under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3). This week's episode is a refresh of the show's episode 7, originally released in 2022. Today's focus is on allowable educational and advocacy activities for public charities, including a discussion of the definition of lobbying and the two rules that apply to them. The first rule we'll discuss is the subjective test under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3). And the second alternative—the elective test for charities that make the 501(h) election—allows for an objective limitation on lobbying expenditures. For more information on related election issues, listeners may want to go back to last week's episode—that's episode 146—which covered the limitations in 501(c)(3) relating to candidate campaign intervention. And stay tuned for episode 148, addressing permissible private foundation policy advocacy activities, which differ from what is allowed for 501(c)(3) organizations classified as public charities. Finally, be sure to check out the show notes for resources from the IRS on these topics.

Welcome to EO Radio Show – Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. We're starting 2026 the way I always start election years, with a reminder to leadership of charities and private foundations to refresh their understanding of election-year issues for those organizations that want to remain exempt under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3). This year, there is an update I want to call out regarding a court case in Texas and proposed federal legislation that could change the scope of the prohibition on candidate intervention by certain kinds of charities. In the next few weeks, we'll refresh EO Radio Show episodes seven and eight, which address legislative lobbying by public charities and private foundations, also likely to be very hot topics in 2026.

Slam The Gavel welcomes back Andrea Brewer to the podcast. Today she discussed how the states are handling a person's gender on their birth certificate from the date of birth. Andrea went over some of the states that have administrative processes and the statistics of some of the states where there is no court order required, and how many states allow for a change of gender just on a simple affidavit. The VS42 form was discussed as well as it appears anyone can put information on this document for gender.

Send a textJeff and Scott chat with Mike Kaercher, Deputy Director of the Tax Law Center at NYU Law, about where tax law comes from. We often refer to “tax law,” but in this episode we unpack what that actually means—how the Internal Revenue Code, Treasury Regulations, and court cases, all the rest, all fit together, and who actually writes the words on the pages we consider to be tax law.
Slam The Gavel welcomes Bill Ayers, President of PA Bikers For Justice. Bill Ayers and others had gotten involved in helping victims of Parental Alienation through their work helping crime victims. They found a connection where many victims of child abuse and crimes against children had a connection to those children also being victims of Parental Alienation. This led to the changes in laws and policies and creating awareness of Parental Alienation. PA Bikers for Justice do rallies once a year during around the weekend of Parental Alienation. This year they will be having a rally in Lackawanna County, Lackawanna County Courthouse in PA. PA Bikers For Justice has assisted thousands of victims since 1997 as a community watch group in West Scranton PA, then escorting victims to court, and branching out in other counties and are now statewide. We discussed when an individual is released from prison, exonerated, they should be compensated so they don't end up homeless. Once exonerated the arrest record remains, so they have to go through an expungement process in which they petition the court and get a court order to expunge the arrest so it is no longer on their record. This could take two months to two years. Pennsylvania is indeed breeding poverty.

Families with disabled students often face extra out-of-pocket costs—costs they wouldn't have if their child weren't disabled—to secure the same education other students receive for free, yet tax relief for those expenses is limited and unclear. Garret Hoff, J.D., argues that Internal Revenue Code Section 213 and its interpretations reflect a time when disabled people were not viewed as worth public money to educate, leaving families with arbitrary distinctions under the medical expense deduction. Hoff recommends the IRS revise Treasury Regulation 1.213-1(e)(1)(v)(a) to recognize a broader reading of Section 213, and he urges Congress to amend Section 529A, created by the ABLE Act, to lift contribution limits and make contributions tax deductible so families can fund qualified disability expenses through ABLE accounts.

Families with disabled students often face extra out-of-pocket costs—costs they wouldn't have if their child weren't disabled—to secure the same education other students receive for free, yet tax relief for those expenses is limited and unclear. Garret Hoff, J.D., argues that Internal Revenue Code Section 213 and its interpretations reflect a time when disabled people were not viewed as worth public money to educate, leaving families with arbitrary distinctions under the medical expense deduction. Hoff recommends the IRS revise Treasury Regulation 1.213-1(e)(1)(v)(a) to recognize a broader reading of Section 213, and he urges Congress to amend Section 529A, created by the ABLE Act, to lift contribution limits and make contributions tax deductible so families can fund qualified disability expenses through ABLE accounts. Hoff adds that lasting access and justice require cultural change, not only tax revisions.

Slam The Gavel podcast welcomes new guests, Bob Terrien and Don Wenger. Today we talked about the history of the Loophole in 42 U.S.C. Subsection 659 AND 666. Because of that loophole, states are using to make money by converting veteran benefits into state revenue. It says that veteran benefits received by military retirees can be garnished if the retiree has waived military pay to receive compensation benefits from the VA. It should say that ALL VA benefits are exempt from Title IV-D, regardless of whether the veteran is retired or not. Congress has exercised constitutional power to make it clear that veteran benefits have always been totally exempt from state jurisdiction....To Reach Bob Terrien and Don Wenger: VeteranHope.orgSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook: https://youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcast?si=INW9XaTyprKsaDklhttps://substack.com/@maryannpetri?r=kd7n6&utm_medium=iosInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/ Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetrihttps://www.zazzle.com/store/slam_the_gavel/aboout*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

Slam The Gavel welcomes Mary Bowen to the podcast. Mary and her fiancé participated in extensive Pre-Cana classes before marrying at the Cathedral of St. Mary in Austin Texas in 7-25-1998. However, her husband filed for divorce in 10-18-2021 in the County Courthouse in Bastrop, Texas. The case number is 21-20960. At this point Mary has been married a total of 27 years. Mary is a devout, practicing Catholic, who honors marriage vows made to God. The Constitutional Challenge, referencing Texas Family Code 6.001, was just filed in November 17th, 2025. The Texas Family Code 6.001: INSUPPORTABILITY. On the petition of either party to a marriage, the court may grant a divorce without regard to fault if the marriage has become in supportable because of discord or conflict of personalities that destroys the legitimate ends of the marital relationship and prevents any reasonable exception of reconciliation.To Reach Mary Bowen: mbowen7736@gmail.comhttps://www.givesendgo.com/SanctusFamilyhttps://www.texasnofault.com/Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook: https://youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcast?si=INW9XaTyprKsaDklhttps://substack.com/@maryannpetri?r=kd7n6&utm_medium=iosInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/ Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetrihttps://www.zazzle.com/store/slam_the_gavel/aboout*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

Today we talked about the 'double standards of justice' and putting 'teeth' into a law questioning the protection of former police officers that have been labeled, 'PATTERN MISCONDUCT,' by the AG in New York. In April of 2021, Governor Cuomo signed in the Law Enforcement Misconduct Law into the Social Justice Unit of the Attorney General's Office. Since that time 38 officers have been reviewed for misconduct. This law requires that the Police Chief of NY notify the AG when a police officer had had five or more incidents of reported misconduct. Once the AG is notified, they are supposed to investigate.

On this episode, we're going back-to-basics to discuss the rules that apply when nonprofits engage in lobbying activities. With legislative sessions ramping-up in several states, it's important to take time to understand the lobbying limits and definitions that apply to your organization's advocacy. But, it's even more important to recognize that public charities can lobby and advocate for or against legislation at the local, state, and federal levels. So, rally your staff and volunteers, and speak up, because your nonprofit can play an important role in impacting public policy. Attorneys for this Episode Brittany Leonard Tim Mooney Natalie Roetzel Ossenfort The Importance of Lobbying Big business often pays for expensive lobbyists to represent their interests in front of legislators, but normal community members cannot foot that bill. Nonprofits who lobby can step up and fill the void. 501(c)(3) public charities can use their experience, funding, and passion for their mission to represent communities by advocating for or against changes to law. For example, Movement Advancement Project tracked the 2025 spring legislative session and found that every state except for Vermont had an anti-LGBTQ bill proposed but 88% of them did not become law. This was due in part to great nonprofits lobbying against these bills. How Much Lobbying Can Public Charities Do? Internal Revenue Code provides two ways for public charities to measure their lobbying limits Default, Insubstantial Part Test: Public charities can lobby so long as lobbying is an "insubstantial part" of their overall activities (around 3-5% of total activities). Activities based test, not dollar-based Broad definitions of lobbying 501(h) Expenditure Test: Most public charities can opt in to using this test to measure their limits (as opposed to the insubstantial part test), and when they do, it provides a mathematical formula to calculate lobbying limits. Dollar-based test (unpaid, volunteer activities don't count against limits) Narrower definitions of what qualifies as lobbying Many organizations can put up to 20% of their budget toward lobbying using the 501(h) election, but the exact amount depends on the organization's annual exempt purpose expenditures. What is Lobbying? The definition of lobbying depends on which of the two Internal Revenue Code tests your public charity uses to measure its limits Insubstantial Part Test: anything that advocates for or against legislation at any level of government is lobbying. For example: Advocating against a proposed ordinance in your city that would update the housing code in a way that would negatively impact the communities you serve Supporting a ballot measure that would codify reproductive rights in your state's constitution Talking to members of Congress to oppose the "Nonprofit Killer" bill Engaging in advocacy in an attempt to influence what gets included in your state's budget 501(h) Expenditure Test Direct Lobbying: Communication to a legislator (or their staff) that expresses a view on specific legislation. For example: Calling your Senator to encourage them to vote for an upcoming bill that will give every family a free puppy Emailing your State Rep's Chief of Staff to recommend an increase in funding for animal shelter improvements in the state's budget Grassroots Lobbying: Communicating to the general public your organization's view on specific legislation with a call to action (only four types). For example: Placing an ad in the newspaper that says "Call your Senator and express your support for legislation that would give every family a free puppy." Putting a web form on your public charity's website that encourages supporters to input their name and zip code to have a letter in support of a state-level bill automatically sent to their legislators What about a Threads post encouraging the public to vote in support of a local bond initiative or other ballot measure? Direct Lobbying. Why? The public is a legislator in the ballot measure process, because the public decides whether the measure passes (and becomes law) or fails (does not become law). Keep in mind that in addition to counting ballot measure advocacy against your lobbying limits, your ballot measure advocacy may also trigger state or local-level campaign finance reporting (since it happens in the election context). Examples of activities that do not count as lobbying include education about legislation without expressing a view, advocating for or against executive agency action, for or against executive orders, public education with no call to action under 501h, litigation, etc. Lobbying definitions can also vary according to state law. State laws generally don't limit how much lobbying a public charity can do, but they do require lobbyist registration and reporting when certain thresholds are met. State laws often define lobbying differently from the Internal Revenue Code and can include both legislative and executive branch advocacy activities.
