Default 501c Limitations

In this post (at IIDB), Don Morgan says:

Quote:
The Secular Web and the Internet Infidels Discussion Forum are operated by Internet Infidels, Inc., which is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization; all contributions to Internet Infidels are tax deductible. As such, Internet Infidels cannot take a major, active role in politics. In fact, it is required to do just the opposite.
I never knew that that prohibition existed, and I wonder how/if it limits the activism-oriented fora there. Does anyone know why non-profit educational organizations are prohibited from taking an active role in politics and what (if any) impact that has on their ability to host certain content?
