THAT is exactly where I believe the danger is. I could care less whether my non-profit partners up with a business to promote their products for a portion of profits as long as a few simple criteria are met; a) it is legal income per their IRS filing status, b) they do not "force" me to buy said product, OR use aggressive marketing tactics for said product to its membership, c) said product has a stellar reputation and is generally well-received by a majority of the "average" citizen and at least somewhat aligns with said organizations' vision and mission.
With all this hobby has at stake right now and the challenges we are facing, for the AMA to promote, "Flying for business. We got you covered", is paramount to the American Medical Association advertising the sale of discount cigarettes.
