Is the APAC associated with the Sons of Confederate Veterans?
No. Federal IRS and FEC regulations prohibit any 501-c-3 corporation from establishing, coordinating or controlling a FEC 527 registered Political Action Committee. The APAC is a separate legal entity, with separate incorporation, accounting functions and Board of Directors. 2) How and when was the APAC created. Recognizing that the attacks on Southern Heritage required actions and responses beyond the allowed activities of a 501-c-3 organization the Foundation for the Preservation of American Culture (FPAC) was formed in 2001. The FPAC is a 501-c-4 and publishes the Southern Mercury among other activities. The FPAC along with several individuals created the Americans for the Preservation of American Culture (APAC) for the purpose of forming an independent unaffiliated political action committee to perform activities prohibited to the other organizations. The FPAC appoints a portion of the APAC Board of Directors.
