The "suggested induction ceremony for new members no. 1" in the SAR handbook pages
63, 64 has a paragraph as follows:

"Remember that the SAR is a non-political organization. Chapters and state
societies must never endorse or recommend any
candidate for public office, nor may meetings include the discussion of merits or
demerits of such candidates. The merit of
any public question involving the social, economic, moral or
--- start page 64 ---
physical welfare of the people may be fairly and intelligently studied and
discussed at a meeting for the enlightenment of
those attending. SAR may take a position on any bill or measure which may be
submitted to a vote of the elected
representatives of the people or to the vote of the people."

I've used this in several recent inductions, I would strongly suggest that each
chapter president remind their members of this.
