Seems like it might jeopardize your non-profit status!

Subject: [NFCB] Candidate advocacy through song

Hello everyone,

We are training our programmers to not endorse political candidates or
parties, either actively, or by advocation against candidates or parties
of the second part, until they get it down pat.

However, if a programmer plays a song on the air that advocates for a
candidate (for example, "Ralph's Our Helmsman" or "Clinton's Come a'
Cropper,") is that advocacy?  The programmer did not speak, the music
did. 

Any ideas?
