On the contrary... Contributions to political parties and candidates
are never deductable in the USA. Similarly, contributions to organizations
which are specifically used for lobbying are not deductable, although donations
for non-lobbying purposes may be deductable.  The only "tax deducatble"
political contribution I know of is the $1 you can give to the presidential
election campaign by checking off the box on your Internal Revenue Service
form.
