That is not my reading; I'm (not a lawyer but) pretty sure 501(c)(3)s 
taking stances on ballot measures is not OK.

See these two pages (from the references on that wikipedia article):

Also keep in mind that at the end of the day the IRS' interpretation of 
the law is what really matters... Wherever the line actually is, I think 
it is best not to approach it.
