If They Can Violate IRS Rules, So SHOULD We!!
Simply put, I find Evangelical Christians of the fringe currently running the Republican party--otherwise known as Christocrats--to be THE most close to Radical Islamic fundamentalists Americans' suffer on our soil, and I do mean suffer. Given their way, we will all serve God--mark my words--they serve the God of their interpretation and of their Bible and will do whatever it takes to distort from every angle they can find some legal proof that they have a divine right somehow even the atheists who founded the United States were "guided" to follow. So I say that since they have gone to so much trouble to pervert the church into a political arena--that leftists of all religious stripes--from Universalists to Pagans make hay this election season and follow suit!
Let's turn all those tax-exempt places you call a church into first-class fund-raising, get-out-the-vote, pro-peace campaign hot spots ASAP! And then, should the IRS come a-knockin', we can refer them to the Liberty Counsel attorneys on our behalf. After all, wouldn't all of God's people have access to the same interpretation of the laws these folks give themselves? Wouldn't those attorneys, as Americans, fight for our right to equal protection of our religious rights too?
I should think so...follow the handy link to their diatribe on how to skirt IRS restrictions and raise funds in your "church" too!

Pastors, Churches and Politics: "A growing number of prominent evangelical pastors have been publicly expressing their biblical and moral views on such social and political issues as traditional marriage, abortion and cloning. In his weekly, personal editorial column known as the Falwell Confidential, Dr. Jerry Falwell compared and contrasted the positions of presidential candidates George W. Bush and John Kerry. He personally endorsed President George W. Bush, stating that he could not imagine any other choice. Barry Lynn, with the ultraliberal Americans United for Separation of Church and State, complained that Falwell had 'crossed the line' by allegedly violating IRS rules."--snip--
From 1934 to the present, not one church has ever lost either its IRS tax-exempt letter ruling or its tax-exempt status for engaging in too much lobbying.
