Another point I want to make is about our precious “tax exempt status”. In all honesty the
church is more at risk of losing it for its campaigning against this law then it is if gays can marry.
From the IRS.gov ( http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/rr-07-41.pdf)
Currently, the law prohibits political campaign activity by charities and churches by defining a 501(c)(3) organization as one "which does not participate in, or intervene in (including the publishing or distributing of statements), any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office." |
it's a political issue? So you disagree it's a moral issue?
