Default Re: FoF back at it again

Is FOF going over the line; can an argument be made? It seems to me they are abusing their tax-exempt status.


"Churches which want to keep their 501(c)(3) tax exempt status, however, must refrain from overt political activity. Specifically, pastors or church representatives may not use their official capacity to endorse any one candidate, nor do too much to advocate for the adoption or rejection of specific legislation. Official church newsletters or other publications may not endorse specific candidates or legislation."
