IRS, Churches, and Politics

"Huckabee, a Baptist minister, also met with about 100 pastors to help develop an evangelical network similar to the one that helped him defeat Romney in Iowa's leadoff caucuses." Huckabee received the endorsements of these pastors which also gave Mike Theformerbaptistpastor Huckabee the rolls of the congregation including addresses and phone numbers. This is unacceptable in a political race. The following was posted and thought I'd forward it on:

Anyone observing political intervention by any tax-exempt 510 (c)(3) religious organization should write to

Linda E. Stiff
Acting Commissioner
Internal Revenue Service
1111 Constitution Ave NW
Washington, DC 20224

Please provide contact details for the organization and its officers and give details of its political activities, then ask that the IRS:

(1) Initiate tax inquiry proceedings with the organization under IRC section 7611 to determine whether its tax-exempt status should be revoked;

(2) Determine whether the organization and any of its managers should be assessed taxes under section 4955 based on the organization's political expenditures; and

(3) Notify the organization of its intention to seek an injunction, pursuant to IRC section 7409, if the organization's flagrant political campaign activities do not cease immediately.

Spread the word.
