Pastors should half shred it, and send it back.
Time to pay the taxes and preach openly against taxing a God given right.

Do these idiots know what “separation” means??
Good, maybe if they watch enough sermons they’ll finally accept Jesus.
I bet the letter wasn’t sent to black churches.
If you get an envelope from this outfit, don't open it.
Write REFUSED - RETURN TO SENDER (or just RTS) across it.
Cross out your address with a black marker (the postal autoread machines will try to redeliver it if they can still read your address)
Also cross out any postal tracking bars (usually light barcodes across the front or back. For the same reason)
Drop it in your local mailbox.
Hmph! I wonder how many Black churches they sent this letter to? The blatant, DemocRAT cheerleading that goes on in too many black churches should keep this group busy for a very long time.
Do you think Holder would apply 501(c)(3) to one of “his people’s” churches? Not a chance!
This only applies to white churches.
A local church in 2008 put a vote for hope and change - vote for Obama posting on its church message board. No problem for them.
Good, the Johnson ammendment is unconstitutional and I would LOVE to see the IRS try to ammend the free speech rights by going after the tax exempt status of churches based on their attempt to sillence their 1ST ammendment rights.

Balderdash.
How is that a black church can host a democratic candidate and that’s considered ok?! But conservatives cannot. Damn hypocrits.
Mark 12:
13Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Jesus to catch him in his words. 14They came to him and said, “Teacher, we know you are a man of integrity. You aren’t swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not? 15Should we pay or shouldn’t we?”
But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. “Why are you trying to trap me?” he asked. “Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.” 16They brought the coin, and he asked them, “Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?”
“Caesar’s,” they replied.
17Then Jesus said to them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.”
And they were amazed at him.
I’ll check with my pastor tonight.
Bump!
Morons don’t know the difference between the Constitution and an 1813 letter discussing separation between church and state.
In other words, they will sue churches that praise a Republican, and pay no attention to the thousands of urban churches that actively promote barack obama.
You know what’s also a 501(c)3?
Mother Jones and a host of other liberal sites and publications.
Any church that takes sides on a candidate or issue should be stripped of their tax exempt status!
