My understanding is that the only restriction on political speech in churches is the threat of losing tax exemptions.

"My understanding is that the only restriction on political speech in churches is the threat of losing tax exemptions."

This restriction has never been upheld in the Courts. In fact the IRS knows it's so blatently unconstitutional they have never even had the guts to test it at trial. Not one. single. time. That's why these 1800 Pastor aren't very worried.

That's correct. And churches could solve this problem easily by renouncing their tax-exempt status & saying whatever they want, whenever they want. There is zero right to tax exempt status.

I "challenge" the ADF Director Kerri Kupec to STOP "lying" to America's Christian Churches about "freedom" from IRS 501-C3.


ADF is merely using this issue as a "money raising tool" to FINANCIALLY FLEECE otherwise well-meaning (but sadly, legally ignorant Christians).
