A repeat article OP. Any faith based business's (not Church that's not a business) can file for a 501(c)3 tax exempt status. "Under federal law, to receive tax-exempt status as a religious organization, an organization must operate exclusively for charitable or educational purposes and must "not attempt to influence legislation" or "participate in any campaign activity for or against political candidates." SO if your Church is a 501(c)3 Church, and claims saving the people is our business so we can file like that. You need to find a new Church. These 501(c)3 type Churches can't tell it's members to vote for their candidate, or take a stand against abortion, or criticize the Government in a direct negative way. You are just a number and a tax break to them. I dare that Church to invite the IRS and do a sermon against abortion, and telling their members to only vote Republican (be sure to rip on the Government too). Do mention that you are a 501(c)3 Church and they can't take that away. They will cave in and not do it.
