A local church here in Westmoreland County, PA, is passing out free trump signs this AM if you buy

Something at their yard sale. The Methodist pastor here is preaching trump and I think passing out trump signs. Another local independent pastor has trump flags and signs all over his yard, also praising trump from his pulpit. I hope they all meet their maker soon.

Or report them to the IRS.

I once did that, and the electioneering stopped.

The United Methodist Church would frown on this behavior.
