A Must Read...But Not After A Meal...
The United States is home to dozens of Religious Right groups. Many have small budgets and focus on state and local issues; the most powerful organizations conduct nationwide operations, command multi-million-dollar bank accounts and attract millions of followers. They have disproportionate clout in the halls of Congress, the White House and the courts, and they wield enormous influence within the political system.

What follows is a list of the nation’s Top Ten Religious Right groups, as determined by publicly available financial data and political prominence. Additional information describes the organizations’ leaders, funding and activities.

1. I hope they're all paying taxes !
Pat Robertson is using 10 million in federal funds to have a new interstate exit built for CBN's expansion. Not bad for a $6,000 donation to our "republican" Rep. Drake in '04 ! :mad:

2. Hasn't anyone filed a complaint with the IRS
about these groups. They blatantly violate their non-profit status and there is no oversight.

What would happen if we collected petitions to send to the IRS to have these folks audited?
