National group asks IRS to investigate Sioux City church
http://www.desmoinesregister.com/article/20100930/NEWS/100930041/National-group-asks-IRS-to-investigate-Sioux-City-church

A Washington, D.C.-based religious liberty group wants the Internal Revenue Service to investigate an Iowa church that has allegedly campaigned for the ouster of three Iowa Supreme Court justices.
--snip--

The campaign is a response to a 2009 Iowa Supreme Court ruling that overturned the state’s one-man, one-woman marriage law and allowed same-sex couples to marry.
Americans United contends the church is using collection-plate donations to finance political attacks on the justices

--snop--

Fundy church trying to force it's will on the populace = loss of tax exempt status. /hope.

1. I'm sorry to say
that I doubt anything will come of it. I suppose it's possible the IRS might, in essence, tell the church, "Naughty, naughty," but I'd be shocked if the church lost its tax-exempt status. After all, it's GOD'S house. :eyes:
