Petition to End the Tax Exempt Status for all Churches and Religious Organizations.
Money donated to churches generates numbers greater than $71,000,000,000 a year (Mehta, 2012) and much of this money is used to influence laws which is against section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
We beseech you to end the tax exempt status for all churches and religious organizations.

Why is this important?
This petition has been started to curtail the unfair advantage churches and religious agencies have in our politics and return much needed money to the communities that these organizations reside in.
