Churches, religious groups and jurisdictions, and non-profits need to be informed by the IRS that they will lose their tax-exempt status if they continue to overtly, and covertly be involved in the federal and local political process.
Why is this important?
This country's founding fathers knew the necessity of the principal of separation of church and state. Put simply, this means that religious groups, churches and non-profit organizations do not have the right to verbally, and actively support a political candidate or party. We have attended church, and during the sermons been instructed not only how to vote, but been steered to specific candidates , agendas and stances.
