re: #227 Mich-again

Are Churches allowed to write checks to political campaigns? I was under the impression that was not allowed. I could be wrong.

No, they just pack people into their giant arenasized megachurches, organize and advocate en masse for Republican candidates

JUSTICE….

The first Justice Sunday, subtitled “Stopping the Filibuster Against People of Faith,” was organized primarily to protest a perceived bias on the part of the Federal Judiciary of the United States. The organizers hoped to provoke large numbers of evangelical Christians to place pressure on U.S. Senators to bring an end to the filibuster of nominees to the Federal Judiciary made by President George W. Bush. Their web site featured a letter dated April 20, 2005, four days before the event took place, which sought to assuage churches’ fears of challenges to their tax-exempt status under laws prohibiting political activity by tax-exempt churches [1]. The two sponsoring organizations did not choose to sponsor the program directly, but did so through their legally separate lobbying organizations FRC Action [2] and Focus on the Family Action [3].

The nationally televised event took place at Highview Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky. The program featured James Dobson, R. Albert Mohler, Jr., Watergate-figure-turned-evangelical Charles Colson and, via videotape, Republican U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist.
