With this in mind, why is it politicans of Dem stripe (and maybe a few Repubs, although I haven't heard of any) can openly go into a church, and preach politics from the pulpit?????
And that includes Jesse Jackson Sr and Jr, Shiela Jackson Lee, Al Sharpton, and others.....
Aren't churches ALL 501c3's? That means if they don't want to pay taxes, they have to stay apolitical.....
Maybe there should be some investigations into this.....
The ethics committee ultimately concluded that the course was “actually a coordinated effort” to “help in achieving a partisan, political goal” — something that would run afoul of its tax-exempt status.
And yet, when the IRS looked into those accusations in a three-year investigation, it found that the donations to Gingrich’s charity were “consistent with its stated exempt purposes,” and Gingrich’s course and course book “were educational in content,” according to The Washington Post in 1999. By then, Gingrich had left office, preferring retirement to a fight over leadership.
