This whole MMM thing stinks to the high heavens. It is a Clinton Administration production from start to finish, the express purpose of which is to lobby for new laws and YET.... it is a 501 (c)-3 corporation - tax exempt. Juxtapose that with this: May 12, 2000 - 03:45 PM Church That Opposed Clinton Doesn't Get Tax-Exempt Status Back By Richard Carelli Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - The Internal Revenue Service was justified in revoking the tax-exempt status of a small New York church that opposed President Clinton's 1992 candidacy, a federal appeals court ruled Friday. The unanimous ruling said the revocation - history's first stripping of a church's tax exemption for political activity "neither violated the Constitution nor exceeded the IRS' statutory authority." Lawyers for the Church at Pierce Creek, in the Binghamton, N.Y., area, had argued that the tax agency had exceeded its authority, violated the church's free-speech rights and engaged in selective prosecution. ap.tbo.com; What in the world has this country come to?
