Call Your Congressional REP and IRS NOW!!!!



and ask them to remove the tax exempt status of Rick Warrens Saddleback Church.....clearly they are involved in shaping political views of its members and the community....CHURCHES were not given tax exempt status to practice this kind of agenda....

They need to get back to saving people and leave their noses and money out of politics.

1. Or, You Know
Our candidates, both Democratic and Republican, could not go on their shows and promote this sort of government involvement in politics.

Cuts both ways.

2. Presidential debates shouldn't be held in any church setting.
As a separate entity from the government, they have enjoyed freedom from government regulation. Are churches sure that they want to mix religion with politics? I'm imagining those who fail to tithe or fail to show up at church regularly (religious truancy?) being fined or put into jail until their tithing can be brought up to date; those who skip out on church services repeatedly will have to go to counseling.

Beside that, not all Americans are of the same religion, nor are all Americans believers & members of a church.

And by delving into politics, churches are hurting their credibility with those who do believe in God. If Jesus were alive today, he wouldn't, in any way, be a supporter of war-loving, charity-foresaking Republicans.
