Atlanta, GA – Pastors and faith leaders from throughout Georgia — including from more than a dozen churches — announced Monday they are personally endorsing Newt Gingrich in Tuesday’s Republican primary and joining his Faith Leaders Coalition.

The pastors include Dr. Richard Lee, pastor of First Redeemer in Cumming, Dr. Michael Youssef, an Atlanta Christian author and broadcaster, and the Rev. Benny Tate of Rock Springs Methodist in Milner, Ga.

Lee, Youssef and Tate are national co-chairs of Gingrich’s Faith Leaders Coalition. They will be working with the new Georgia faith leaders on Gingrich’s advisory coalition.

“Our nation sorely needs a President who not only says he believes in God but takes faith with him to the Oval Office every day,” said Dr. Lee. “Newt Gingrich is that man. And he will be the type of President to protect our right to worship without Washington interference. Religious freedom is what makes America exceptional, and Newt will make sure that freedom remains secure.”

I trust someone will be in touch with the IRS to make sure none of these "faith leaders" violated the tax-exemption provisions of their respective churches.

1. How can these churches and Pastors endorse political candidates without running afoul of their

tax exempt status?

8. They just arent allowed to do it from the pulpit.

Or tell their parishioners that they must vote for x candidate, saying they support x candidate themselves is entirely their right however as citizens.

2. Has somebody told pastor Billy Bob and his colleagues that gingrich is catholic?

I've heard papists aren't too popular among churchgoers of the rolling in the sawdust persuasion.

3. Too bad we don't enforce laws anymore, especially tax laws.

Nevertheless, I'm sure this will be just the thing to put the Gingrich candidacy over the top.

4. So those prea¢her$ are into adultery?

5. ...and immediately forfeit their ministries' tax exempt status

...
Or not. Whatever.

6. Gingrich "takes faith with him to the Oval Office every day"

Especially if he has a young pretty aide named Faith.
