Years ago, a strong non-profit woman's group in Minneapolis was very political. They were told by the Legislature, if they continued to be political they would lose their non-profit status and would need to pay taxes. They went back to a community mission.
Would this not apply to churches? If religious organizations wish to be political, sway elections, force agendas; they too, should lose their non-profit status and start paying taxes. Just a thought, Dorie Gallagher/Nokomis REMINDERS: 1. Be civil! Please read the NEW RULES at http://www.e-democracy.org/rules.
