How to report a church for electioneering.

[ThisIsMe]

Churches are not allowed to be political and keep their 501C status.

Here's how to report them:

To: eoclass@irs.gov

Subject: Report of Illegal Church Electioneering

Body:

“To whom it may concern,

I am contacting you in regards to [Church name] for their partisan political actions despite claiming non profit status. They reside at [Full address]. Photo evidence of their electioneering is attached to this email in the form of a [Type of political advertisement] posted at/distributed from [Detailed location; i.e. SW corner of building]; photo taken [time and date].

I found this information on reddit after a bit of digging around and used it a few days ago.

The church down the street has taken down their sign..

By the way, this applies not only to churches, but any 501(c)(3) organization, including BLM and possibly ActBlue

[MisterBeale]

Nope. Absolute Truth.

They can speak (tRump has at several churches as well) But it cannot be a campaign speech.

Here's some info for ya:

Can political candidates speak at churches? Yes, if they follow these five rules

Churches and other religious communities can invite candidates to speak, but they need to follow these rules.

I already posted this information fool.

Do we want the Satanist Church, or the Mosque, or the Falun Gong ......NOT paying for the services they use.....such as those roads & bridges, or for that matter, the fire departments or police forces?

What part of the First Amendment don't you understand?

Report any that you see.

The law applies to all.

I don't see any churches electioneering.

. . and if I did? I don't care, I am not motivated enough to see if they are incorporated or not.

It would be a waste of time to report a church for electioneering, when they have every right to do so if they are not a 501c.

They are all inherently tax free fool.

 

[MisterBeale]

But it cannot be a campaign speech.

Unless they are non-incorporated. In which case, yes, they can do so.

You really are dumb, aren't you?

Bach where there were 3 major networks it was the law of the nation.

Abd quashed any and all Conservative voices. Thank G-d Reagan killed the Fairness Doctrine

 

[Mac-7]

Was anti abortion and included the words "thank god for trump"

Wish I had taken a pic, but I didn't.

A church that is pro life?

No wonder you were pissed

How does fairness quash conservatives?

No, church was anti freedom.

Anti-American subversive.

You know nothing about our nation or culture. Sad.

Beale is wobbling around in circles. They lived then, we live now. Think!

Well there you go.. I guess it's ONLY anti freedom when you're opposed to abortion..
But don't you DARE oppose any vaccine mandates..
.. or oppose stopping kids from freely exercising their religious freedom in school..

 

[MisterBeale]

Religious entities that engage in illegal electioneering jeopardize their tax-exempt status.

Not really.

Appeal to novelty fallacy at work?

The appeal to novelty (also called appeal to modernity or argumentum ad novitatem) is a fallacy in which one prematurely claims that an idea or proposal is correct or superior, exclusively because it is new and modern.

 

[boevans]

DStarr777, no one, including me, made any such claim.

Learn the definition of the terms of logic and how they are applied.

Your statements about America, and your despising of the founding documents is all anyone need see, to know you hate America and its founding principles.

Not at all. My point is that we are not frozen from action because of the Founders.
