  i see no reason why any organised religion should be exempt from paying their due taxes.

  here's a chance to rob the mormon church of their tax exempt status.... please visit http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/review-the-501c3-status-of-the-church-of-latter-day-saints-the-mormons and sign it and pass it on to your friends.. .

  the lds church contributed a significant amount of money and effort to endorse prop 8 in california via its network of church, media, and community outlets enshrining discrimination under the law for thousands of californians and their families.. .

  No, they shouldn't. If enough black and white churches work together, maybe we can petition the IRS to loosen up some of the regulations. Maybe make it to where you can't endorse a candidate, but you can endorse a ballot measure.

  No presumption about it, this was a grass roots effort that bridged denominational, ethnic, and political affilitations. Even many white Barack voters, voted in favor of this. But in answer to the above question, apparently the gays are now targeting blacks over this too. This gay group is one militant bunch that will stop at nothing to get what they want.

  Think again, this was a grassroots effort that worked together with white and black churches. Apparently it was preached from the pulpit in both black and white. The Mormon church spearheaded the effort though.

  What happened, you are right, this has happened numerous times before. I don't have the references you are looking for.

  Wow Country Girl, you said that so eloquently.
  
  Most non profits have some kind of agenda to further their beliefs and causes.

  Yes, I see what you are saying. Direct giving from the churches bank account would appear to be a violation. Yes I get it.
  
  
  Now the question is, I wonder how careful they went about it?

  Tuesday, it all depends on how strict you apply the rule. A simple bake sale to raise money for a political cause could be seen as getting politically involved too. Any organized effort by a church could be seen as politically crossing the line.

  I understand your question and yes it may very well be in violation, however if they penalize the Mormon church they would have to peanlize all of them that get involved in the political process.
  
  
  I have seen numerous figures on the amount of money spent on this proposition, both pro and anti.
  
  My question is this----Has the Mormon church publicly revealed how much money they spent?
