Black Churches Paid to Propagandize

These paid political advertisements (they’ve been outed paying social media influencers so this is obviously paid as well) are a violation of the law where churches are to not be political for their tax exempt status (see IRS excerpt below). This is a huge pet peeve of mine regarding churches giving up their voice for tax exempt status. True a pastor can comment on issues relating back to the Bible to make political choices clear to the congregation (sneakily), but the revolution of this country came from the pulpit of churches as the soon to be Americans fought for their liberty, freedom and against unfair taxation. Now unfair taxation is used to silence their voice. So we bring this back to the Kamala Harris campaign that is illegally paying for advertisements to fundraise in black churches and just shows you how lawless Demonrats are. Also, people should get out from under these false teachers who would do this for money and violate the law.

The ban on political campaign activity by charities and churches was created by Congress more than a half century ago. The Internal Revenue Service administers the tax laws written by Congress and has enforcement authority over tax-exempt organizations. Here is some background information on the political campaign activity ban and the latest IRS enforcement statistics regarding its administration of this congressional ban.

In 1954, Congress approved an amendment by Sen. Lyndon Johnson to prohibit 501(c)(3) organizations, which includes charities and churches, from engaging in any political campaign activity. To the extent Congress has revisited the ban over the years, it has in fact strengthened the ban. The most recent change came in 1987 when Congress amended the language to clarify that the prohibition also applies to statements opposing candidates.

Currently, the law prohibits political campaign activity by charities and churches by defining a 501(c)(3) organization as one “which does not participate in, or intervene in (including the publishing or distributing of statements), any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office.”
