Ministers don't need to use their pulpits for a direct endorsement. There are many other ways to let it be known how you feel about a certain candidate.
I certainly don't want them messing up the church's tax exempt status for the rest of us!! These guys are arrogant, pompous (IMO) and really do believe that they are responsible for George Bush being elected last election. This is an elitist group who really think they have WAY more authority than they really do!
Want to know how I REALLY feel about this?
Needless to say, I will not be following their lead!

Have you ever thought about operating your church as a “Free Church”? When a church operates under that umbrella they are free from the IRS restraints in the 501c3.
