we have a LARGE church here in CA. where the pastor got up and told the people that if they didn't vote republican that they would be committing a sin. that was wrong too.

however, I do believe that obama is undercover. I believe he is anti american and NOTHING ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING will change my mind on that!!!
In Canada, if a candidate is endorsed in Church, you could be in danger of losing your Charitable Status as Non Profit Org (Churches) are not to be political.

Lose your Charitable Status and all your Tax Receipts to contributers are worthless in regards to a tax break.

I don't think our churches are suppose to endorse a candidate either but they kinda look the other way here in the states.
I heard that in canada,your churches can't preach against homosexuality. word is, that some have even been arrested or had their church shut down.

churches can lose their tax exempt status for telling people what candidate to vote for or not to vote for is my understanding

Ron is Canadian....Id say...if we can get the filthy rich to pay taxes instead of finding tax loopholes and shuffling their money into off shore accounts etc etc...and to help pay for it then I am all for it.

But all too often the burden goes on the middle class.
