Nevermind that countless churches that preached FOR Bush before the 2004 election. What church was it that was threatening to kick members out if they didn't vote for Bush? Did THEY receive a letter from the IRS?
By all means, apply the law to that first church and remove their tax exempt status if they are entering the political arena. But then it must be applied to ALL churches, no matter which side of the spectrum they're on.
