Church-State Watchdog Says Church Marquee Constituted Illegal Election Intervention
Oct 23, 2012
A Texas church that posted a marquee message urging people to vote for the Mormon, not the Muslim violated federal tax law and should suffer the consequences, Americans United for Separation of Church and State told the Internal Revenue Service today.
Ray Miller, pastor of the Church in the Valley in Leakey, Texas, posted the message on the churchs marquee. The full message read, VOTE FOR THE MORMON, NOT THE MUSLIM! THE CAPITALIST, NOT THE COMMUNIST!
Pictures of the sign have appeared on several news website and other sources. Miller told a Texas television station that he displayed the sign because he feels strongly about the election.
