Jul 06, 2022
A very smart friend of mine, an attorney and staunch fighter for racial justice, posted the screen caps below wherein the OP reports that he was able to get one of his local christo-fascist churches booted from tax exempt status with the IRS. The post claimed there was a process anyone could follow involving reporting churches engaged in political activity to the IRS. Second posted asked if this were true. Third poster shared link to the actual form from the IRS which also contains instruction on how to file.
I thought folks here at DK would LOOOOVE this stragedy and I hope you all go forth as I plan to do visiting the local houses of shitbird conservatism and recording any political language being used in these houses of worship to then append to complaints to the IRS. Writ large, this strategy could effectively push these delusional, hateful, jeezoid fucksticks back away from the political process. Not that theyd stop being douchebags, but you BETTER BELIEVE the priests, pastors and other assorted witch doctors SURE wouldnt let the gravy train be interrupted and would likely shut the fuck up. At least in public.

do with school boards.
P.S. May have to print out a bunch of the forms and and leave them on every door in my neighborhood. With a note, If you hear something, say something.

(14,858 posts)4. What is the name of the church that lost tax-exempt status?
If it's Rev. Greg Locke's Global Vision Bible Church, it didn't get booted by the IRS. Rev. Locke chose to end his church's tax exemption. He probably figures he'll make more money, even after taxes, by preaching against Democrats without any restraint.
