    How about a petition urging the IRS to disallow the tax-exempt status of religious orgs with leaders who endorse any political candidate?

        The Alliance Defending Freedom video tapes a sermon by a preacher specifically violating the rule and send it to the IRS, trying to bait them into applying the rule because they are confident SCOTUS will declare the rule unconstitutional. The IRS never takes the bait. They’d rather have the appearance of a rule than no rule at all. As it is it is mostly self-enforcing on most congregations.

      Go for it.

      It will be just as much a waste of time as this petition.
