Tax Information for Charitable and Religious Organizations

Under the Internal Revenue Code, all section 501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office. Contributions to political campaign funds or public statements of position (verbal or written) made on behalf of the organization in favor of or in opposition to any candidate for public office clearly violate the prohibition against political campaign activity. Violation of this prohibition may result in denial or revocation of tax-exempt status and the imposition of certain excise tax.

Organizations lead by the likes of Pat Robertson,Gary Bauer, Donald Wildmon, Paul Cameron, James Dobson, Phyllis Schlafly, and Jerry Falwell, violate this statute daily and should have their tax exempt status revoked. Why doesn't the IRS take action???
