Currently, the law prohibits political campaign activity by charities and churches by defining a 501©(3) organization as one “which does not participate in, or intervene in (including the publishing or distributing of statements), any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office.” IRS.gov
Lord of Hosts World Outreach Inc. in Omaha, NE is a 501©(3) organization. So what they are doing here is categorically illegal. Why does it never seem shit like this is investigated? Why isn’t the headline even mentioning this is a crime? What the FUCK.
edit: How do I, as an individual, get this into court? I want the right thing to happen here. I don’t believe in “tax the church” because there are plenty of religious adjacent institutions that employ non-religious individuals who provide powerful needed services and jobs to their communities. But this is crippling that good will and leaving this specific church untaxed leaves precedent for a continuation of the long cycle of abuse.
I’ll admit it took some doing to find.
