You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.  Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.  

—- Mark 10:42-44

       While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are in Afghanistan, Djibouti, Iraq, the Philippines and west Africa defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Mark W. Everson, commissioner of internal revenue, speaking in Cleveland (Federal enclave of) Ohio, says there was a sharp increase in illegal political activity by 501(c)3, government-charted, non-profit religious organizations and charities during the previous election cycle.  Among violations the Internal Revenue Service found were:

• distributing material for particular candidates;
• contributing to campaigns;
• the theo-conservative (dominionist) Jerry Falwell Ministries endorsed Republican (fascist/socialist) de facto President George W. Bush (having received an unlawful advantage of 52 ineligible Electoral votes);
• the Republican Party of North Carolina requested selected churches for their directories to build mailing lists;

       NOTE: If Churches wish to engage in political activity, which is their lawful right, all they need do is renounce their status as 501 (c)3, government-charted, non-profit corporations, and reclaim their status as new testament (First Amendment) Churches.
