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.
