I doubt it. I think that's an entirely different piece of law and is tied to their not paying taxes. - TWuG Jan 21, 17:56
churches, and not for profits have not been considered to be like a "person" legaly or for tax purposes, so probably not. - tRuMaN Jan 21, 17:55
NFPs (including Churches) already good make political statement/stances. NFP's (including Churches) can't endorse specific candidates though. - ty97 Jan 21, 17:55 5
- They (evangelicals) have been pushing the envelope already and I'll bet there will be a test case in the works before the year is out -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 21, 18:05 4
  - IANAL, but I don't see a constitutional basis for NFPs to complain about their inability to endorse candidates. - ty97 Jan 21, 18:09 3
    - like they'll let that stop them? -- nm - znufrii Jan 21, 18:10 2
      - They'll say it's an attack on religion. Or something like that. - the liioulu with a spa in a bottle Jan 21, 18:20 1
        
        exactly. -- nm - znufrii Jan 21, 18:23
