This Sunday, thirty-three evangelical Protestant pastors in 22 states will participate in a 'pulpit initiative' conceived by an Arizona-based Christian legal organization (the Alliance Defense Fund) which hopes to overturn the Internal Revenue Code's 54-year-old ban on political endorsements by tax-exempt organizations, including churches.
The pastors plan to endorse John McCain in hopes the IRS will come after their congregations' tax exemptions. ADF then intends to fight their cases all the way to the Supreme Court, whose conservative justices, it hopes, will hold the ban on endorsements unconstitutional.
