17. Do they? Should all non-profits have that right?
My opinion (and it is only that) is when groups/organizations begin taking in taxpayer money, the group should come under the scrutiny and be subject to the same laws, as all the other groups. Bush's Faith Based Initiative has funneled billions upon billions into the "Christian" faith. There should be some accountability there.

Finally, if the Federal government can place stipulations on highway dollars, education dollars, economic development dollars, then they can sure as I'm sitting here, place stipulations on faith-based dollars. To not do so provides groups of faith an upper hand in relation to other non-profit who compete for the same funding.
