What evidence do we need to get tax-exempt status revoked fr/ megachurches

Maybe it's time for some of us to start following in ginbarn's brave footsteps and go "undercover" at places like Prestonwood.

These people understand $$$ if nothing else. If they want to use their bully pulpits to overthrow the constitution, they've got to be willing to pay the price.

This is not about attacking persons of faith--this is a fight against megacorporations posing as religious organizations and raising a lot of money to destroy our country.

Starbucks? Main Street cafe? Boutique shops? How is this nonprofit? And if it's all legit, let's start our own chain of DU centers, tax-free. We could raise a lot of $$ for progressive causes.

1. Thank you satya!

I agree - we need to be gathering evidence. It hurts my soul to go to these places, but I'll do it if it helps save us.

2. Not much, really, can be done at this point

They're pretty good at skirting around the restrictions:
