Preaching to register and vote. Is this allowed.

Yeah, I got sick of the convention coverage and wanted to listen to the bible thumpers. Man, I must be losing it...

3. I'm trying to watch but, I'm about to freak out with the bullshit.

Why don't I feel the need to change other people's lives??

This guy is Larry Tomaczyk from Atlanta, Ga. I haven't heard him say boooosh yet but, his inferences are clear.

4. Of course it's allowed.

Now if, by contrast, they were actively campaigning for a specific candidate or party (gee, I wonder who), then they'd be risking losing their special tax-exempt status. But that's about as far as it goes, really.

6. Preaching civic duty and responsibility is good as long as they don't

tell you who or what to vote for. I am in favor of anyone asking people to vote.

7. MTV has Rock the Vote

TBN can do likewise, if they so choose (for good or for ill)
