OpenGov - Open Government Brainstorm

I support removal of all tax exemptions for religious orgs. They have been sponsoring politicians since time began. I live near Lynchburg, VA. and have personally witnessed what I believe to be violations of the law in this regard by the late Jerry Fallwell's LIBERTY UNIVERSITY. Check 'em out and see what I mean.

If you see a church actively speek for any politician, please video record it. That is evidence to peirce the religious veil and remove their eligibility for tax exemption.

Let me get this straight - hurt all churches and patrons because a few have acted unwisely? If we apply that type of prescription to everything, where would we wind up? I don't support ANY taxes in the first place, but unless someone makes a better case (although the title of this one is appealing), I cannot support this.

Public financed elections would do the trick. After all, right now it's not churches that are electing our officials, especially our President. Our Presidents have been appointed (not elected by CorpGov (not ChurchGov) for decades. Clinton, Bush, Obama, McCain, makes no difference, they were all pre-approved.

Be careful with definitions.

Churches are not religious organizations, and religious organizations are not churches.

Churches are noting more than a collection of Citizens with similar views, assembling to worship a Creator God in a manner of their own choice. Citizens with RIGHTS that are not diminished by their association one with another.

Religious organizations are corporations, creations of the government. What the government creates the government can destroy. The government has every right to control its creations.
