This article is actually a year old, but I found it fascinating, so here it goes.
Pastors at the time planned to make a stand against the government's ban on tax-exempt organizations endorsing certain political arguments, as they believed that it was a violation of their right to free speech. Endorsing John McCain, the pastors were to attempt a speech for their own political beliefs.
In my opinion, this is HIGHLY biased. This would present the opportunity for some religious factions to gain funding from certain wealthy political benefactors, which would of course, grow wildly out of control. What the pastors failed to realize is that the founding fathers worked deliberately and diligently to prevent the state from being dictated by religious persuasions, which is why the government imposed the ban on non-profit organizations in the first place. The current tax situation makes funds available for the common good, and is not based on any political point of view. It should remain this way.
