Different church, same question.
Advocating a political position is advocating a political position.

Meh, its a sign at a shitty hood church in a shitty birmingham 'hood.
How much tax would they pay? It would cost more to audit them and then sue to collect than would be worth. (Every single year)
Their message isn't worth anything anyway.
Trump will take Alabama in a landslide. They can roll that up in an ebt card and suck on it.

If advocating for prolife is political, then there are no non-political issues. You’re dumb enough to argue with this as well.

You don't have to prove you are an idiot over and over. We get it.

The consensus here is for you to gtfo in case you haven't noticed.
Also, no church I've attended has ever gotten political.
Piss off.

They can advocate for positions candidates and parties hold: "Although the “insubstantial test” for churches is vague, churches can do a minimal amount of lobbying. Churches can attempt to influence any legislation considered at the federal level (Congress), state level (state legislatures), or local and municipal level (city councils and county boards). The IRS considers legislation to include any acts, bills, resolutions, confirmation of political appointees (including Cabinet members and judgeships), and ballot initiatives or referendums. These advocacy activities, however, must be limited. Unfortunately, if a church is one with an active membership, regular services and ongoing community activities, it may be difficult to prove that more than a minimal amount of the church’s time and resources are being spent on lobbying. All of the facts of their participation must be considered. For example, if the topic of the sermons for 49 weeks of the year do not address referendum issues, but do advise on referenda for the remaining 3 weeks, is that “minimal”? "
Tell me when a church loses its charitable status for supporting Democrat political positions, having voter drives and participating in voter turnout. All legitimate under existing rules.

Funny story about Michael P Jordan...
I work in transportation here in Birmingham, and our drivers are ICs. Michael P Jordan called one day and inquired about driving for us. I jotted his info down to give to our recruiter(black woman.)
He mentioned that he was a preacher at New Era, and that rang a bell for me. I remembered reading about his anti-white/anti-gentrification marquee last year, or the year before.
I gave my recruiter his info, and also mentioned to her where I'd heard his name before. My recruiter said that that was gonna be a no for her, dawg, threw away the info sheet, and never called him back.

Trump claimed to have done away with the Johnson Amendment. Why expect enforcement of it now?

You calling someone a pussy is hilarious. Don't get mad at the messenger.
I guess I just got lucky with all my churches.
I don't really want you to gtfo. As the lead clown, I'm afraid your prog brothers would be lost along with all the entertainment you clowns provide.
