Yikes!  The IRS, politics and religion (churches) all in one article.

IRS Warns Churches About Political Activities, Tax-Exempt Status
WASHINGTON (June 1, 2012)--IRS regional manager Peter Lorenzetti told pastors attending the Faith Leaders Summit meeting in Washington that activities that could result in loss of tax-exempt status include endorsing or opposing candidates, campaigning for them or making contributions to their campaigns.

But pastors are free to do any of those things as private citizens, U.S> Rep. G. K. Butterfield, D-N.C., said.

Lorenzetti said churches can distribute voter guides that educate about political issues without favoring a particular candidate.
