Two thoughts:

1.) Is the church a 501(c)(3)? That would answer any questions.

2.) The church should claim that they are a black church, then no rules will apply.

said in the complaint that the church failed to report to the state commissioner it used its "in-kind" resources to support the proposed constitutional ban.

It's that a hoot! From the very people who have tried to co-opt every church in America for THEIR agenda!

BTW, your #2 is DEAD ON!

LOL! Isn't that true?! Democrats can have political fundraisers at any church that will have them, and there are no repercussions. In fact St. Pauls Methodist church in Helena held a MHR task force--(one of the very groups who filed this "complaint")--- event a few months ago!

Our church has members and officers that speak of advocating justice. We all know that "justice" in this context means liberal causes. Announcements are made (usually by members taking advantage of the announcement segment to stand up and speak) during services of this event or that event. I only cringe when they do this. But they will hear from me vocally and financially if some of these causes become church policy. I won't sue, but I might cut them off.

If the Montana libs are successful with their suit I will be tempted to organize a group to sue every black church that hosts a guest sermon by a Dem politician.

Bingo! Funny how that works, eh?
