From Religion Clause:
- Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics has filed a complaint with the Internal Revenue Service against a Brooklyn Park, Minnesota church alleging that the church violated the terms of its tax exempt status when its minister personally endorsed a Congressional candidate from the pulpit last Saturday night.
- The six Catholic bishops of Illinois issued a statement on Elections, Conscience, and the Responsibility to Vote. In part, it reads:
Catholics should always vote for that person most committed to being a public servant dedicated to the common good. …[A]ny candidate who supports a public policy where part of humanity (such as the pre-born, the elderly, the handicapped, or the sick) is excluded from the protection of law and treated as if they were non-persons is gravely deficient in his or her view of the requirements of a just society.
