In 2004, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") studied 110 § 501(c)(3) organizations and found that seventy-Jive percent of them had violated federal tax law by engaging in political-campaign activities during the 2004 campaign period.

Specifically, Congress, the IRS, and courts should clarify or otherwise narrowly interpret the lobbying restrictions to allow churches to speak out on important issues of public policy and communicate freely with church members regarding those issues.
