The director of this group wrote a letter to the IRS’s Exempt Organizations Division, asking them to look into the comments made by Pastor Charles Worley for being in violation of federal law.
His church, as a 501 (c) 3 organization, has violated the law by attempting to influence an election. Therefore, they must pay taxes.

I thought this was hilarious!
