Hacktivism project: attend services at these churches around election-time and document (audio and video if possible) any cases of them endorsing for or against specific candidates. Churches can lose their tax-exempt status for doing that. It happened to a church in upstate NY during the first Clinton election. (They later had the ruling overturned on the basis that the IRS somehow singled them out for disproportionate treatment, but I'm hopeful that with more evidence of more churches doing it, simply getting caught wouldn't be legitimate grounds for crying "They're picking on me!" any more...) |

I live in Texas. I've yet to see or hear of this really happening. I've seen churches directly involved in politics my whole life. Sure, they try not to mention names, but they don't need to.
