Isn't that being involved in politics? Should they now be taxed for being a lobbyist?

This question isn't about Clinton liberals or conservatives or even Republicans/Democrats. So, please don't b*tch to me about it.
This question is about the MORMON church. Can people read?

The Church itself can't give, neither can businesses, etc. There are a lot of state and federal laws that govern that.
However, when people say a certain business, church or organization gives money to a candidate, they mean that the membership and leadership and/or the Political Action Committee controlled by those people give money to the candidates.
The Church itself (as an official entity) doesn't give, but its membership and leadership might.

The Mormon church isn't giving ANYTHING to Romney. The church NEVER gets involved with politics. Even the directory of members can't be used for political things.
Whomever gave you this info is full of crap!

I really doubt that the LDS church gave any money to Romney for his Presidential campaign. What proof do you have that they did?

It is perfectly legal. There have been MANY laws that determine how much money can be given, but donations are acceptable from businesses, churches, etc.

The answer to this question is simple. Nothing is illegal for any of the candidates, they all take the money anyway they can get it, no holds barred. If you think any different, well, I got land in Florida for you.

Not only is it legal but it is a protected right by the Supreme Court.
