I would suggest to the church that they be more careful. They can lose their Tax Exemption and the right to be considered a Religion. They will be viewed as a Political group then and will have to follow new guidelines. Pat Robertson is dangerously close now... strange how they don't put that kind of stuff in the media.

I vote according to the Word of God, not a church. If a candidate goes against the Word of God in any of the issues I will not vote for him or her. A church should not say "vote for this candidate". What they should do is make sure that the churches members are following Christ and then we will vote for the right candidate ourselves. - My opinion-

My (former) church does that every year. They get around regulations by having it sent by the president of the board and claiming that the church mailing list is open for use by all members.
As for their suggestions, I do just the opposite. For the races that I have not already researched and decided myself, I vote the opposite of their suggestions. :-)

Not necessarily, but if my church suggested that I vote for someone who does not fall in line with Biblical beliefs, then I would be more inclined not to follow that church. I firmly believe God will hold us accountable for those we place in office.

RUN!!!! In John 17: 14 and 18:36, Jesus was speaking to his Father in prayer and to Pilate when he repeated neither he nor his kingdom nor his followers were part of the world. If they were the world would have loved them.
He had nothing to do with politics and neither would the people making up his church.

It is not appropriate for a church leader to spend Church service time encouraging a vote, one way or another. Now it is fine for him or her to to have opinions.

What're the chances of a congregation NOT voting for whoever their pastor tells them to? A majority of them believe their pastors have a telephone straight to God and every word their pastors speak comes straight from God himself. So...why not let somebody else continue to do their thinking for them????

I wouldn’t attend any church that thought it had the right to tell members how to vote.
