Wichita Eagle | 08/31/2004 | PRO: DON'T SILENCE CHURCHES

Wichita Eagle | 08/31/2004 | PRO: DON'T SILENCE CHURCHES: "When the Internal Revenue Service was established, it had one purpose -- to collect revenue for the general treasury. Over the past 50 years, that role has expanded, and to the chagrin of many people of faith, the IRS has become the 'speech police,' holding a heavy hand over nonprofit organizations (including churches) and threatening to remove their tax-exempt status if they participate in political activity.
How did the IRS get this special power?"
