Church Giving

Posted by Danny, on May 31st, 2006, at 2:20 pm

Not only are non-profit organizations like churches forbidden by the tax code for participating in partisan political activities, I don’t think any of us would really even want any candidates to have the potential advantage of being supported by funds and resources that come from tax-deductible donations.

Sen. Sundra Escott (D – District 20) reports on her 45 Day Report on Contributions (Form 2) a $150 gift from City of Refuge Prayer and Deliverance Church.

The Clarke County Democrat lists three churches who contributed to the campaigns of two local candidates. Sheriff candidate Donnie Arnold received $500 from New Greater First Baptist Church, Thomasville. Circuit clerk candidate Bernita Stallworth received $200 from Good Hope Baptist Church and $125 from Greater Pilgrims Rest Baptist Church.

Odd.
