Rep. Chip Roy leads letter to IRS blasting 'flawed' decision to deny tax-exempt status to Christian group
Fox News
Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy called on the head of the IRS Friday to remove a top official who denied a Texas-based Christian group tax exemption status for its alleged ties to the Republican Party.
Stephen Martin, IRS director of exempt organizations, said in a May letter to Christians Engaged, that the group did not qualify for the federal tax exemption status because it "engaged in prohibited political campaign intervention." "While you educate voters on what the bible says about issues, your educational activities are not neutral," Martin wrote to the group. "The topics typically are affiliated with distinct candidates and specific political party platforms."More Related News
