http://www.bilerico.com/2008/11/why_stop_at_punishing_just_the_mormon_ch.phpA movement is afoot to punish the Mormon Church by getting the IRS to strip them of their tax-exempt status. I agree 110 percent. But why stop at the Mormon Church? Let's see to it that all the "yes on 8" contributors are punished. A friend just sent me the complete list. See below, after the jump. The list is long, and astounding for its diversity -- Mormons, Catholics, Anglicans, Jews, Protestant evangelicals and Pentecostals, you name it. Both churches and nonprofits are on the list. Every single one of these names should be stripped of their tax-exempt status by the IRS. Ditto the contributors in Arizona and Florida, where similar marriage bans were passed.
I've also seen mention of a boycott-Utah movement aimed at punishing the Mormon Church. The organizers want to target the state's tourist business and Sundance Film Festival. But here too, only a small part of the problem is being attacked.
