Daddy D-founded Alliance Defense Fund is recruiting right-wing pastors to test the IRS ban on making political endorsements from the pulpit, an act that can result in the removal of a church's non-profit status. The "Pulpit Initiative" is being launched as desperation mounts in the social conservative movement -- its leaders know they are losing the culture wars -- and they are looking for ways to ensure that low-information voters out in the pews are guided into voting "correctly."  (WaPo):
