AU Complains To IRS About Religious Group's Online Opposition To Romney

Americans United for Separation of Church and State announced last week that it has sent a letter to the Internal Revenue Service complaining that Bill Keller Ministries should be investigated for violating limits on non-profit organizations. Its website, Liveprayer.com, opposing the presidential candidacy of Mitt Romney, arguing, among other things, that "If you vote for Mitt Romney, you are voting for satan!" Here is Liveprayer's full posting.

UPDATE: On Thursday, the AP reported that Keller rejected AU's charges, saying: ""I have never told anybody who to vote for or who not to vote for - ever. I have every right to speak on matters of life and culture, including political issues, and to educate people on the spiritual implications of those issues."
