The IRS prohibits tax-exempt organizations from endorsing candidates, so the Scott Brown yard sign clearly ran afoul of federal law. And to his credit, when the Rev.

The Corpus Christi sign was perfectly proper, however, since the IRS interprets nonprofits working for or against ballot initiatives to be "lobbying" rather than "political" activity. But enough with legalities. How far should religious groups go when it comes to politics? Are U.S. religious leaders now crossing the line?
