Just tell him to endorse Gore from the pulpit on Sunday, and Brother Bill will call off the IRS.

Ok, I admit my ignorance on this one. Is this a troll or someone who is severely html impaired? Does the poster need to be deleted or helped? From what little I can gather this looks like a significant story, if true.

Unfortunately, it is very true. Sorry, I don't know how to hyperlink but check out the Church's website for the whole story. I believe the repo date is April 10 and this may prove to be a stand-off. If you can possibly send a delegation, the rally 3/4, NOON will be at the Federal Couthouse, not the Fed Bldg., in downtown Indianapolis. Very accessible by Interstate. Defense fund contributions would be helpful also. Thank you for your prayers and listen to what your Inner Voice tells you to do about the situation.

Sorry, there is also information about the situation on INFOWARS.COM and FREE REPUBLIC. Militia support from several states has been offered and accepted. Remember that April 20 is a date klinton and johnny reno like to celebrate for some reason.

Perhaps some will begin to find the much lauded 'separation of church and state' cuts both ways. This will be interesting to watch.
