And More

CFC leads an effort to urge Treasury and the IRS to review the tax status of the Family Research Council (FRC) and other political organizations that may be falsely claiming church status to shield themselves tax transparency requirements. Tax-exempt organizations should not be exploiting tax laws applicable to churches to avoid public accountability and the IRS’s examination of their activities.

The Caucus called on the IRS to strengthen enforcement of the Johnson Amendment, including an investigation into the Ministerio Interacional El Rey Jesus using undisclosed, tax-exempt dollars to fund a rally for Trump’s re-election, which congregants were urged to attend by the lead pastor acting in his official capacity.

The CFC consistently calls for annual appropriations legislation to defund several programs and regulations instituted by the Trump administration that sought to support Christian Nationalism in the name of religious liberty, including the Religious Liberty Task Force, the White House Faith and Opportunity Initiative, and the Commission on Unalienable Rights.

Caucus members commissioned a GAO report to investigate concerns that court-ordered, federally-funded drug treatment programs are imposing a religious test by pressuring individuals to participate in religious practices to fulfill court-ordered requirements.
