God gave us free will and choices and now my choice is clear: I’m voting for Senator John Mc Cain and Governor Sarah Palin.

It might be Oprah’s show (which I too made her HARPO Productions rich by viewing her shows, seeing her movies and purchasing her magazines) but it’s my vote.

As an Independent, now I’ll vote McCain & Palin.

I vote to ban the Oprah show and any followers that misused their media powers,too.

Again, it is my free will and choice.

If the media can express what they want, why not churches?

This story was an excellent example:

“Pastor Gus Booth of Warroad Community Church in Warroad, Minnesota, could be in trouble with the Internal Revenue Service.

Booth preached a sermon encouraging his congregation to vote against Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama when Clinton was still actively in the Democratic presidential race. He used scripture to outline why both candidates were out of line for supporting abortion and homosexuality. The IRS has imposed strict restrictions on what pastors can do and say in the political arena.

“I mean the law, the IRS law is unconstitutional. I have a freedom-of-speech right to be able to say whatever I want to say from behind the pulpit — and they have no right to impede that,” the pastor explains.

Booth was asked about the possibility of his church losing its tax-exempt status. “I would think they would try to and maybe they intend to, but ultimately I don’t preach the gospel in order to get a political deduction. If we lose our tax-exempt status, then so be it. I want to keep it because it keeps more money in the kingdom, and we do good things as a church. I mean we do so much more than politics here, it’s amazing,” Booth adds.

The Alliance Defense Fund will stand by Booth in the event the IRS challenges his actions.

“I preached a sermon,” Booth explains. “It was an opposition sermon based on the presidential candidates of Clinton and Obama — that’s when Clinton was still in the race — and I evaluated their positions on some key issues in light of scripture. And scripture has come to a conclusion that those two issues — specifically abortion and homosexuality — are vehemently opposed [by God] ….” And because both candidates are “okay with those sins,” Booth says he “just encouraged [his] congregation not to vote for them.”

If the IRS relieves the church of its tax-exempt status, Booth says that means he must pay taxes in order to preach about sin as it relates to politics.”

God Bless America!
