Bush Treads Fine Line in Courting Church Vote

Hoping to gain an even stronger foothold from the fundamentalist community, the Bush campaign is recruiting followers in "friendly congregations" to organize rallies and distribute literature. Earlier this week, e-mails were sent to Bush supporters asking them to identify their house of worship. However, federal law prohibits churches from being closely involved in the political process, else they lose their tax-exempt status. Notes one former Internal Revenue Service commissioner, "I am quite surprised to see that in his campaign for re-election as chief executive that the president is encouraging churches to break the tax rules the chief executive is supposed to enforce."
