Hm... Rainbow Coalitian and a few others have tax exempt status and push forward just as politically as the worst on the Christian right.

Honestly I'd love stronger enforcement of the tax exempt status, but it's not easy and it certainly wouldn't fly if attempted. It's too easy to straddle the line of supporting political policies without ever mentioning a candidate. At no point is supporting or opposing policies going to cost tax exempt, nor inviting certain politicians to come and speak.
