If it’s a separate group renting the church, I think it’s safe unfortunately, but if the pastor were to say anything explicitly endorsing mastriano, they would potentially have issues if someone recorded and reported. I don’t find myself in churches, but I could see it happening if I knew something like this was going on. In fact, it would make for a really interesting documentary. Most people aren’t aware you can (and should) report churches for doing this.

They get reported to the IRS, not locally. You just need proof of something explicitly political - them asking you to vote for someone or whatever.

I’m not going to be naïve and say it’s that simple, but yeah, this flyer is definitely leaning on pastors breaking this law and thereby potentially losing their tax exempt status. Good riddance.
