IRS probes minister for backing Huckabee
The report by Bob Unruh on WorldNet Daily (2.12.2008) begins:
One of the pre-eminent advocacy law firms in the nation, the Alliance Defense Fund, is taking on the defense of a California pastor accused by the Internal Revenue Services of engaging in "political activities" in order to establish firmly the speech rights for pastors to address moral issues from their pulpits, even if those issues also fall within the political arena.
Erik Stanley, a lawyer with the ADF, told WND the complaint against Pastor Wiley Drake, of Buena Park First Southern Baptist Church in Buena Park, Calif., is straight-forward because Drake endorsed a presidential candidate as an individual, not as a representative of his church.
