Pastor’s Shocking Church Sign Calling Obama a ‘Communist’ & ‘Muslim’ & Endorsing Romney Sparks IRS Complaint

Oct. 23, 2012 2:33pm

Pastor Ray Miller of Church in the Valley in Leakey, Texas, likely didn’t realize the national attention his church would get when he posted a controversial message about President Barack Obama. This month, Miller, known for placing wacky signs outside of the house of worship, posted the following proclamation: “VOTE FOR THE MORMON, NOT THE MUSLIM! THE CAPITALIST, NOT THE COMMUNIST!”

After the story about the marquee was reported in local — then national — media, a church-state separatist group issued a letter to the Internal Revenue Service, demanding that Miller and his church be investigated for violating tax code. But before we get into the Americans United for Separation of Church and State (AU) complaint, let’s further explore the political sign.


According to KHOU-TV, the message outside Church in the Valley is the talk of the town. While the small-town preacher has been declining interviews about the signage, he did say that the message was his idea, exclusively. Admitting that the anti-Obama sentiment was intentional, Miller also said that he has strong feelings about the 2012 election.

While the preacher maintains that the sign speaks for itself — it may also end up causing him some unwanted legal grief. After all, churches are 501(c)(3) organizations. As tax-exempt entities registered by the IRS, they are not legally permitted to endorse candidates. By asking those observing the sign to “vote for the Mormon” and to avoid supporting “the communist,” some are charging that the church illegally endorsed Republican candidate Mitt Romney.

The issue isn’t going away either, as AU petitioned the IRS today to investigate the church, with the organization claiming in a press release received by TheBlaze that Miller “violated federal tax law and should suffer the consequences.” The organization’s executive director, the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, said that he hopes to see the IRS crack down on the house of worship’s “over-the-top law-breaking.”

“Millions of Americans are aware that this church has openly violated the law, and many of them are asking what the IRS intends to do about it,” Lynn wrote in a letter delivered to the IRS today. “Failure to act will only spur more houses of worship to ignore the law. I urge you to investigate this matter and apply the laws of the land.”

Despite this call for the government to intervene, there may be a snag in Lynn’s plan. As TheBlaze reported on Monday, the government has suspended church audits until new regulations are adopted. While it’s possible that the AU request will be backlogged, it’s unlikely that an investigation will happen in the short-term.

    Its called Hypocrisy. How many Left Leaning Churches do we hear about constantly telling their members to support Obama and the Progressive Agenda. What about Media Matters – They are clearly propagandists for Obama yet have the same type of tax exemption.

    This is nothing more than the Lefts typical attempt to squash the free speech of others because they do not like the message.

Fire the IRS – we do not need them. Why not investigate Libya…. hello?… is anyone home? Impeach Obama should have happened yesterday…. I love this sign and love that the pastor has balls to speak up for himself because we are SUPPOSED TO BE LIVING IN A “FREE” COUNTRY.

      The law 501(3)(c) is unconstitutional. My church preached a sermon last week about how the dems platform celebrates abortion and that the GOP platform was against abortion. That we should vote for the GOP candidate. And how we can’t be silent no more. The week before E W Jackson spoke on the constitutionality of this law and how churches are trying to get this into court so the IRS will lose this power that is against We the People and our freedom of Religion. This is the web site for the sermon if any wants to hear the truth about the genocide that taken place in our country.

      Interesting views going around here. Here’s an idea: wouldn’t taking this to court be a GOOD thing? If it is indeed unconstitutional (and I personally think it is), then churches can no longer be sued or kept quiet on their political views. If it isn’t constitutional… well, we’re exactly where we are now. For that reason I think that this lawsuit should continue.

      @The-Monk
      “The IRS would have to first prove that Obama is a communist to say the sign was referring to him.”

      Actually, the IRS would have to prove there’s a Mormon running for president. Last I checked, no one (left, right, or center) is arguing that.

      @Rickc34

      “Again the atheist’s attack believers .”

      Reread the article. The leader of the group filing a suit is a reverend. He might be a poor Christian and an even poorer constitutionalist, but it’s highly unlikely he’s an atheist if he’s labeling himself as a reverend.

      @Snow

      “one more example of the government and anti-christian groups using the IRS for their political intimidation.”

      See my comment to Rick. A reverend leads this organization… not what one would normally call “anti-Christian.”

      @Socialistslayer

      “I agree – Mr. IRS man what makes you think I was endorsing any candidate – Do recognize someone as a Muslim and a Communist ????”

      Do you recognize a presidential candidate who is a Mormon?

      @Fastfacts

      I agree. Any atheist 503(c)3s endorsing a candidate should also lose their tax exempt status.

      Snow: It’s not an indictment on Christianity but more of a heavy handed response to someone with diverse opinions. The government never says anything to any church that forwards the liberal/progressive agenda. The Reverend Wrights, Al Sharptons and the AFME and some Baptist Churches along with others that preach liberalism are left alone. They’re Christian churches but fit into the progressive mold and are therefore left alone.

He calls himself a Christian, and who is any pastor or other individual to say differently? WOW! Also, anyone with an educated mind who truly knows what Communism is would never call Pres. Obama a Communist.

But since Socialism is never achievable, Communism is where the road ends when Big Government decides they know better than the individual and decide to take care of everyone. Those in power in the government take the place of the rich so there is never any true equality. You can never have equality when some people work at the yoke and others sit around an reap the reward of that work.

    Sorry, Lefties, if this is breaking the law, so is Alllll the leftist drivel on NPR.

    The tax implication of churches relates not to churches and whether the IRS can come after a church for what is said at the pulpit has never been tested (for good reason if you are a government bureaucrat and want to maintain power even if it is by tacit agreement and not law)…

    why do you think the Westboro Baptist hateful group has not been stripped of tax exempt status? because it is at best a questionable legal approach, likely to get the whole house of cards torn down by the Supremes.

    and remember who started it! O went after the churces in making women ammunition for his changing of America… if he had not gone after the church, most pastors would not be pointing out the perils of supporting the Left today.

      Not a leftist at all, but I’m curious if you have a link to NPR endorsing Obama or telling people to vote for him over Romney. 503c3s can support their own agendas (for example, churches can speak freely about voting pro-life is the only Christian voting), but they cannot specify candidates. In the same way, NPR can spout “facts” that are blatantly favorable to Obama, but it’s not considered endorsement either.

      Why does gov. dictate pulpit speech or church signs? Because most churches sold thier headship to satan. Biblical God is no longer the churches headship. The simple solution is to give back 501C3 tax exempt status. Many churches have done this and still maintain their tax exempt status without being a 501C3 organization yet now can speak out. NO CHURCH NEEDS TO BE 501C3 TO BE TAX EXEMPT. Historically all churches are tax exempt. 501C3 churches have been duped by the gov.. One national attorney who specializes in church clients exiting 501C3′s has never had one church end up with a problem in all his years. Church members had better wake up and get their church out of 501C3 status.

      Some threats to Mr Obama, whose Secret Service codename is Renegade, have been publicised, including an alleged plot by white supremacists in Tennessee late last year to rob a gun store, shoot 88 black people, decapitate another 14 and then assassinate the first black president in American history.

      Morning Cat.

      I agree that they probably have no case, the matter here is the pressure they can bring to bear – not just the slander of being accused of wrongdoing, and the damage thus done to reputations. I have seen too many fine pastors ruined for good due to a insinuation of ‘breaking a rule’ and my own church I led was hounded in 2000 by the IRS over a false charge by a former member.

      We were vindicated in the end, but the damage had been done. The subsequent witch hunt by the church superiors in my denomination made me so sick of their opportunism it was one of many reasons I left for good.

    Obama is a Muslim and his religion is Islam.
    Anyone who supports Obama is on a suicide mission just like a terrorist is.

    Obama’s only HOPE is to CHANGE America into a third world country like Kenya where he was born,

    Obama is not the POTUS. Obama is an Imposter and has no right to be POTUS.
    Obama is a mole for the Luciferian New World Order of the UN.

    Where is it in the constitution that there is a separation between church and state. That was made up back in the 1950′s. Just like the “right to privacy” was used by a liberal supreme court to say it is OK to slaughter babies in the womb.
    This needs to be addressed because it is contrary to the constitution.

      Ellie,

      The form of worship that is clean and undefiled from the standpoint of our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation, and to keep oneself without spot from the world. James 1:27

      For a Christian, it does not really matter what the Constitution says. What matters is what God’s Word says. Can we serve two masters?

    This is good. There are a number of conservative Christian pastors that have been challenging this law that is contrary to the constitution. There is no way that law can stand. It inhabits free speech because of a person’s religious status. The ministers during the American Revolution spoke plainly and openly against the British and helped to bring about our freedom from the king of England. There is nothing in the constitution that says that a person who is a pastor or any part of a religious organization cannot speak out about their political feelings. I hope it goes to the supreme court!

    Typical, here we go again you outwardly don’t approve of Obama and the IRS comes after you. That is a violation of the first amendment. Besides the fact things Obama has done have been more in those exact directions. I agree with the church.
