Grassley and the 6 televangelists

http://toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071208/OPINION02/712070359


UNLESS the Rapture comes quick, six high-profile televangelists have an appointment with Iowa Sen. Charles E. Grassley, the top-ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee.

Last month, Senator Grassley requested detailed financial records from the high-profile television ministries that would explain how the purchase of luxury cars, private planes, multimillion-dollar homes, jewelry, and fine clothing squares with the tax-exempt status they claim.

-snip-

Jesus may have been a pauper, but wealthy televangelists have figured out ways to make obscene amounts of money from his message.

-snip-

Citing First Amendment concerns, two of the ministries have indicated that they won't comply with the request. This sets up a possible showdown with the Democrat-dominated Senate Finance Committee.
-snip-
---------------------------

Go! Grassley.

will Grassley let them get away with not reporting? hope not.
