Ok for me, but not for thee....
The Unitarian Universalist Association's Washington Office for Advocacy (their lobbying office) urges the UUA's members to write their Congressional Representatives and tell them to vote against President Bush's tax cut proposal.
On a nearby page, the UUA's Washington Office also urges UUA members to write their Representatives to oppose the "Houses of Worship Political Speech Protection Act" (H.R. 2357) which would allow houses of worship the ability to engage in partisan political activities.
Some may argue that the Washington Office for Advocacy is not a house of worship, and that's a fair point. Most mainline denominations have lobbying offices and do it legally while still maintaining their tax-exempt status. However, it is all too common to hear a sermon in a UUA congregation which is critical of tax cuts (among other things political), and no one seems to complain about it then.
