In reply to Kim.

“Mention Trump, Hollywood, and Scientology in the same paragraph, and it could leave some who support Trump feeling attacked. ”

Could public awareness of a single sentence disclosing Trump’s own choice to have been present at the Hollywood Scientology Celebrity Centre “Fourth of July celebration” really “leave some who support Trump feeling attacked”? (Seems out of character, I would think)

In reply to exccla. Religious groups can easily be manipulated by politicians. Religious groups and their members really need to have their guard up and not be taken in by political sales pitches, empty promises, and appeals to address their group's hot button issues.

In reply to sidney18511. Wrong again sidney, IRS regs are NOT laws. If you bother to read the ACTUAL Fed LAW, it states NOTHING about churches not being allowed to engage in politics. I have a feeling that you are not from the US or you would know about the 1st Amend and the explicit bar on congress from writing a law stating such.

In reply to Aquamarine. Correct Aqua. In 2012 Eric Holder and the ACLU held HUGE seminars for Black Pastor's on how to stump for Obama from the pulpit without triggering IRS violations. EXACT wording to use or not use, etc.

I was in the SO in 2011, and we would have had to CSW to vote IIRC. Maybe it’s different for people at Pac Base. I was at Bridge. I think the majority of us did not bother voting. I don’t recall having been briefed or encouraged to vote one way or the other between Obama/Romney. Again, mileage at Pac may vary.

In reply to Joseph Camerieri. Joseph C, this is exciting! I wish I were in the area, I would definitely go with you. And you're getting sound advice from the people here!

In reply to secretfornow.

Secret, you made me laugh. The reason they made us give standing O’s all the time was to prevent us from sleeping thru the entire event. Up and down, up and down… I know I would have dozed off it had been possible. Most events were 3 – 3 1/2 hours long. For the first 90 minutes I’d be ok. then the booming music and the visuals would – I don’t know – start DOING something to me (mild hypnosis, perhaps?). I recommend these event videos for anyone with sleep apnea or insomnia, seriously.

In reply to Mike Wynski. I posted some info from the IRS website. You are mistaken.
