Texas attempts to revoke Scientology's tax exempt status
REPUBLICAN PARTY CONVENTION RESOLUTION TO REVOKE SCIENTOLOGY'S TAX EXEMPT STATUS PASSED
On March 29th, a Houston Anon made history. This brave Anon, a Galveston county delegate to the RNC, braved a Republican National Convention policy meeting and presented a proposal to get the Church of Scientology's status as a religion revoked. This would potentially mean stripping the tax exemption as well. This will need to work it's way up the ladder and if it makes it, it will mean that part of the Republican party's platform will be stripping Scientology of its religious status.
Please contact your Texas Congressional Representatives to let them know about this resolution and to ask for their support in getting it passed. Every call, email, and letter counts!
The Resolution
Initiative for Texas Resolution Calling for the revocation of the Church of Scientology's status as a Legitimate religion in the sate of Texas.
Be it resolved that the Church of Scientology in the state of Texas no longer be recognized as an official religion, thus revoking its religious tax exempt status in the state of Texas.
In order to preserve religious tax exempt status in the state of Texas an organization must meet objectives in order to qualify. They are listed in the following statements:
1.) The organization must have an official statement of Faith. The church of Scientology has no such statement.
2.) The organization must have some form of routine worship service. The church of Scientology has no such routine.
3.) Church services must be open and freely available to the public. The church of Scientology requires its members to pay an amount equal to or greater than 15,000 U S dollars and to be subjugated to months of mind altering auditing sessions in order for a member to obtain the information regarding the teachings of Scientology. Members who complete these courses are forced to sign agreements not to inform either unpaid/unaudited members or the general public of the teachings of Scientology.
Be it resolved that the church of Scientology in the state of Texas be officially regarded as a business and not as a religion.
Resolution adopted this twenty-ninth day of March, 2008, at the Precinct Convention of Precinct Number 341, and/or senatorial district 11 Convention, Galveston County, Texas of the Republican Party of Texas.
