tax exempt organizations

Mr. Haggard resigned as president of the 30-million-member National Association of Evangelicals in November 2006 and was removed as senior pastor of the New Life megachurch after a former male prostitute said that he had had a three-year sexual relationship with Mr. Haggard and had helped him obtain methamphetamines.

In the wake of a scandal involving its founding pastor, the Rev. Ted Haggard, the New Life Church in Colorado Springs has been forced to lay off 44 of its 350 workers to offset a sharp drop in donations.

Apparently, their revenue for 2006 was approximately almost $16 million, WHICH WAS FEDERALLY TAX EXEMPT, and at least some of which went to fincancing their political agenda. We need to audit these exempt organizations.
