I would need to see if they are treated the same as other non-profit or charitable organizations. Planned Parenthood endorses candidates so as long as churches and planned parenthood are treated similarly under tax and election law than I don't have any issues. If they are treated differently then this case has merit.

Also are union dues tax deductable in the states like they are in Canada because if they are then I think the same requirments should apply to them as well. Again no idea if they do or not.

The goal should be to have all organizations that revcieve tax excempt status treated the same when incomes to making politcal spending.
