Anonymous: Texas WIN Over Scientology

REPUBLICAN PARTY CONVENTION RESOLUTION PASSED MARCH 29, 2008!

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.

---------------------

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.

1. YOU have incorrect information about scientology. If your statement is valid, so is mine.

2. Freedom of religion is NOT the same as freedom from the IRS. You are still free to practice your religion, but its business income must fall under normal business tax laws.

3. Scientology creates its own enemies. "Fair Game," TR-L´s and the countless tales of cruelty from ex-scientologists add fuel to the fire.

4. This isnt promoting hate, its promoting justice. Nice try though.

@jtsmails 1:this information is infact correct for it was on the news here in ohio stateing that CO$ will lose thier Tax Exempt Status in TEXAS because they have failed to prove they are infact a religion.

2: studied interviews have proven that in order for a religion to be a real Religion people do not have to pay or Forced to pay to the teaching of the Beliefs but are ofcourse can pay if they want in DONATIONS.

3:Agree!,they still use the fair game tactic.

4:Agree!,
