MEDIA ADVISORY, June 24 /Christian Newswire/ -- The New York Times has broken the story that Bill Keller, founder of Liveprayer.com with over 2.4 million subscribers to his Daily Devotional and host of the Liveprayer TV program, is under investigation for possibly violating his tax exempt status in speaking out last year against former Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney's Mormon beliefs. Keller, who was the first Christian leader to speak out nationally against Romney's beliefs coined the now infamous phrase, "A vote for Romney is a vote for Satan."

Keller maintains that he has done nothing to violate his tax exemption status and says his attorneys are confident the ministry will be cleared of any wrongdoing. Keller stated, "I have every right to educate people on spiritual matters and deal with the pressing spiritual issues of our day, even those that transcend into the political arena. Unlike many Christian leaders, I have never, or ever will endorse any candidate for public office and have never told people who to or not to vote for." He has recently been in the national news making the case that the Democratic nominee for President, Senator Barack Obama is not a Christian.

Challenging the I.R.S.
By Laurie Goodstein

Bill Keller, an evangelist based in Florida, runs “Liveprayer.com,â€

This is rather ludicrous. If this minister is investigated for "political meddling" why are not all HISPANIC advocacy groups, pro-illegal alien groups, and ALL religious groups that have 'charitable' intentions investigated for political meddling and subversion of our laws for advocating illegal immigration???

What about Barak Obamas church in Chicago? What about Reverand Jesse Jackson, Reverand Al Sharpton? Why is it that it seems (to me, maybe others?) that the only churches and/or religious leaders who are threatened ever by the IRS are the "Anglo" ones who speak out against the status quo, or against what is politically correct?

I am anxious to see this as this man was speaking on his convictions, not his political beliefs. I hope others will join him and challenge the IRS, we all know they are corrupt anyways, and would love to see the light shone on them.

He has recently been in the national news making the case that the Democratic nominee for President, Senator Barack Obama is not a Christian.

Thats why he is being investigated. He spoke the truth. IMO, OBAMA IS A FULL FLEDGED MUSLIM.

I went to the link for his site. I watched his video talking about Obama, it was very well spoken and to be honest, very truthful. He spelled it out about Obama's position on his supposed Christian beliefs and what the truth is.

We need more outspoken Christian leaders in this nation such as himself. In that again I ask, why has not Obama's church been investigated by the IRS, among so many other minority leaders churches, who have spoken out in politics.
