Hard to maintain tax-exempt status when your "religion" has you supporting candidates by name during your sermon......

He probably also owns land in Peotone. http://www.wgntv.com/news/wgntv-jesse-jackson-jr-jacksons-peotone-problem-20120712,0,6100653.story

Rev TELL JR we would luv a represenative in the peoples house we are not kicking him when he is down we have been extremely patient with a out sourced Congressman, what has he done or can do to keep HOWE Tinley Park open for the BI POLAR constituents he has abandoned here?
Come back and put yer pathetic backside in TINLEY or just quit!

Exactly what important issues have not been addressed in district 2nd while Jesse Jr has been absent?? No work is being done in congress at all the congress is deadlocked and ineffective! Give him a break! How about praising him for securing the 3rd airport deal and guaranteeing jobs and a boost for the economy in which the 2nd district resides if you want to angry be angry at Gov Quinn who has not signed the deal to start construction!

This pastor has violated his 501(c)3 tax-exempt status. Pastor Singleton has campaigned for Jesse Jackson Jr. from his pulpit at a open Sunday Service this last Sunday October 28, 2012. This part of Singleton's sermon is a clear violation of the law:

The Restriction of Political Campaign Intervention by Section 501(c)(3) Tax-Exempt Organizations
Under the Internal Revenue Code, all section 501(c)(3) organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office. Contributions to political campaign funds or public statements of position (verbal or written) made on behalf of the organization in favor of or in opposition to any candidate for public office clearly violate the prohibition against political campaign activity. Violating this prohibition may result in denial or revocation of tax-exempt status and the imposition of certain excise taxes.

Certain activities or expenditures may not be prohibited depending on the facts and circumstances. For example, certain voter education activities (including presenting public forums and publishing voter education guides) conducted in a non-partisan manner do not constitute prohibited political campaign activity. In addition, other activities intended to encourage people to participate in the electoral process, such as voter registration and get-out-the-vote drives, would not be prohibited political campaign activity if conducted in a non-partisan manner.

On the other hand, voter education or registration activities with evidence of bias that (a) would favor one candidate over another; (b) oppose a candidate in some manner; or (c) have the effect of favoring a candidate or group of candidates, will constitute prohibited participation or intervention.
The Internal Revenue Service provides resources to exempt organizations and the public to help them understand the prohibition. As part of its examination program, the IRS also monitors whether organizations are complying with the prohibition.

So Marcus it would be great if all of the 2nd DIST Bi-Polar and other mental health patients could go to a state of the art hospital like MAYO, is that why u are running to get HEALTH CARE at MAYO?
That is why we have a third rate and fourth world economy here no one running for public office can think out of the box due to toxic poisoning, pollution what else besides drugs can it be?
If the deluge that hit the East Coast does anything it will force the POL'S to debate ENERGY,CLIMATE CHANGE and REAL JOBS, JR and SR extortion or a job for life for both at a 3rd Airport is as dead as his chance to be Sen Jr, let's abandon the pipe dream and use the land they bought for building turbines- SOLAR panels and other forms of GREEN ENERGY and put more turbines up and create new delivery systems to create new kinds of manfg in the rust belt CHI HTS -KANKA-JOLIET and everything in between, the NUKE industry with what it means to us will or should be under scrutiny sooner than later!

i hope u don't think building a mental facility in Peotone is the answer,
right Shapearl the TPARTY CONGRESS should all be in MAYO, but what has JR DONE since he went to congress decades ago and especially since he moved out of harm's way (2nd Dist) and became a DC HOMEOWNER on top of that his wife is a ALDER PERSON representing the south side of CHGO from GEORGE TOWN if u are a spokesman u and JR owe us a apology in the pvt sector he would be out off work 15 years ago he is not only flawed but has constantly misrepresented himself because he could not have been elected on the square back in the day it took a massive conspiracy and outing 2 previous congressmen and a very able Stae rep who would have made a difference Alice Palmer.
The misrepresentation and misinformation that comes from the Jackson's are insulting to everyone including their uninformed supporters, they are convinced the 2nd Dist is far to gone and worn down by bangers and stupid people who could care less if a flawed hypocrites med's are working!

Tell everyone to vote for me...I am the only hope in this race for the people to have a "direct" voice at the table of the powerful! This should be a landslide our way but the voters of the 2nd have got to see the forest not just a tree or two. The big picture is getting a regular man in the Congress NOW!

VOTE FOR MARCUS LEWIS FOR CONGRESS LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT BECAUSE IT DOES...ALL OF US!

BTW, CHECK OUT MY THEME SONG TO HELP MOTIVATE US ON MY CAMPAIGN WEBSITE: www.marcuslewisforcongress2012.org

"IT'S TIME" by the Winans

u would be a potted plant in a TPARTY CONGRESS, MEL was almost transparent but did try to give back to the district, GUS was doomed because he did not follow the ZIONIST-Rothschild BOOK ON LOOTING, both WERE VICTIMS IN THE LONG RUN, Mel was as much a Rhodes scholar as JR is a Chicagoan,
MEL was set up to fail by the dark side, he deserved what he got in reality for conspiring with MANNY to reinvent himself but still was a credit to the district in comparison to the coward and imitation human!

Pastor Singelton, The Congressman only contacted you because you have a large congragation in the 2nd district. Let's be honest with ourselves! He wants their votes!

nothing will happen
dems run this sorry state we live in
illinois is a land of fools

There will be a cash bar.
All Patch Reader are invited.

Early voting- election day finally here. And the 2nd District stands without representation. The ballot holds Jackson's name on it. What is the voter doing with this situation?
Many I have spoken with said votes went to either Independent or Republican candidates. Democrat candidate probably will lose.
It will be a relief to let go of any hopes that Jackson will come forward and speak to voters. Residents will go on and accept an alternative and new Senator.

My campaign is piercing through decades of no action for this district that have stunted the forward progress for the residents of the former district borders.

Just look at the Villages of Harvey, Dixmoor, Phoenix, Robbins, Riverdale to name just a few.

The Chicago Southeast-side is left abandon and left to fend for itself which is why I am running to bring this Jackson-style of governing to a screeching halt!

So I know the newly added counties of Will & Kankakee will feel relief with Marcus Lewis at the helm not only will receive the Love, Care, Concern & Resources they are due but the entire district!

I hope the residents and voters of the entire district will come to believe that the era of Jesse Jackson Jr. will come to an end on Nov. 6th, 2012 because they voted for Marcus Lewis in mass. I am here to help and will put all of my efforts with the backing of the U.S. Government behind rebuilding the areas hardest hit first because the need is so great. But every area will get the focused attention they deserve.

So stand with me now 2nd District. We must roll up our sleeves and sit down together and get to work and put in action plans that you will see positive steps that we mean business on picking up ourselves and getting back our identity. We matter and I am going to show the state and country that the 2nd District is a player in the larger scheme of things positive.

JESSE JACKSON JR. IS GOING TO JAIL!!! DON'T VOTE FOR HIM AND EMBARRASS THIS DISTRICT THAT IS DESPERATE FOR HELP!!!

THIS IS NOT A GAME FOLKS! THIS IS REAL LIFE AND THE LIVES OF OUR RESIDENTS ARE IN THE BALANCE!

IT IS NOT ABOUT ONE MAN AND HIS CRIMES, IT IS ABOUT THOSE THAT ARE PRAYING FOR SOMEONE TO CARE TO SHED SOME LIGHT ON THEM AND BRING THE NEEDED RESOURCES TO AID AND GET THEM BACK TO PRODUCTIVITY! DON'T GO MAD AND EMBARRASS THIS DISTRICT BY REELECTING JESSE JACKSON JR., A CROOK, WHO IS GOING TO PRISON!!!

How dare you Marcus Lewis....did you get permission to tape that sermon? You sit in the midst of the worship service with your wife who has joined the church and smile while you are plotting to destroy...is that how you work? Funny how the part of the sermon you did not share was about snakes.....be blessed...will you be joining us on Sunday?

Here is the Catholic Bishops are doing the same thing as Paster Singleton. So if you don't believe it is wide spread problem of 501(c)3 violations is being filed against them as well.

I AM THE ALTERNATIVE.

This is why Peotone will never be built. Gary Airport has 2 flights a week and is locked up the rest of the time. Poor use of taxpayer funds.

http://www.nbcchicago.com/investigations/unit-5-chicago-plan-truth-gary-chicago-airport-taxpayer-subsidy-175902941.html

Wait till the Insurance goes up to pay for Sandy and Hammond and the City Chgo raises the fees for water which can become as expensive as Gas some day. BY then someone who is connected may come up with a Peotone solution that actually makes economic sense,
Gary could be a winner and u would think when the runways are extended and more local flights are added when the economy gets humming, the draw back on the Lake Cal airport and Peotone was Daley and Madigoon did not control the contracts franchises and patronage but on Gary they knew it was not going to threaten their deep pockets,
Quinn gave JJJ and Sr hope and a crumb because he likes to tweak Madiggon on Peotone, MADIGOON hates Quinn and everyone else but Lisa and the Lipinski's.

Juvenal stop the theatrics and hypocrisy it is about the Black guy in the WH not the one in Mayo the centuries old generation of pedophiles are glossed over as the plight of the murdered Maryknoll nuns and Archbishop Romero murdered by TWIT ROBME'S INVESTORS, millions of Catholics in China being disenfranchised first born GIRLS in CHINA being murdered on a massive scale of infanticide the represenative of the centuries old Roman Catholic Pope's Bishops are imprisoned REPLACED by the Red Army -LDS magic underwear version a decadent Vampire Capitalist version out of the old Portuguese colony of Macau you pious hypocrites when the ACA PASSED ONE OF THE SEXUAL PERVERT LEADERS of the CHRISTIAN CHARLATANS held his nose and said " we are all Catholics now" I joined Catholics for choice that day you sold your immortal soul to the brother of JC Lucifer which is in LDS dogma.is himself, TWIT ROBME.
YOU hypocrites do not have ROMNESIA you repeat and demonstrate it by the minute despite the benefits of centuries of moral teachings and philosophy!

No, I am not Marcus Lewis's campaign manager. Marcus Lewis asked for my help on Facebook. We haven't met. No one pays me for any of my posts on this site, or Facebook, etc. In one telephone discussion, we had a heated discussion and I stopped Marcus to ask him what he was paying me. He stopped and said, "OK, nothing." And I said, "so don't tell me what to do." Thanks for asking, it always comes up. Joe Lake, Chicago

THIS IS IT FOLKS!

IF WE CONTROL NOTHING OF POWER TO BRING THE THINGS WE NEED AMD THE REPS BEFORE NEVER BROUGHT THEM THEN WHEN AND HOW DO WE GET ACCESS TO THEM? BY VOTING FOR MARCUS LEWIS WITHOUT THINKING ON NOV.6TH CAUSE OUR FUTURES DEPEND ON THIS ELECTION HERE IN THE 2ND DISTRICT.

BE BIGGER THAN WE ARE.

IT ISN'T ABOUT ME. IT'S ALL ABOUT "WE"!

PEOPLE...NOW IS THE TIME!

Place Marcus Lewis as a voice in Washington’s corridors of power IF YOU WANT THE THINGS WE DESPERATELY NEED!

THIS IS OUR MOMENT! LET GO OF THE DUMB STUFF!

VOTE AS A UNITED BLOCK FOR MARCUS LEWIS ON NOV. 6TH

Now Lord God, I give this campaign to you. Thank you for this opportunity you have permitted and I ask that as I Bless Your Holy Name and I Lift You Up Above The Earth, Draw All Voters unto me so I may help someone.

In Jesus' Name.

on second thought my first impression was right there are too many fools now in Congress who are CORRUPT and or totally unequipped to figure out what is at stake as the if praise the Lord while killing his creation was going to work,
I was wrong to hold my my nose and vote for this fool! this is all they know the last refuge of scoundrels like Jr and wannabe's--abortion-praise god, guns and gays.
All of the real problems like Pollution drought, lower lakes levels, high cost of WATER, farm bill for food and ethanol and on and on, famine, drought,climate change, Marcus and any friggin minister are the last thing we need,
More atheists less praise the lord would work because they would read more than mythology.
Unfortunately the GOP CANDIDATE WOULD BE A BIGGER DISASTER and become a TPARTY surrogate of the poisoners, polluters looters, it is obvious the 2nd Dist will never be much more than a miniature third world economy with these backward wannabe's.
