Sources: The Associated Press story does not seem to be available online, but this Reuters article says the IRS is investigating 60 non-profits for violating tax-exempt rules. One third of those are churches. The Pew Research Center for the People and the Press has its survey of voters' choices after the election. The Los Angeles Times articles about the LA County seal and California's Spanish missions are no longer available online. The Washington Times reports that changing the seal cost $700,000, and the Chicago Tribune has an article (available from the Kansas City Star) about restoring the missions.
