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.
