To the Editor:
If marriage is a religious institution--as the "Yes on Eight" campaign asserts--then the State has no business regulating it. If it is a political issue, then the backers of "Yes on Eight" have no claim to tax-exempt status. For seven years, the IRS has been just one more lever that the Republican party used to enforce its will. The people have called for change. Revoking tax-exempt status for any organization meddling in politics would be a good place to start.
