They can, but the Mormon Church has not shown any division now between their religious activities and their political activities.

Then we should lobby to change that law to have caps in order to even the playing field as the Mormon Church processes billions of dollars.

Do you have easy contact info for the Senators? I'd like to message them and my rep. about this and mention caps.
