In May of 2012, Rev. Billy Graham urged North Carolina voters to support an amendment to the state constitution banning gay marriage. He took out full-page ads in 14 North Carolina newspapers the weekend before the vote. A few months later, Samaritans Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Assoc. received audit notices from the IRS. No doubt they were directly, deliberately targeted because of their public support for traditional marriage. They then tried to open up a North Carolina Corporation (after moving from Minnesota) and applied for tax-exempt status. He waited 14 months, Graham says that he had a total of 9 follow-ups asking if the IRS needed more information because the application was taking so long.

Franklin tells Greta that after news came out that he believed the Billy Graham Assoc. was targeted by the IRS deliberately, a number of other Christian groups came forward to say they were also audited.

He says that the IRS agent that paid them a visit mentioned Graham's support for the North Carolina marriage amendment. Video from Fox News Greta
