Anonymous to go after Scientology's tax status?

Last night I got an e-mail from a member of "Anonymous" -- it was an anonymous press release, with a dateline that read "LOCATION UNSPECIFIED":

Anonymous today announced a campaign to launch government inquiries into the Church of Scientology's status as a tax exempt organization. Beginning on February 26th and continuing on Tuesdays thereafter, Anonymous plans to coordinate phone calls and letter writing activities directed at their Federal legislators. Similar efforts are planned around the world.

The release identified an Anonymous spokesperson:

"Since 1993, the Church of Scientology has enjoyed favored religious status in violation of the First Amendment. Anonymous aims to draw attention to this violation of our Bill of Rights, and to initiate congressional hearings in to their validity," said David Mudkip, an American member of Anonymous.

There's a wiki page to go along with the announcement.  The group is asking interested parties to write and call their congressional representatives. 

Scientology's tax-exempt status is one of its most valuable assets.  It is unlikely, therefore, that the church will endorse this particular campaign.
