NEW YORK, N.Y.--Pastors are doing more than preaching about politics.  On Sunday, hundreds of preachers across the country broke the law by endorsing candidates. 

It's part of a movement called Pulpit Freedom Sunday.  The pastors are challenging the IRS over a federal law that's been on the books since 1954. 

It makes it illegal for churches with tax exempt status to endorse or support political candidates.
