"RESTORE POLITICAL FREE-SPEECH TO CHURCHES"
2014-02-10

         The text presents an approach to restoring the right of free political speech to the nation's churches. Unfettered political speech was practiced from the pulpit for hundreds of years until 1954 when it was limited by an IRS Code change. The change (called the "Johnson Amendment") prohibits church involvement in what the government calls "political campaign intervention." An example of "intervention" would be supporting or opposing candidates for public office. Arizona Gun Talk holds that there's no bright line between politics and morality and that Congress was wrong to establish one.
