President Trump has a message to all Christians in America, he has our back, and will protect our first Amendment rights from the liberal agenda trying to stop churches from engaging in political activity.

He's the President that loves America we have been looking for since Ronald Reagan.
Love how he says "we" and not "I".
Enjoy!
Black churches have been engaging in political activity on behalf of the democrats for years
#MAGA
I think not only Black Churches, but all churches have a right to engage in political speech.
How can the free speech of Churches be relegated to a taxation issue when the government has never been allowed to condition any government-recognized status (such as tax-exempt status) on the surrender of a constitutionally protected freedom?
That’s why the IRS rule against free speech for Churches should be struck down as unconstitutional.
Than-you and God Bless.
You’re welcome.
B-R-A-V-O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Corrupt Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers don’t include the word religion or church.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States."—Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"That’s why the IRS rule against free speech for Churches should be struck down as unconstitutional."
The unconstitutional IRS should be struck down with its unconstitutional rules imo.
More specifically, the Founding States had made the first numbered clauses in the Constitution, Sections 1-3 of Article I, evidently a good place to hide these clauses from Congress (sarc), to clarify that all federal legislative powers are vested in the elected members of Congress, not in the executive or judicial branches, or worse yet, not in non-elected bureaucrats who run federal agencies like the EPA, IRS, etc..
In other words, Congress has a constitutional “monopoly” on federal legislative powers whether it wants it or not.
The problem is that the corrupt, post-17th Amendment (17A) ratification Congress is letting faceless bureaucrats get away with doing Congress’s dirty work for it. Congress lets this happen by allowing bureaucrats to steal 10th Amendment-protected state powers and then use those stolen powers to oppress the states and their citizens.
And by letting third-party bureaucrats get away with interfering in the affairs of the sovereign states, federal lawmakers are able to protect their voting records.
And by protecting their voting records, career lawmakers are able to fool 17A-enabled voters, voters who have probably never been taught about the fed’s constitutionally limited powers, into reelecting these crooks.
Think about it. The Senate wrongly does the following things imo, probably on a regulate basis.
The Senate helps the likewise corrupt House pass unconstitutional appropriations bills, bills that not only steal state powers but also steal state revenues uniquely associated with those powers. (State revenues are stolen by means of unconstitutional federal taxes (imo) according to the Gibbons v. Ogden excerpt above.)
"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]." —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Tax Court Judges
The post-17A ratification Senate is the most unconstitutionally powerful office in the land imo.
Drain the swamp sewer! Drain the sewer!
Since corrupt Congress is the biggest part of the sewer (imo) that Trump wants to drain, it is actually up to patriots to drain the sewer in the 2018 elections, patriots supporting Trump by electing as many new members of Congress as they can who will support Trump.
In the meanwhile, patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting candidates on the primary ballots.
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Patriots also need to make sure that candidates are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed above.
Also, unlike incumbent members of Congress who wrongly remained silent while misguided state officials abridged the constitutionally enumerated rights of citizens during the lawless Obama Administration, patriots need to make sure that candidates on the 2018 primary ballots commit to the following.
Candidates need to commit to making and enforcing 14th Amendment-related laws to prosecute misguided state officials who use state powers to abridge constitutionally enumerated protections, 1st Amendment-protected religious expression and free speech for example, such actions prohibited by Section 1 of the 14th Amendment.
”14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
Again, drain the sewer! Drain the sewer!
Outstanding reply and I agree 100% of everything you said!
Great points about vetting candidates. However, the average voter does not know or even understand Supreme Court cases like an Attorney.
These questions can be effective if the voting public is educated in layman terms. That way it can reach most voters that would understand it. We have to figure out a better way to make the case. Perhaps sell it as freedom vs. tyranny? Keep it simple in other words.
