Good. Demo-rat pastors never paid attention to it anyway

The Johnson Amendment = unConstitutional.

I don’t give up my other rights when I’m practicing my right to freedom of religion.

"I think we're going to see the economic engine of America boom if we're able to get this over the finish line,"

OK, stupid question time.
Since it's been so long since there actually WAS a budget, do spending bills go through the whole have a matching Senate bill, or reconcile the two thing?

If so, good luck getting this, or anything that looks like this, through the Senate. The finish line may be further than he thinks.

“I'm excited about the Johnson Amendment being put in there that will address the rights of churches and nonprofits to be able to speak without losing their tax exempt status,”

Just what we need, they will be able to speak freely. I do seem to remember something about that in the 1st Amendment... Protected by the 2nd Amendment.....

That’s the House, it would have to make it thru the alt-left Republican Senate.

I believe this is a big deal. This is the conservatives equivalent of “community organizers” and activists. The lefts activists networks have have nowhere near these numbers.

If a church uses donations from its congregation to contribute in some way to a campaign, those donations should be taxed in the same way any other campaign contributions are taxed. But that aside, the Johnson amendment went way beyond that. It threatened churches from completely losing their tax exempt status if they engaged in any sort of political action, even if they didn’t spend a dime to pursue their ends. Total government overreach. And of course, for the most part, the rules were only applied to conservatives.

That should be something entirely separate.

I support something like that, but it should be a separate bill because it’s a separate issue. I hate how they attach riders and whatever else to bills that have nothing to do with the original bill.

Where can I find voting rules and the like? Just what are their procedures?

The swamp monsters are scared to have a law that says churches can continue to exibit their God given right to speak their mind and use their 1st amendment rights.

This is how the FIRST real gun shooting cannon firing revolution started.

Let us hope this will help wake the dead beat people in this Nation up that are not paying attention and help us 3% who are listening so that we can take back this country

PDJT promised to end the Johnson Amendment, and it appears he’s keeping still another promise. WINNING!! (Not tired yet.)

Why wasn’t this repealed on day one of this administration?

It would have required a single, simple sentence and no expenditure.
