Or, if you would like to send the petition directly to your own Senators and Congressman, instead of all of them, then you could go to the ACLJ's home page. The petition is located on the top of their home page, along with a little box for you to supply your zip code in. Again, the ACLJ is not asking for donations to sign the petition. The link to the ACLJ's website is below:

Lyndon B. Johnson also wrote the law that orignially made Churches file for tax-exempt status in the first place. He did it under the guise of protecting Churches. Of course he lying bigoted bastard knew all along he wanted this 'protection' for Churches so he could shut Churches us. Prior to that, Churches were just assumed to be exempt without filing anything. Technically they still are, but most Churches and even tax experts don't realize that, so almost all churches fill for tax-exempt status which puts them under the thumb of government.

"efforts ... to stop our Priests, Pastors, Ministers and others from silencing our churches...."

Yes, indeed, we must stop the clergy from silencing the church....

The solution seems obvious to me. Churches should stop using the tax exempt status and then begin to speak freely and often from the pulpit about the issues of the day. With the threat removed they will be free to speak.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech,"

It isn't difficult to recognize the government has trashed the Constitution and has become a huge public burden.
