I agree in principal with this, but I don't think I could support it. I think that the Constitution exists to tell the government what it cannot do, not to tell citizens what they cannot do. I would second this.
With the added proviso that tax-exempt religious organizations should not be jumping into the political fray so overtly. Just sets them up for legal issues down the road.

I would second this.How would an amendment that restricts the power of government violate the principle that a constitution is designed to restrict the power of government?

Gay marriage is not a partisan political issue--even if the majority of Democrats support it and the majority of Republicans are opposed to it. Churches are perfectly within their rights to speak out on it.

This statement directly conflicts with your tagline. Which is it? Freedom, or legal trouble for expressing your opinion>
