<p>This so-called ban is a direct violation of the First Amendment.
The First Amendment states, “Congress shall make no law. . . .” In
1954, Congress made a law prohibiting churches from speaking out
on political issues and endorsing candidates. The logic is simple.
Since Congress passed such a law, then Congress violated the
Constitution. This makes the law null and void.</p>
<p>If you are a pastor who believes in the freedoms outlined in the
First Amendment and want to challenge these leftist organizations
and the IRS, then I have a deal for you. The Alliance Defending
Freedom, a Christian legal advocacy group, will defend you.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“In response to more than 50 years of
threats and intimidation by activist groups wielding the Johnson
Amendment as a sword against the Church, ADF began the Pulpit
Initiative in 2008. The goal of the Pulpit Initiative is simple:
have the Johnson Amendment declared unconstitutional — and once
and for all remove the ability of the IRS to censor what a pastor
says from the pulpit.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">“ADF is actively seeking to represent
churches or pastors who are under investigation by the IRS for
violating the Johnson Amendment by preaching biblical Truth in a
way that expresses support for — or opposition to — political
candidates. ADF represents all of its clients free of charge.”</p>
<p>Don’t be bullied. It’s time to take a stand for Jesus Christ.
