Trump renews promise to roll back law limiting political activity by churches

President Donald Trump used his address to the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday to renew his campaign promise to undo the law that bars leaders of some tax-exempt organizations from endorsing political candidates under threat of losing that status.

During an at-times meandering speech at the annual event, Trump said he would "totally destroy" the Johnson Amendment, a portion of the tax code in place since 1954, that restricts political activity by tax-exempt churches. He said rolling back the rule would "allow our representatives of faith to speak freely and without fear of retribution."

LOL, from the article:
"Lest we forget: Our freedom comes from the Constitution only. It's the document President Trump swore (ironically, on two Bibles!) to uphold. But Trump clearly has no intention of doing so, as he said on Thursday:"

and what does the constitution say about where those rights are coming from?

Personally I am all for limiting the free speach of organizations whether they are Churches or Corporations. In the article Trump has made it all clear that his administration will be free to discuss their religious belief. This should apply to any organization, but maybe that organization shouldn't be free to sponsor a political action or party maybe free speech should be limited to those that can actually speak and think?

To be honest, only natural persons have rights from God. But, until the artificial "persons" run by the enemies of America and humanity are muzzled, this move is fine by me.

As a Swede, why do you know more about American ideals than the typical American? That's surely not a slight against you...it's a statement of how pathetic most Americans really are.

that would be ideal. but skype non-profits have been the only ones allowed to cross the line. this act would allow everyone to cross same line - destroying their monopoly. that monopoly is a HUGE battering ram with dozens (hundreds?) of orgs crossing the line with impunity
