Tell the IRS to enforce the Johnson Amendment
Enforce the Johnson Amendment of the IRS Code. If our campaign contributions are not tax exempt, then churches should not be allowed to endorse political candidates and enjoy tax exempt status.
Why is this important?
On Sunday, October 7, one thousand pastors across the nation are planning on giving political "recommendations" to their congregations of whom to vote for this November. The conservative Christian group Alliance Defending Freedom has formed what they are calling "Pulpit Freedom Sunday" in order to try and get the IRS to overturn the Johnson Amendment (that's the rule that takes away the tax exempt status of any church or charitable organization which endorses a political candidate). Tell the IRS to enforce this Amendment by forcing these churches to pay taxes on their income.
