President Trump said at the National Prayer Breakfast last week that he would “totally destroy” the Johnson Amendment. As a result of the Johnson Amendment, people that work at nonprofits, charities and houses of worship have major restrictions on their freedom of speech. An individual can express their objection to what they may deem as political speech; that is freedom at its best. Since its passage, the Johnson Amendment has been inconsistently enforced, causing many 501(c)(3) entities to be left in limbo, or even worse, in fear. If you agree with that simple statement, we welcome your support of the Free Speech Fairness Act.
