"In 1954, Congress approved an amendment by Sen. Lyndon Johnson to prohibit 501(c)(3) organizations, which includes charities and churches, from engaging in any political campaign activity. To the extent Congress has revisited the ban over the years, it has in fact strengthened the ban. The most recent change came in 1987 when Congress amended the language to clarify that the prohibition also applies to statements opposing candidates."


Liberals and libertarians have declared the First Amendment null and void because they have asumed unconstitutional authority to regulate churches, i.e., prohibit the free exercise of religion because libs cannot afford to risk being critcized from the pulpit.
