Christian Lawmakers Working to Keep Free Speech, Charitable Contributions in Tax Plan
(Worthy News) – In a victory for religious liberty advocates, the House voted to include a repeal of the Johnson Amendment in their tax cut bill that passed the House Thursday.
Congressman Jody Hice, R – Georgia, co sponsor of the Free Speech Fairness Act, tells CBN News when he was a Baptist pastor he personally faced intimidation from the IRS and it’s time to “liberate churches.”
“This is a major step for religious liberty,” says Hice. “I have personally been the recipient of the other side of this Johnson Amendment and faced the intimidation and the fear and I know hundreds and hundreds of other pastors have as well. So it’s time that we get this right and we liberate churches and other non-profit leaders to be able to speak without fear of their government.” [ Source: CBN News (Read More…) ]
