The American people are clear: They don’t want to see their houses of worship politicized – polls on this issue aren’t even close. The vast majority of U.S. faith leaders agree.

FRC Action, the political arm of the Family Research Council, has been touring the country in "values" buses, trying to motivate voters to support embattled GOP candidates. Many tour stops have been in churches - which, under the provisions of the Johnson Amendment, can’t endorse or oppose political candidates.

Repeal of the Johnson Amendment would threaten the integrity and independence of all charitable nonprofits, whether they are secular or religious.
