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.

Donald Trump and his right-wing evangelical backers don’t want “Christian” voters going to the polls; they want certain types of Christians – far right ones who idolize Trump – marching out to vote.
