Broadcasters Battle Johnson Amendment For Church Freedom

The National Religious Broadcasters are taking on the Johnson Amendment! This 1954 rule, introduced by Lyndon B. Johnson, keeps churches from endorsing political candidates. They argue it squashes their freedom to speak out without losing tax-exempt status. Now, they want to change the game and let churches share their views from the pulpit without fear!
