“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
But the government violates the right to free speech on a weekly basis, just ask your local church.
As author Frank Miniter reveals in Saving the Bill of Rights, the government violates your priest’s, pastor’s, or preacher’s right to free speech every Sunday.
Historically church leaders have spoken their minds to the American public, but today’s church leaders are afraid to speak out against the progressive agenda that dominates our political system.
Why? Because many churches are nonprofit organizations and if your priest, pastor, or preacher talks about politics from the pulpit, the government can punish him by taking away your church’s tax exempt status.
