Churches fear the IRS. They are afraid to speak out about censorship, as per the topic of this post. It might be useful to also contact NRB (National Religious Broadcasters), the world's largest association of Christian Communicators and get them copies of this post.
no one is stopping churches from engaging in any kind of political speech. if a church wants to talk politics, all it has to do is pay taxes like any other enterprise and no one will question it. IRS didnt write these laws, congress did. if you dont like that law let's hear exactly how you think it ought to work. if your point is that IRS targets certain political points of view and not others, and this is part of a general weaponization of federal agencies against certain viewpoints, i would partly agree. while i'm not sure IRS is targeting viewpoints in any significant, systematic way, the FBI and other agencies have become snakepits of apparatchiks pushing all kinds of truth-hating agendas

A $4 TRILLION debt ceiling increase?!
That's what the Speaker's negotiators are going to bring back to us?
Moving the issue of unsustainable debt beyond the presidential election, even though 60% of Americans are with the GOP on it?
No meaningful limits on the IRS.
No release of the Jan 6 tapes.
