GOP Congressman Seeks to 'Restore Free Speech' in Churches

(CNSNews.com) -
A U.S. House Republican wants religious leaders to be able to use
their pulpits to endorse political candidates and he has introduced
legislation that would do just that through a change in the tax code.
Church leaders, in order to protect their tax-exempt status, are
currently prohibited by law from taking sides in a political debate.
But North Carolina Republican Rep. Walter Jones' bill - the Houses of
Worship Free Speech Restoration Act of 2005 -- would change the
Internal Revenue Service code.
Similar legislation may be sponsored in the U.S. Senate by Kansas
Republican Sen. Sam Brownback.
