The Johnson Amendment? Please Consider These Facts, Mr. President.

President Trump, I read in your remarks from the Prayer Breakfast on February 2, 2017 that you plan to “get rid of, and totally destroy, the Johnson Amendment and allow our representatives of faith to speak freely and without fear of retribution.”

 In my previous note to you regarding campaign finance, I sort of breezed by the Johnson Amendment. I did that because it seemed clear to me from other remarks you made that repealing the Amendment, thus allowing more money into politics, would be anathema to our shared goal of getting money out of politics and thus draining the swamp. I see now my mistake. You are focusing on the prohibition against clergy making political statements from the pulpit. And I can see your point, sort of. But there’s more to this issue than you may be aware....
