Oh Yeah - They are "Religious" so they should STFU

The problem is not when a member of a church makes their political opinion
known, or even works to elect any politician. It comes when that person uses
the power and/or facilities of the church to do such political work. A
preacher/parson/vicar/rabbi/priest/etc. should never promote any political
position as a part of a church/synagog activity. Nor should a lay person use
the power or facilities of such church/synagog for such purpose.

And You Will Be The Judge Of All That ? ? ?

DANG SO THEY HAVE NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH [.]
AND THEY DO NOT HAVE POLITICAL FREEDOM [.]
BECAUSE THEY ARE RELIGIOUS PEOPLE-OF-FAITH.

Until the US Government Passed the Income Tax Laws
and Created the Charitable Income Tax Exemption :
There Was True Freedom of Speech and True Separation
of Church and State. Since Then - The US Government
has been Dictating to Churches and Ministers :
What They Can and Can Not Do as a Church.
THAT AIN'T SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.

- As individuals, they have the same right to voice an
- opinion or vote for whomever they wish, as long as
- they are not trying to do so as a representative of the
- church/synagog.

Last Time I looked around a Minister of God was a
Minister of God 24/7 : On Call and Duty Every Hour
of Every Day.

-*This is much like the law that prohibits government
- employees from promoting any candidate (including
- those in the armed services).

It may be "BAD's Law" {Bad Law} But It Ain't Federal Law
to Limit the Freedom of Speech of Church Leaders and
Members.

Minister are Ministers -and- Federal Employees are Federal Employees.
-ps- there is a difference.

Ministers are Private Citizens and 'may' get in your face.
-IF- You Let Them.

Federal Employees are Agents of the US Government and
"CAN" Get In Your Face -cause- They Have The Power of
The US Government Behind Them.

yes - i said that {freedom of speech} ~ RHF
