Saying goodbye to the Johnson Amendment
For decades, church leaders have been told they can talk about policy and politics from their pews, but if they dare mention candidates' names -- if they dare endorse any particular candidates -- they better watch out: the IRS could strip them of their tax exemption.

Dave Kubal, with Intercessors for America, speaks about his legal fight to overturn the Johnson Amendment.
