Finally, a President That Respects Free Speech at the Pulpit – Albany Times Union (blog)

I was so pleased to see President Trump sign the Executive Order promoting Free Speech and Religious Liberty on the National Day of Prayer this year. What a drastic and welcome change from the Obama Administration.

This new Executive Order order effectively protects the pulpits voices on the legislative and political issues our nation and world are facing. Previously, during the Obama Administration, we saw regular hostile targeting of non-profit organizations that opposed its specific agenda. After all, who can forget the Obama Administration going after The Little Sisters of the Poor for opposing abortion?

During Obamas presidency, numerous faith based or conservative based 501-C3s were bullied, harassed and had exemption statuses purposely withheld by the IRS. Not to mention the regular yearly letter issued by the IRS, threatening houses of worship with being sued, fined and retaliated against if they dare participate in any political rhetoric.

Thank God, our First Amendment Rights have been fully restored by President Trump. No longer will pastors, ministers, priests, rabbis, or faith based organizations be constrained by government overreach and intrusion- just as it should have been all along, as written in the Bill of Rights.

Faith based churches, synagogues and organizations have their liberties restored and can now freely talk about everything going on in culture, and how it relates to their specific beliefs.

This new Executive Order prohibits government from policing the pulpit or public officials from demanding copies of sermons from pastors.

Its wonderful that on the National Day of Prayer 2017, Americas pulpits are once again fully protected and free to speak!
