(Worthy News) - Not only would houses of worship be able to more actively promote political candidates, but so would non-profit groups under a section inserted into the House tax bill an hour before it was due for a key vote.

The change pleased faith-based conservatives and infuriated campaign finance reformers and groups advocating separation of church and state. [ Source: The News Tribune (Read More...) ]
