Over 1,500 churches have challenged the constitutionality of the Johnson (LBJ) Amendment that has been used since 1954 to intimidate free speech from the pulpit.
Organized by Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), the protests have grown from 33 churches in 2008, to 500 in 2011 and 1,500 in 2012. The Foundation for Freedom From Religion has sued the IRS to enforce the Johnson Amendment (which they have so far not done). ADF says go ahead, throw us into the Brier patch. They welcome a review of the unconstitutional Johnson Amendment by the courts and/or repeal by the Congress.

Named by the Cherokee Shaconoque, "place of the blue cloud", long before early European settlers named them the Smoky Mountains, the EPA is using the Smokies as a poster child for smog on their website explaining regulation of PM2.5 (fine particulate matter, 2.5 microns or smaller). This kind of phony imagery is reminiscent of "stranded" polar bears on ice flows, but it can be very effective in manipulating public opinion. Maybe we can learn something about confronting encroaching government agencies from the Smoky Mountains National Park handout about handling encounters with another dangerous predator - the black bear. - Watch now
