More news from Midland: Families and Freedoms seem to be Flourishing in West Texas

Collaboration is a great thing.  You might recognize some of these faces.  Free Market’s Jonathan Saenz joined Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council to raise awareness and funds in Midland.  Local newspapers have practically made Free Market a household name—here’s the Midland Telegram-Reporter’s take on the luncheon.  http://www.mywesttexas.com/articles/2008/04/30/news/top_stories/perkins.txt

Are Pastors Silenced from Politics?

Certainly no one would agree that a Pastor loses his rights to citizenship, his ability to vote, his political voice, or even a duty of civic action simply because of his profession.  Yet, certain religiously-hostile groups like the Americans United for Separation of Church and State are trying to silence all Pastors from taking part in the 2008 elections.  One particular Houston conflict is strikingly ironic—in a twist of fate, Free Market’s legal group turned the tables on anti-Christian hecklers, and filed an IRS complaint against the Americans United for Separation of Church and State for interfering in politics.  As opposed to pastors endorsing candidates and being involved in politics on a personal level—the non-profit activity actually is legitimately against the law.  No word from the IRS on either side…but you’ll see from the video clip it’s clear who won the PR war.
