IRS Seeks to Silence Wichita Church's Free Speech
Pastor Mark Holick • 6/1/2007
PRESS RELEASE IRS SEEKS TO SILENCE WICHITA CHURCH’S FREE SPEECH On April 20, 2007 the IRS sent an “inquiry” letter to Spirit One Christian Center (1515 E. Harry St., Wichita, KS, 67211) stating that, “a reasonable belief exists that your organization has engaged in political activities…” They cited our church marquee signs. In specific a sign we put up which read, “Sebelius accepted $300,000.00 from abortionist Tiller, price of 1000 babies.” The IRS has become a Gestapo, speech police, that says if you're Christian, there are some things you cannot say or preach. The First Amendment of the Constitution is a respected and renowned oracle celebrated among the nations of the world. It is quite specific and clear; Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press… This is the IRS blatantly limiting the free exercise of our sincerely held Christian and religious beliefs in the sanctity of life. Even those who disagree with our Christian beliefs should find this bully action by the IRS deplorable. In addition, I am pretty sure “no law” means…well…no law. PRESS CONFERENCE A Press Conference will be held tomorrow, Friday, June 1st, at 11:00 a.m. at Spirit One Christian Center, 1515 E. Harry St., Wichita, Kansas (under the Marquee in question) Contact: Pastor Mark E. Holick, Spirit One Christian Center, 316.303.0095 office; Rev. Flip Benham, 980-722-4920, www.operationsaveamerica |
