Our hearts go out to everyone affected by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, including those involved with religious institutions. However, the so-called "Federal Disaster Assistance Nonprofit Fairness Act" is a violation of a fundamental constitutional protection. The government cannot use its coercive taxing power to force citizens to fund houses of worship.
AZ's Senator Flake and Representative Franks have each signed on to the bills.
It is important that
all Arizonans contact Senator Flake, and that
all Congressional District 8 constituents contact Representative Flake.
Let them know that regardless of natural disaster, there is never a time when it is appropriate for the government to directly fund religious institutions.
