This is horrendous. I can't stand the Orwellian use of language. Protecting their free speech? They are free to speak just as I am, and if they do so, then they should pay taxes just like I do. Free speech does not equate to freedom to suck off the teat of the American tax payer. If you want to get handouts from the government then you have to obey certain reasonable restrictions on how you use those handouts. This is further offensive because the requirements they put on churches to qualify would exclude atheist organizations, Unitarian churches, Wiccans, and even though it says "meditation" groups, none would qualify because of the other requirements. This is nothing but pandering to the established churches at the expense of anyone who doesn't conform to that mold.
