New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a bill into state law Oct. 23 that bars nonprofits from endorsing or opposing political candidates, as part of the Democrats’ ongoing suppression of Empire State nonprofits and watchdog groups.
The state legislation mirrors and codifies the Johnson Amendment, a federal tax-law provision from 1954 that prevents religious organizations and other tax-exempt nonprofits from endorsing, opposing, or contributing financially to the campaigns of candidates for office.
