Gag rule
Christian Century, Dec 13, 2005
GAG RULE: The U.S. House of Representatives has approved an Affordable Housing Fund, which gives priority to Hurricane Katrina victims. But many community-based nonprofit agencies will not be able to receive the funds if the Senate follows the House's lead. That's because hidden away in HR 1461 is a gag rule, the so-called Manager's Amendment, which states that no organization can receive money from the Affordable Housing Fund if it engages in voter registration, voter identification or get-out-the-vote activity, even of a nonpartisan nature; if it has engaged ill such activity in the 12 months before applying for funding; or if it affiliates with any organization that engages in such activity.
The Senate's version of the bill, S 190, does not contain that provision (www.ombwatch.org).
