Non-Profit Gag Oct 26, 2005 House Roll call 541 Congress 109 Session 1 Accepted: 210-205 Vote: Roll call 541 Votes For: 210 Votes Against: 205 Not Voting: 19 On October 26th, 2005, the House agreed, by a vote of 210 to 205, to an amendment that imposes an unconstitutional gag on the free speech of non-profit entities that receive federal funds for an affordable housing program. The ACLU opposed this amendment to the bill that created the Affordable Housing Fund because it would have restricted non-profit groups receiving these funds from even minimal lobbying or non-partisan get-out-the-vote activities, even when using their own money.
