To: Rep. Smith, Sen. Murray, Sen. Cantwell

From: A constituent in Seattle, WA

November 17

This bill grants the Secretary of the Treasury broad and arbitrary authority to designate tax-exempt organizations as "terrorist supporting" based on minimal evidence, potentially stripping their tax-exempt status. This provision raises serious concerns about infringing on free speech and dissent against the government. Revoking an organization's tax-exempt status for exercising constitutional rights sets a dangerous precedent that could chill advocacy and undermine democracy. I urge you to oppose this bill and any measures that could be weaponized to suppress civil society organizations that voice criticism of government policies or actions. Protecting robust public discourse and the right to dissent is vital for a healthy democracy.
