Review Tax-Exempt Criteria in Anti-Terror Financing Bill Cautiously

To: Sen. Hawley, Rep. Cleaver, Sen. Schmitt

From: A constituent in Kansas City, MO

November 20

The bill's overreach and lack of due process protections for designating "terrorist supporting organizations" raise constitutional concerns about unfairly revoking the tax-exempt status of legitimate groups based on flawed determinations. Solely stripping exemptions fails to address the systemic root causes driving support for extremism, like poverty and lack of opportunity. While providing relief for detained Americans is laudable, this bill takes an overly punitive approach that could infringe on rights and prove ineffective without complementary efforts focused on prevention over punishment through a more comprehensive, nuanced strategy.
