**Vote No on This Authoritarian Bill Proposal**
Vote no on this bill. This proposal would turn our country into an authoritarian state where citizens can be declared enemies based on baseless accusations of being socialist, communist, or Islamic.
This bill would allow for blatant discrimination . It targets people for their political beliefs and religious identity. It then would give the government power to detain them in ICE facilities where documented abuse already occurs. We're talking about American citizens being rounded up and held in the same detention centers where torture of undocumented immigrants has been reported.
For 250 years, this country has stood against exactly this kind of government overreach. We don't jail people for their beliefs. We don't create lists of undesirables based on ideology or faith. This bill violates every principle of due process and religious freedom our Constitution protects.
I need you to oppose this legislation publicly and work to ensure it never reaches a vote. Anyone who supports rounding up Americans based on political or religious labels has abandoned sanity and the values this nation was built on.
