This legislation would grant unchecked power to the incoming Trump administration to target and potentially shut down nonprofit organizations by labeling them "terrorist supporting organizations" without due process or justification. Allowing such authoritarian overreach sets a dangerous precedent that undermines democratic values and civil liberties. Dissent and freedom of association are crucial components of a healthy democracy. I urge you to firmly reject H.R. 9495 and any attempts to silence opposing voices or dismantle Constitutional protections under the guise of national security. Upholding checks and balances against executive abuse of power is essential to preserving our democratic institutions. Vote no on this bill that threatens fundamental rights and empowers oppressive government tactics.
