HR 9495 poses a grave threat to nonprofit organizations' ability to freely advocate for causes and engage in public discourse. The bill would impose onerous requirements and excessive government overreach that could ultimately silence dissenting voices. Nonprofit groups play a vital role in our democracy by educating the public, promoting civic engagement, and holding power accountable. Stifling their speech undermines core democratic principles. We urge you to reject HR 9495 and safeguard the constitutional rights of nonprofits to operate without undue burdens or fear of reprisal for exercising free speech. Protecting robust civic participation and open dialogue is essential for a healthy, functional democracy. HR 9495 represents an alarming attempt to curtail these fundamental freedoms that are crucial for an informed citizenry. Please stand firm against this misguided legislation that threatens to undermine our democratic foundations.
