An Open Letter
To: Rep. Scalise
From: A verified voter in New Orleans, LA
November 19
Please vote NO to HR9495!
Under this legislation, The Treasury Department could indiscriminately label any non-profit organization – think tanks, human rights groups, civil liberties orgs, universities, student groups, even Indivisible Civics – a “terrorist supporting organization” and strip it of its tax-exempt status. This bill requires no oversight. No due-process. No justification. Persons in power could use it to shut down any and all dissent against them.
This is a scarey power for any aspiring authoritarian.
PLEASE VOTE NO. It's already been defeated.
