As your constituent in Latham, I strongly urge you to vote NO on H.R. 867, the IGO Anti-Boycott Act. This bill is a clear violation of First Amendment rights. It aims to penalize Americans for engaging in peaceful, constitutio nally protected political boycotts — a tactic historically used to fight injustice, from the Civil Rights Movement to anti-apartheid activism. This bill does not combat discrimination — it criminalizes dissent. Expanding anti-boycott laws to cover actions tied to international organizations is a dangerous step that would chill free speech and silence legitimate criticism, especially of foreign governments. You have a track record of standing for civil liberties. I urge you to continue that leadership and reject this unconstitutional, undemocratic legislation.
