I’m writing about a bill called Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act that recently passed in the House (H.R. 9495). This dangerous and unconstitutional bill would give the Treasury Secretary unilateral authority to label any nonprofit a “terrorist-supporting organization” without evidence. It threatens nonprofits that express dissent, putting them at risk of retaliation and removal of their tax-exempt status. I join with Amnesty International, NAACP, and ACLU in urging you to vote NO on H.R. 9495.
