An Open Letter
To: Rep. Maloy
From: A verified voter in Salt Lake City, UT
November 19
H.R. 9495 poses a serious threat to freedom of speech and must be rejected. This bill would grant the administration sweeping powers to censor critics, stifle dissent, and punish organizations that dare to speak truth to power or provide humanitarian aid. It mirrors tactics used by repressive regimes to crush civil society voices. Protecting free speech is vital for a functioning democracy. Unchecked executive overreach sets a dangerous precedent that could impact not just non-profits but news outlets, universities, and anyone expressing dissent. We cannot allow this unacceptable infringement on Constitutional rights. I urge you to stand firm against this bill and uphold the freedoms that make America a beacon of hope.
