An Open Letter
To: Rep. Higgins
From: A verified voter in Lafayette, LA
November 19
I want you to oppose H.R. 9495, The Stop Terror Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act. This bill would give the secretary of the Treasury the unilateral power to revoke a nonprofit's tax-exempt status and it would be abused by the Trump Administration. Alternatively, I know that Representatives Doggett and Beyer have submitted an amendment to the bill which strikes section 4 from it. This is the part I object to. So I am asking you to either vote no on the bill completely or insist that the House Rules committee adopt the Doggett Beyer amendment before s/he will support it. Thanks.
