This legislation poses concerning threats to civil liberties by potentially enabling the termination of tax-exempt status for organizations accused of providing "material support" to certain groups, without sufficient due process. While the intention may be to counter terrorism financing, the broad language could be abused to suppress dissent and chill free speech. We must find alternative approaches that uphold constitutional protections and democratic values. Stripping nonprofits of their tax-exempt status based on vague accusations and without robust review mechanisms is a deeply troubling overreach that undermines fundamental rights. I urge you to reject this bill and instead pursue narrowly-tailored, constitutional measures to address national security concerns without compromising core American freedoms.
