Reject H.R. 9495 - Protect Right to Peaceful Protest

To: Rep. Pocan, Sen. Baldwin, Sen. Johnson

From: A constituent in Fitchburg, WI

November 15

This highly controversial bill, H.R. 9495, seeks to drastically expand authorities' ability to prosecute protest-related offenses, infringing on constitutional rights to free speech and peaceful assembly. Its draconian provisions would allow federal charges against protesters for offenses currently handled at the state level, overriding local policies. This represents a disturbing overreach that threatens to criminalize dissent and chill free expression - core democratic values. As an elected representative sworn to uphold the Constitution, you must vehemently oppose this bill and its subversion of civil liberties. Reject H.R. 9495 to protect Americans' fundamental right to protest injustice and hold power accountable without fear of federal retaliation.
