The proposed legislation threatens fundamental rights by imposing excessive governmental oversight and regulation on civil society organizations and non-profit groups. This infringes upon constitutionally protected freedoms of speech, association, and assembly that are vital to a robust democracy. I urge you to reject this bill and safeguard the ability of Americans to freely engage in advocacy, organize, and voice dissent without undue interference from the state. Protecting civic space and an independent civil society sector is essential for holding power accountable and upholding democratic principles.
