Today I'm writing asking you to oppose certain provisions of H.R. 9495, the Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act. ill that I strongly oppose. While I have no objection to the provisions in this bill permitting the IRS to stop imposing tax penalties on hostages, there is another portion of the b I ask you to oppose the portion of this bill that would permit the Secretary of the Treasury to revoke the tax exempt status of any non-profit it deems to be "terrorist supporting." This portion of the bill has the potential to be weaponized against any legitimate non-profit that may be ideologically opposed to future administrations. Please oppose this bill if the provisions affecting nonprofits cannot be stripped from its language.
