DO NOT PASS HR 9495, PROTECT FREEDOM OF SPEECH
To: Rep. Jeffries
From: A verified voter in Brooklyn, NY
November 10
This proposed legislation raises serious concerns about potential abuse of power and infringement on constitutionally protected rights. The provisions allowing the Treasury Secretary to unilaterally designate non-profit organizations as "terrorist supporting" and revoke their tax-exempt status, with limited due process, could enable the suppression of dissenting voices and opposition groups. Such unchecked authority poses a threat to free speech and association. A more robust system of checks and balances is needed to prevent potential overreach and safeguard civil liberties. I urge you to oppose this bill in its current form to protect fundamental freedoms and maintain proper oversight over such consequential decisions.
