Opposing anti-terrorism bill's risk of censorship and discrimination
To: Rep. Meng
From: A constituent in Bayside, NY
November 17
The proposed legislation aims to terminate tax-exempt status for organizations deemed to be providing material support to terrorist groups. While national security concerns are understandable, this measure could potentially enable discrimination against legitimate organizations based on differing political views. A more balanced approach that upholds civil liberties and due process is needed to address terrorism financing without infringing on free speech and association rights. I urge you to vote against this bill as it may enable censorship and harm vital community organizations unjustly.
