Do not pass H.R. 9495

To: Rep. Rosendale

From: A verified voter in Helena, MT

November 21

Based on the context provided, I would draft the following message regarding H.R. 9495: This bill would give the Secretary of the Treasury concerning powers to designate organizations as "terrorist supporting organizations" and terminate their tax-exempt status. While the intent may be to cut off funding to groups engaged in violence, the broad and unchecked authority granted could enable administrations to suppress lawful dissent and crack down on disfavored ideological movements or minority communities. Protecting free speech and preventing discrimination should be prioritized over such expansive government overreach. This provision raises serious constitutional concerns over free expression and equal protection that cannot be ignored. I urge you to remove or substantially revise this aspect of the legislation to include robust safeguards against abuse.
