An open letter to the U.S. House of Representatives
Please Cosponsor H.R. 10309: Protect Americans from Foreign Censorship
2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!
I’m writing to urge you to support and cosponsor the HOMEFRONT Act of 2026 (H.R. 10309).
The First Amendment should not stop at the water’s edge. When foreign governments use fines, legal threats, or other pressure to make Americans and U.S. companies suppress speech protected by our Constitution, they should not be able to enlist U.S. courts or government agencies to enforce those demands. The HOMEFRONT Act would set that boundary while requiring that any foreign order presented for enforcement meet U.S. constitutional standards, including First Amendment protections and due process.
The bill would also bar government assistance and extradition for conduct protected here, and give people targeted by covered foreign censorship orders a way to seek relief in federal court. That matters not only for individual speakers, but also for the open exchange of ideas online: companies should not have to choose between complying with foreign censorship demands and facing penalties at home.
Please stand up for Americans’ constitutional rights by supporting and cosponsoring H.R. 10309. I hope you will help move this legislation forward.
