Don't let Trump take revenge on nonprofits
The Senate must REJECT H.R. 9495, which would give President-elect Trump the green light to shut down nonprofits he disagrees with.
This dystopian legislation would hand Trump – and any other future president – a blank check to take revenge against organizations that are peacefully resisting or disagreeing with the White House's policies.
We urge you to block this shameful bill and protect our right to dissent.
Why is this important?
The House of Representatives just passed a dangerous bill that would give President-elect Trump – and any future president – a blank check to take revenge on political enemies.
That’s right, H.R. 9495 would allow the president to SHUT DOWN any nonprofit organization whose First Amendment-protected speech he deems a threat to the country.
And you know as well as I do how that power would be abused – painting a target on organizations that are peacefully resisting or dissenting from the White House’s policies.
But here’s the good news: thanks to over 7,000 letters and calls from Common Cause members like you, we helped build unprecedented opposition to this legislation – convincing 39 representatives to flip their vote and oppose this bill.
With your action, I’m confident that we can convince enough Senators to BLOCK this legislation and stop it from becoming law.
Add your name to tell the Senate to REJECT this dystopian attack on our right to dissent.
