THE fascist authoritarian drumpf / trump-musk-vance administration has tried to get this legislation passed before and failed. They are trying again and there is a real chance this time it will pass and if it does it will be used to silence opposition to imposing an authoritarian theocratic oligarchy on America. We can not allow this to happen. Democracy is not a spectator sport, people need to e mail their representative and senators telling them they must defeat the "nonprofit killer" bill. From Demand Progress.....

Donald Trump ran for office pledging to punish anyone he deems a political opponent, and he's spent his first three and half months in office making good on those threats.
Now Republicans in Congress want to hand him even more sweeping powers to crush nonprofit organizations that dare to criticize him.1
A provision hidden deep in the massive tax-cut bill just passed by a key House committee would give the Trump administration the authority to strip the tax-exempt nonprofit status of any group in the country by simply labeling them as a "terrorist supporting organization."2
This is what authoritarianism looks like — and we need to mobilize major public outcry to stop this bill from ever becoming law.
Supporters of this "nonprofit killer bill" claim that it's needed to bar U.S.-based organizations from funding terrorists, but that's already illegal under multiple statutes.3
In reality, this legislation is about silencing political dissent and giving Trump the power to shut down his political opponents.
A previous version of the nonprofit killer bill passed the House of Representatives last November, but Demand Progress, along with a broad coalition of nonprofit organizations, was able to stop the bill in the Senate.4
But with Republicans now in charge of both the House and Senate, it will be even harder to stop the nonprofit killer bill this time around.
Demand Progress Action has already mobilized tens of thousands of people to contact Congress about this bill, and now we need to turn up the heat.
With gratitude,
The team at Demand Progress Action

MY E MAIL TO REP SUHAS SUBRAMANYAM D-VA 10TH DISTRICT
The fascist authoritarian drumpf / trump-musk-vance administration has included a nonprofit killer provision in the massive tax cut legislation favoring the rich working it's way through the House. The tax cuts for the rich are bad enough and need to be stopped, but this nonprofit killer provision is a lethal attack on our Constitution, our democratic Republic because it will allow this administration to strip the tax-exempt nonprofit status of any group in the U.S. by labeling them a "terrorist supporting organization". This is already the law in the U.S. but this bill would give NOT MY pres drumpf / trump the ability to declare any group opposing and criticizing him a "terrorist supporting organization". Please work with Virginia's House delegation and others in the House as well as Senators Warner and Kaine to defeat this tax cut bill or at the least this provision removed from the bill and make sure it is not included in any other legislation. Thank you.
