Political Quotes

On the recordNovember 21, 2024
American civil society and the not-for- profit sector must be protected against political censorship and government vendetta. To get America to bite on this toxic sandwich, they have tucked the rotten unconstitutional meat in with language clarifying that Americans held hostage are not subject to IRS penalties for failing to pay their taxes on time. The Senate already passed this fine legislation, and we could do that unanimously today. Instead, they want us to vote to give the President Orwellian powers and the American not-for-profit sector Kafkaesque nightmares. I voted against this bill last week, and I will vote against it today, tomorrow, next week, for the next 4 years, and beyond.
