Dear Honorable Justices of the Supreme Court, I am writing to urge you to veto HB3016 and any other anti-boycott/divestment bills that may come before you. These bills infringe upon our fundamental rights of freedom of expression and speech, as protected by the Constitution. Choosing not to purchase certain goods or services is a form of expression, a peaceful way to voice support or objection to certain actions or policies. This act falls squarely within the realm of freedom of speech guaranteed by the First Amendment. By criminalizing or penalizing individuals or entities for participating in boycotts or divestments, these bills not only suppress dissent but also undermine the core principles of democracy. I implore you to uphold the values enshrined in the Constitution and safeguard the rights of individuals to express themselves through peaceful means. Let us preserve the essence of democracy and protect the freedoms that define our nation. Thank you for your time and consideration.
