If You Don't Want War, Don't Pay For It!
Petition Text
Become a co-sponsor of H.R. 1947, The Religious Freedom Peace Tax Fund Bill of 2017.
Why is this important?
Many Americans hold deeply held beliefs against participating in war. The government recognizes conscientious objection to military service but doesn't for income tax payment. H.R. 1947 will allow people morally opposed to having the portion of their income taxes used for military purposes directed to non-military spending. This will stop our income taxes from being conscripted. This is a First Amendment constitutional issue! Find out more: National Campaign for a Peace Tax Fund
