I am respectfully requesting that you oppose bill HB1255, for the following reasons: - This bill greatly lowers the threshold for defining corruption, creating a framework that is easily weaponized for political retribution. - This bill chills free speech by intimidating individuals and discouraging lawful ability to freely contribute to campaigns without fear of retaliation or selective enforcement.

Simplifying evidence requirements can enhance accountability but must safeguard due process and avoid abuse against political opponents.
