Our Staff's Statements of Conscience
D. Melani Hom, Interim Executive Director
The essence of my morals, values, and ethics greatly support making
a positive and peaceful impact on society. The concept of indirectly
killing individuals through the payment of my federal taxes is severely
contradictory to what the essence of my existence is. In the words of
Martin Luther King, Jr., "Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only
light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." Why
feed more darkness and hate by allocating our taxes toward military purposes,
when we have the opportunity in creating vast light and great love with
the Religious Freedom Peace Tax Fund Bill, H.R. 1921?
