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?
