Leftist Climate Group Pivots To Fighting Trump

QUESTION: "Should the federal government crack down on Sunrise Movement?" In my opinion, The government should crack down on the Soros funding of these pro-chaos, anti-America groups. His funding essentially becomes a shadow government, funding ideologies that grow the insanity on the far left. If contributed directly to candidates, the $$$ would be under closer scrutiny. He buys anarchistic cheerleaders. If the money dries up, there would be less manic energy from the disruptive, anti-semitic hate groups. I lived through the protests of the 60s. This is much more sinister.

yes! go after the $$$ being shoveled to these terrorists. they are preying on the younger, more gullible population.

Yes and all of the people that are funding these groups!

Government must crack down on every group or organization that promotes violence.

It's time to call a spade a spade. First, be very clear what America is, and what it stands for: A Republic that values limited government, depends on free market economics, and promotes judeo-christian values as the foundation of ethics and morality. Next, be very clear that those who seek to undermine these foundations are not welcome here; and those who seek to disrupt, rather than participate in, the free flow of ideas and the general commerce of a society based on these foundations, will be dealt with, firmly and swiftly, including forfeiture of resources, imprisonment, and deportation.

The government should ban all NGOs that are political.

The federal government should absolutely crack down on Sunrise and other groups like them. It is baffling that they can be called a non-profit and have tax advantages for disrupting society. Besides forcing transparency and hopefully eliminating their tax advantages; the government should start prosecuting people that organize events that cause damage, disrupt the peace, and interfere with (or threaten & dox) ICE agents. Lawful protest is not the same as riots and interfering with law enforcement operations.

Absolutely, especially since it is being supported by Soros and the Left gang in Congress, while appealing to youth who traditionally question the values of their parents.

Cracking down on the groups and supporters is long overdue!

The DOJ and the FBI should aggressively investigate these types of groups and, where appropriate, prosecute leadership within those groups. Soros has long been known to fund "anarchist" type activities, and his foundations should be aggressively investigated.

Susan Kurzman stated my opinion perfectly. It his the head of the snake, the money behind the mess, that must be targeted. Soros especially. I don't understand how he and his son are allowed to continue their operations in America.

"Should the federal government crack down on Sunrise Movement?" YES!!!!!!!!!!! The picture Upward posted shows complete Nazi ""authoritarianism""!!!! What a bunch of pure hypocrites they are! They claim to be a "climate" activist but it is amazing how immigration fits into "climate"! Sunrise, if things are so, so, so b-a-a-a-a-d here in the USA, then quickly reserve your plane flight to move to the communist country of your choice!!!!!!!!!!! We will not miss you. And take all your likeminded buddies, from what ever other 'protest affiliation organization', with you.

Stomp it out before it grows any larger!

Yes!

There needs to be a crack down on "nonprofits" in general. There needs to be clarification and narrowing of the defenition, qualifications of a "nonprofit".

Take away all NGO tax exempt status

"Crack down on"? No. They should be made irrelevant, defunded, declawed in some way that does not require authoritarian methods. They should just be undone.

Yes. Anything that even smells like George Soros should be fully investigated and exposed in the light of day!

"....should the federal government crack down on Sun Rise....?" That's the dumbest question I've seen out of you guys in a while. Hell yes they should, and it shouldn't just be the Sun Rise !movement!!

As many have pointed out, this is as clear as day beyond protests. This is vile coordinated attacks on the very foundations and principles of this country. All these NGO's with Soros leading the pack need to be cut off completely from funding these anti-American "organizations". In fact they need to be federally indicted and prosecuted for stirring and sowing the seeds of seditious activity, period. And of course you go after all the little useful idiot pawns that make up their little cell units. They all essentially fall under the banner of Antifa whether we are talking (Sunrise, Code Pink, Socialists of America, etc.). They all follow the same script and it's high time they were not allowed to hide behind The Constitution they so animatedly hate. The Trump Admin. has labeled types domestic terrorists in essence, time to start treating them that way..

Absolutely yes. They clearly support agitation and violent protest, so they should lose their tax exemption status immediately if not sooner. The best way to stop this wickedness is to cut off the money. A full forensic audit is needed on all of these left wing organizations.

Anybody have a suggestion for the wording that could not be turned around to come against organizations who support YOUR preferences? It's easy to say orgs promoting violence should be shut down and/or penalized but then it is individuals who do the evil deeds. Claiming it is the fault of any one org then becomes a court battle that nobody but lawyers enjoy.

To me this IS an issue of holding people themselves 100% accountable for their actions. Not just arresting them and turned loose in a few hours. Our system of holding people accountable with penalty is key.

We should monitor violent groups(left/right)wherever. Monitoring groups that use ‘nonprofit status ‘ to circumvent paying taxes, hid paying for violent actions, communistic promotional activities and terrorism. Than

I completely disagree with what Sunrise is doing but weaponizing the Federal government against them is exactly what Biden was doing. We CANNOT follow his example. I have no problem going after Soros for funding it, but we cannot maintain this precent of going after political opposition.

Yes, the government should take steps to limit their influence, but it has to be cautious in doing so. The level of student involvement is increasing, spawned by Soros funding and open support from the socialist arm of congress. History could repeat itself with strong student activity - think Nazism and how rapidly that movement grew. The hope is that the increased involvement of young people moving to Christianity may be able to counter the loud voices of the left.
