Subject: Urgent: Consequences of Trump’s Foreign Aid Suspension
Dear [Elected Official’s Name],
The abrupt suspension of U.S. foreign aid under President Trump’s Executive Order 14169 is jeopardizing global stability, harming our national security, and undermining American leadership abroad. This reckless decision disrupts critical humanitarian efforts, weakens alliances, and creates power vacuums that adversaries will exploit.
Congress must act immediately to restore essential aid and prevent long-term diplomatic and economic fallout. America’s strength lies not just in its power, but in its global responsibility. I urge you to oppose this dangerous policy and advocate for the reinstatement of funding.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

Subject: Urgent Concern: Reversal of Transgender Protections and DEI Programs
Dear [Elected Official’s Name],
I am deeply concerned about President Trump’s executive order revoking transgender protections and eliminating DEI programs in federal agencies. This action strips fundamental rights from marginalized communities, undermines workplace equity, and weakens our nation’s commitment to inclusion.
Dismantling these protections invites discrimination, disrupts federal workforce morale, and sets a dangerous precedent that denies dignity and opportunity to millions. I urge you to take immediate action to counter this rollback and uphold the principles of equality and justice for all.
Please let me know how you plan to respond. I look forward to your leadership on this critical issue.
Sincerely,

Subject: Urgent: Consequences of U.S. Withdrawal from the Paris Agreement
Dear [Senator/Representative’s Name],
I am deeply concerned about the Trump administration’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement. This reckless move weakens U.S. global leadership, undermines our economic competitiveness in clean energy industries, and accelerates climate-related disasters that threaten our communities.
Without U.S. commitment, we risk losing influence in global climate negotiations while China and the EU take the lead in green innovation and investment. Domestically, withdrawal jeopardizes job growth in renewable energy, increases public health risks, and escalates the financial burden of extreme weather events.
I urge you to take immediate action to counter this decision—whether through legislative protections, state-level initiatives, or international partnerships. Our economy, security, and future depend on it.

Subject: Urgent: Consequences of Rescinding Affirmative Action for Federal Contractors
Dear [Elected Official’s Name],
I am deeply concerned about the Trump administration’s decision to terminate Affirmative Action requirements for federal contractors. This move dismantles decades of progress toward equal opportunity in government-funded employment, opening the door to discrimination and reducing diversity in critical industries.
Federal contracts should reflect the values of fairness and merit, not exclusion and regression. Rolling back these protections will disproportionately harm underrepresented communities, weaken our workforce, and create legal vulnerabilities for the government.
I urge you to take immediate action to oppose this order and protect equal opportunity in federal contracting. The economic and social consequences of inaction are too great to ignore.

Subject: Oppose Discriminatory Restrictions on Transgender Military Service
Dear [Elected Official’s Name],
I am deeply concerned about President Trump’s executive order restricting transgender individuals from serving in the military. This discriminatory policy undermines our national security by excluding qualified, capable individuals solely based on gender identity. It disregards the service and sacrifice of transgender troops and contradicts the military’s own assessments that inclusivity strengthens unit cohesion and readiness.
I urge you to take immediate action to oppose this order. Support legislative measures that protect the rights of all Americans who are willing and able to serve their country. Discrimination has no place in our armed forces or our democracy.

Subject: Urgent: Harmful Consequences of New Tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China
Dear [Elected Official’s Name],
I am deeply concerned about President Trump’s recent executive order imposing 10% tariffs on Chinese imports and 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico. These tariffs will:
- Increase Costs for American Consumers and Businesses: Higher prices on essential goods, from electronics to food, will hurt working families and small businesses.
- Harm U.S. Farmers and Manufacturers: Retaliatory tariffs from our trading partners will devastate exports, costing American jobs and weakening supply chains.
- Jeopardize U.S. Trade Relationships: Canada and Mexico are our largest trading partners under the USMCA. These tariffs undermine trust and economic stability in North America.
I urge you to take immediate action to oppose these tariffs, protect American workers, and demand policies that strengthen—not destabilize—our economy.

Subject: Urgent Concern: Consequences of the Federal Hiring Freeze
Dear [Elected Official’s Name],
I am deeply concerned about the Trump administration’s federal hiring freeze and its long-term consequences. This reckless decision will:
- Weaken National Security & Public Services – Critical agencies like the TSA, VA, and Social Security Administration will face severe staffing shortages, directly harming veterans, seniors, and public safety.
- Destroy Institutional Knowledge – As experienced workers retire, the lack of new hires will create a devastating knowledge gap, leaving agencies ill-equipped to function effectively.
- Diminish Government Efficiency – Instead of streamlining government, this freeze will cause backlogs, delays, and wasted taxpayer dollars due to understaffing and inefficiencies.
This is not about partisanship—it is about protecting the fundamental ability of our government to serve the American people. I urge you to take immediate action to oppose this harmful order and demand accountability for its consequences.

Subject: Urgent: Protect Our Civil Service from Schedule F Abuse
Dear [Senator/Representative],
I am deeply concerned about the Trump administration’s reinstatement of Schedule F, which undermines the integrity of our nonpartisan civil service by allowing mass firings of career professionals and replacing them with political loyalists. This move threatens government accountability, expertise, and national stability.
If left unchecked, Schedule F will:
- Destroy the merit-based federal workforce, replacing expertise with political cronyism.
- Weaken public trust by injecting partisanship into agencies that must remain independent.
- Make corruption and inefficiency the norm, jeopardizing critical public services.
Congress must act immediately to block this power grab and protect our civil service from becoming a tool of authoritarian control. Please support legislation to permanently prohibit the reclassification of federal employees under Schedule F and uphold the principles of democracy, stability, and good governance.
I urge you to take swift action. The future of our government depends on it.

Subject: Urgent Concern: Reversal of DEI Programs Undermines Equal Opportunity
Dear [Elected Official’s Name],
I am deeply alarmed by the Trump administration’s order to terminate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs across federal agencies. This decision is not only a step backward in our nation’s commitment to fairness and equal opportunity, but it also weakens our workforce, limits innovation, and erodes public trust in our institutions.
DEI initiatives ensure that qualified individuals from all backgrounds have a fair chance to contribute their skills and perspectives. Removing these programs risks reinforcing systemic barriers, diminishing workplace morale, and alienating millions of Americans.
I urge you to take immediate action to oppose this reckless move. Our democracy and economy thrive when inclusivity is a priority—not when it is discarded for political gain. I will be watching your response closely and expect leadership that defends the rights and dignity of all.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

Subject: Urgent: Stop the Trump/Musk Federal Workforce Purge
Dear [Elected Official’s Name],
I am deeply concerned about the Trump administration’s directive offering federal employees the option to resign with deferred pay. This is not a cost-saving measure—it is a calculated effort to purge experienced civil servants, weaken institutional expertise, and replace them with partisan loyalists.
Federal employees are the backbone of our democracy, ensuring continuity, accountability, and the proper functioning of essential services. Forcing them out en masse jeopardizes national security, public health, and economic stability.
I urge you to take immediate action to block this reckless maneuver. Congress must protect nonpartisan governance and prevent political interference from dismantling our institutions.

Subject: Urgent Concerns Over Elon Musk’s Appointment to Lead DOGE
Dear [Elected Official’s Name],
I am deeply alarmed by the appointment of Elon Musk to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This move hands an unelected billionaire unprecedented control over critical government operations, including federal workforce restructuring and access to sensitive Treasury systems. Reports of Musk’s aides locking career civil servants out of key systems raise serious concerns about transparency, accountability, and potential conflicts of interest.
Our democracy depends on a competent, impartial federal workforce—not one subject to the whims of a corporate executive with no public mandate. I urge you to take immediate action to investigate and curb this dangerous overreach before it erodes the integrity of our institutions.

Subject: Urgent Concern – Private Influence on Federal Operations
Dear [Elected Official’s Name],
I am deeply concerned by reports that private aides associated with Elon Musk have locked career civil servants out of critical OPM computer systems. This raises alarming questions about oversight, transparency, and the undue influence of private individuals on federal operations.
I urge you to demand an immediate investigation, ensure the integrity of our civil service, and take swift action to protect our government from external manipulation. This is a fundamental issue of governance and accountability—our democracy depends on it.

Subject: Urgent Concern: Unauthorized Access to U.S. Treasury Systems
Dear [Senator/Representative Name],
I am deeply alarmed by reports that the U.S. Treasury Secretary has granted Elon Musk and his team access to the federal payment system, giving them control over sensitive financial data, including Social Security numbers. This unprecedented breach of governmental integrity poses a severe risk to national security, financial stability, and personal privacy.
I urge you to take immediate action to investigate this decision, revoke any unauthorized access, and hold accountable those responsible for this reckless move. The American people deserve a government that protects its financial systems from undue private influence.
Please let me know how you plan to address this urgent issue.
Sincerely,

Subject: Comprehensive Letter to Senate Majority Leader and House Speaker:
February 3, 2025
Senate Majority Leader John Thune
House Speaker Mike Johnson
Re: (18 U.S.C. § 4), Misprision of a felony(ies)
Sirs,
As you are aware the President and his Administration are directing an array of actions that are destroying the United States, vital institutions, and our global reputation.
The breach of previously secure Federal computing infrastructure has exposed millions of U.S. citizens’ sensitive financial information by private individuals who are ignoring the stringent security standards outlined by Federal Tax Information for which there are both criminal penalties:
· 26 U.S.C. § 7213 (Unauthorized Disclosure of Tax Information)
· 26 U.S.C. § 7213A (Unauthorized Inspection of FTI)
And civil penalties:
· 26 U.S.C. § 7431 (Civil Damages for Unauthorized Disclosure)
The USAID program, now effectively terminated by Trump and a private citizen makes America less safe and secure. USAID was created to strengthen worldwide stability, reduce the attributes that lead to extremism and extremist recruiting, and provide disaster response and crisis management, globally. The foothold established by USAID helped to expand trade and private market and supply chain development and enhanced U.S. diplomacy. The void will be filled by major U.S. adversaries therefore weakening our reputation as a stable, reliable partner and ally.
Furthermore, the breach of USAID systems by private individuals potentially exposes foreign policy, security assessments, threat data, counterintelligence information, and sensitive data about USAID partners throughout the world.
The unilateral tariffs directed at Mexico, Canada, and China will create economic harm for your constituents and the country. In manufacturing the tariffs will disrupt integrated automotive industry supply chains, raise consumer prices for electronic goods, and increase construction costs. The actions will cause construction projects to be delayed or terminated with an associated loss of jobs in the manufacturing and construction sectors.
The United States along with our allies must adhere to international law respecting the territorial integrity of all nations. Failing to do so aligns us with murderous dictators throughout tragic history to Putin’s annexation of Crimea and attack on the people of Ukraine. Threatening the territorial integrity of Mexico, Panama, and Greenland by this administration is a complete rejection of the rule of international law.
The termination of DOJ and FBI Personnel who were acting in accordance with their oath to uphold law and justice is vindictive and immoral.
Aside from the significant risk of future global conflict inherent in embracing ill-advised isolationist and nationalistic U.S. Foreign Policy, climate change, and the related climate catastrophe remains the most significant threat to humanity. Instead of taking a leadership role to work cooperatively with allies and adversarial nations, the withdrawal from global agreements, the evisceration of environmental regulation and enforcement (in exchange for political “donations”), and redoubling Big Oil, Coal, and extraction industry activity is a crime against this and future generations of Americans.
And the continuing efforts of this Administration to blame diversity for every catastrophic failure of government is blatantly racist. Diversity has been the backbone of American prosperity and growth throughout our history.
While we may share opposing views on many or all issues impacting the United States if we cannot fundamentally agree on an inviolable foundation of democracy, justice, and equality then there is no conversation.
The Republican Party must embrace its responsibility to all constituents, the Constitution, and the rule of law and begin Impeachment, invoking the 25th Amendment, or both.
Continuing to ignore your responsibility to the United States through absolute fealty to an unhinged criminal President is turning the Republican Party into a criminal organization acting as co-conspirators and/or as accessories after the fact.
There is a clear and present danger to America. What will you do?
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
