An Open Letter

To: Gov. Landry, Rep. Hebert, Sen. Coussan

From: A verified voter in Lafayette, LA

November 17

Hi, I'm a constituent writing from Lafayette, La. My name is Allison Dominique. I know that Trump is asking lawmakers to let him name his unqualified cabinet nominees as "recess appointments" without a vote, a move that would require the Senate to adjourn for long periods of time. I am strongly urging you to refuse to comply. Under the Constitution, the Senate must confirm cabinet secretaries. There's a reason for that-unqualified nominees can then be blocked. I expect you to stand by the vow you took to uphold the Constitution. And for God's sake VITE NO on Gaetz, Kennedy, Gabbard, and Hegseth. I'd like to remind you, as Timothy Snyder said this past week, that "the United States Senate will not outlast the United States." If these appointments end the American experiment your jobs will go with it. Fight back! Thank you. Clear Hi, I'm a constituent writing from Lafayette, La.
