I am writing to express my serious concerns regarding the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and its unchecked access to my personal and financial records. Regardless of political affiliation, all Americans should be able to trust that their private information is safeguarded and not accessed without clear consent or oversight. However, DOGE’s current data practices raise serious questions about government transparency, accountability, and respect for personal privacy.
The extent of DOGE’s access to individuals’ personal and financial data remains unclear. Without clear legal guardrails, this creates a serious risk of abuse, identity theft, or unauthorized surveillance. Government efficiency should never come at the cost of personal privacy. This is an issue that affects all citizens, regardless of party, and requires immediate attention.
I urge you to take concrete action by:
1. Investigating DOGE’s data collection policies to determine whether its access to personal information is justified, secure, and lawful.
2. Introducing or supporting bipartisan legislation that enforces strict oversight, ensures informed consent for data access, and protects individuals from government overreach.
3. Holding a public hearing to provide transparency on DOGE’s activities and allow constituents to voice their concerns directly.
The right to privacy is a fundamental principle that should unite lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. I urge you to take a leadership role in addressing this issue, ensuring that government efficiency does not come at the cost of personal security and freedom.
I look forward to your response on this matter and hope to see swift action. Please let me know how I and other concerned constituents can support efforts to protect our privacy rights.
