With a substantial federal workforce presence of 95,000 employees in Florida and 10,000 in your district alone, the unchecked gutting of government agencies by Elon Musk's Doge initiative jeopardizes many constituents' livelihoods. This drastic overhaul raises serious legal and ethical concerns violating principles of good governance and the rule of law. Constitutional scholars argue allowing one individual so much unilateral power over federal departments is unconstitutional and illegal. Doge's actions also compromise Americans' privacy by granting Musk's young programmers access to sensitive personal data. The mass layoffs, apparent racism within Doge's ranks, and lack of transparency raise troubling questions about ethical standards and adherence to labor laws. While courts have placed temporary holds on some overreaches, bolder action is needed to rein in this rogue operation before further damage is done. Unchecked expansion of presidential power sets a dangerous precedent undermining the nation's founding principles of checks and balances. Protect the integrity of public institutions and the livelihoods of federal workers in Florida and your district by taking decisive action against Doge's unethical and likely illegal conduct.
