Stop Musk and Withdraw Vought’s nomination
To: Rep. Gonzales
From: A constituent in San Antonio, TX
February 5
I’m a constituent writing to say that I’m outraged that Trump is working with Elon Musk to shut down the functions of our federal government. It’s disgusting to me as a taxpayer that you are allowing this major conflict of interest to occur. He has no government experience or knowledge to make the decisions he is making and I’m really disgusted at the way he is treating Americans that have dedicated their careers to civil service. This is an egregious overreach of power. You must fight against it! I’m also furious about the attempts to “freeze” federal spending. And I know that all of this goes straight back to Trump’s nominee for OMB Director, Russell Vought. If confirmed, moreover, I know that Vought will further enable Trump’s and Musk’s unconstitutional power grab.
Vought has made it clear in his confirmation hearings that his allegiance is to Trump and not to our Constitution. If he is put in charge of OMB, he will greenlight Trump and Musk’s coup which would cause devastating harm to millions of people in our communities.
Please stand up against Trump’s assault on our democracy. I expect the Senator to call for Vought’s nomination to be withdrawn and to vote NO if his confirmation moves forward. Remember that you work for us. Thanks.
