Please work to enforce the Hatch Act. As you know, the Hatch Act was passed in 1939. Its purpose was twofold: to ensure federal programs were administered in a nonpartisan way and to protect federal employees from coercion as they did their jobs. The website of the Small Business Administration, I see a ‘Special Announcement’ that begins with: “Senate Democrats voted to block a clean federal funding bill (H.R. 5371), leading to a government shutdown that is preventing the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) from serving America’s 36 million small businesses.” This is a clear violation of the Hatch Act. Enforce the law; as Tom Homan said recently: “ … we’re a nation of laws, right? we gotta enforce the laws … we don’t pick and choose what we enforce, we’re here to enforce the law.“
