The budget vote

To: Sen. Cortez Masto, Rep. Lee, Sen. Rosen

From: A constituent in Las Vegas, NV

March 14

It is deeply concerning that the proposed budget package provides unchecked power to Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency to gut federal agencies and operations. Allowing this measure to proceed without any oversight or limitations would be irresponsible and detrimental to the functioning of our government. The purge of thousands of federal workers and unrestrained dismantling of long-established agencies cannot be tolerated. I urge you to stand firm against this package and demand that reasonable limits and accountability measures be put in place to rein in Musk's overreach. Passing this budget without such protections would undermine core principles of checks and balances vital to our democracy. Responsible governance requires safeguarding civil servants and ensuring billionaires like Musk do not have carte blanche to reshape the government purely for their own interests. I implore you to take a principled stand against this dangerous overreach of power.
