We need a People’s Cabinet!

To: Sen. Schumer, Rep. Jeffries, Pres. Biden, Sen. Gillibrand

From: A verified voter in Brooklyn, NY

January 13

We need a People's Cabinet! As you know, in the Parliamentary system of government the Loyal Opposition forms a Shadow Cabinet. These people literally shadow the cabinet members and comment publicly on everything they say and do, providing alternative policies to the people and the press. Renowned author Timothy Snyder has suggested that we need a version of this to act as a positive resistance against the incoming presidential administration. He recommends calling it the People's Cabinet as it would be loyal to the Constitution. Please consider implementing this idea. It would keep Democrats and Democratic policies more firmly in the public eye. Thank you!
