*Impeach Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s from HHS Secretary**
I am writing to urge you to oppose the confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services. His Confirmation has posed a direct threat to public health infrastructure and the wellbeing of your constituents.
Kennedy has spent years promoting vaccine misinformation and conspiracy theories that undermine confidence in proven public health interventions. At a time when we need science-based leadership at HHS, his record demonstrates a fundamental rejection of evidence-based medicine. The department oversees critical agencies including the CDC, FDA, and NIH that protect Americans from disease outbreaks, ensure drug safety, and advance medical research. These institutions require a leader who respects scientific consensus, not someone who has built a career questioning it.
The consequences of his confirmation has been measurable and severe. Vaccine hesitancy already costs lives, and elevating a prominent anti-vaccine activist to lead our nation's health agency has amplify dangerous misinformation and has caused more disease outbreaks. Parents making decisions about their children's health deserve accurate information from HHS, not debunked theories. Healthcare providers need clear, science-based guidance, not politically motivated interference in medical practice.
Beyond vaccines, Kennedy has promoted unproven treatments and questioned established public health measures. HHS manages Medicare and Medicaid programs serving over 140 million Americans. These programs demand competent, evidence-based administration, not ideological experimentation with people's healthcare.
I ask you to impeach him. Your constituents depend on HHS for everything from food safety to pandemic response. We cannot afford to place these critical functions in the hands of someone whose public statements consistently contradict medical science.
