I am writing to express my deep concern over the rise of DOGE and Elon Musk’s undue influence over federal governance. This growing overreach threatens democratic principles, civil liberties, and the autonomy of our state. We cannot afford to wait for federal institutions to act alone—we need bold leadership at the state level to push back against these dangerous developments. I urge you to take immediate action to: 1. Use all legal means to challenge DOGE’s authority in our state, ensuring that unconstitutional policies are met with strong legal resistance. 2. Refuse cooperation with any directives from DOGE that violate state law, civil rights, or the democratic process. 3. Introduce and support legislation that reinforces state protections against overreach, ensuring that our residents’ rights and freedoms remain intact. 4. Coordinate with other states to build a coalition resisting DOGE’s consolidation of power, creating a united front to safeguard democracy. 5. Protect whistleblowers and state employees who may be pressured to comply with unconstitutional directives from DOGE or federal agencies under its influence. Many residents of this state—including myself—are alarmed, angry, and looking for ways to help. How can we, as engaged citizens, contribute to your efforts? What actions can we take at the local and state level to push back against these authoritarian moves? We are prepared to protest, petition, organize, and mobilize in any way necessary to defend our state and our rights. The people of [State Name] are counting on you to take a firm stand in defense of democracy. Please do everything in your power to resist DOGE’s expansion and Musk’s growing control over our government. I look forward to your response outlining your next steps and how we can support your efforts. Sincerely,
