Reject US-Israeli Military Tech and Intelligence Mergers
To: Sen. Johnson, Sen. Baldwin
From: A constituent in Salem, WI
September 14
Dear Senators,
I am writing as your constituent to urge you to reject any proposed mergers between US and Israeli military technology and intelligence sectors.
This is fundamentally a matter of American sovereignty. Decisions about our nation's defense infrastructure, intelligence apparatus, and technological capabilities must remain firmly under American control and accountable to the American people, not entangled with the interests of a foreign government, however allied. Merging these systems risks blurring lines of accountability, complicating oversight, and creating dependencies that could compromise our ability to act independently in matters of national security.
I want to be clear: this is not a fringe position. Polling shows that over 70% of Americans oppose these kinds of mergers. That is a striking, bipartisan level of public concern, and it deserves to be reflected in how you vote and what you prioritize in committee and on the floor.
I am asking you directly: please prove that you work for the people of the United States, and not for foreign interests. Your constituents sent you to Washington to protect American sovereignty, American jobs in the defense and tech sectors, and American control over the tools that keep us safe. Every vote and every closed-door negotiation on this issue is a chance to show whose interests actually guide your decisions.
Concretely, I am asking you to:
1. Publicly oppose any legislation or executive action that would merge US and Israeli military technology or intelligence infrastructure.
2. Demand full transparency and public hearings before any such agreements move forward.
3. Make a public statement explaining your position on this issue so your constituents know where you stand.
I will be watching how you act on this issue, and I will be discussing it with my neighbors and fellow voters. Thank you for your time and for representing Wisconsin in the Senate.
Sincerely,
Jacob
