Legislator integrity at stake, protect democratic process

To: Sen. Smith, Rep. McCollum, Sen. Klobuchar

From: A constituent in Saint Paul, MN

December 19

The influence of unelected individuals like Elon Musk on the legislative process raises serious concerns about the integrity of our democratic system. Their ability to sway members of Congress and derail a bipartisan agreement to avert a government shutdown through public pressure and threats is highly problematic. This sets a dangerous precedent where outsiders can hold the functioning of our government hostage to their personal agendas. A potential government shutdown would have severe consequences for essential services and the livelihoods of millions of Americans. Partisan brinksmanship and capitulation to the demands of private citizens with no official role should not be allowed to jeopardize the smooth operation of our federal government. I urge you to stand firm against such external interference and work towards a responsible resolution that keeps the government open and functioning for the people it is meant to serve.
