NO on Patel, Gabbard, and Kennedy!
To: Sen. Kennedy, Sen. Cassidy
From: A constituent in New Orleans, LA
February 5
As your constituent, I am writing to express my deep concern and strong opposition to the potential confirmation of Donald Trump's cabinet nominees: Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. These individuals are wholly unfit to serve in positions of power, and I urge you to do everything in your capacity to block their confirmation. Their extremist views, history of disinformation, and dangerous policy positions pose a direct threat to national security, democracy, and public health. Tulsi Gabbard is a Putin apologist with deep ties to authoritarian regimes. Gabbard has a long history of echoing Kremlin propaganda and aligning herself with authoritarian leaders, including Bashar al-Assad, who has committed war crimes against his own people. Her disinformation campaigns on U.S. foreign policy directly undermine American credibility and security. Additionally, her political affiliations and erratic ideological shifts raise serious questions about her loyalty to democratic values—a key qualification for any cabinet position. Kash Patel is a Trump loyalist who undermined national security. Patel has been instrumental in Trump's efforts to politicize intelligence agencies and obstruct the rule of law. His role in pushing false conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and attempting to install Trump loyalists in the Department of Justice should automatically disqualify him from any position requiring impartial judgment. He played a direct role in downplaying the violent January 6th insurrection, supports illegal retribution against his political opponents, and has no business overseeing national security matters. RFK Jr. is a conspiracy theorist and a threat to public health. RFK Jr. has spent years spreading dangerous misinformation about vaccines, COVID-19, and public health policies. His reckless statements have undermined scientific consensus, contributed to vaccine hesitancy, and endangered American lives. His deep connections to far-right extremist groups and anti-democracy forces make him a wholly unacceptable choice for any public leadership role. These nominees represent the worst possible choices for our country's future. They are not leaders who will act in the best interests of the American people —they are extremists with records of undermining democracy, public trust, and national security. Their confirmations would be a catastrophic mistake that would embolden dangerous ideologies and weaken the institutions that protect our nation. I demand that you take a strong stand and vote against their confirmation. I, along with countless other concerned constituents, will be watching your actions closely. The future of our democracy depends on rejecting individuals who seek to dismantle it from within.
