An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Investigate the Unauthorized Passports Website and Block Executive Overreach

108 so far! Help us get to 250 signers!

Launch an investigation into the alternative government passports website immediately. There are serious, credible concerns that this site may be harvesting personal data, redirecting users away from official government channels, or installing malware on visitors' devices. Congress cannot let the executive branch quietly stand up its own version of federal websites without oversight. This isn't a minor technical glitch. Passport applications require some of the most sensitive personal information Americans ever submit to the government — full legal names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and more. If an unauthorized or executive-controlled site is collecting that data outside of established legal frameworks, that is a direct threat to millions of Americans. Your constituents deserve to know who built this site, who controls it, and what is being done with the data it collects. Demand answers now. Subpoena the records, hold hearings, and pass legislation that explicitly prohibits the executive branch from operating parallel versions of official federal web infrastructure without congressional authorization. The integrity of government digital services is not a partisan issue — it is a basic accountability issue, and it needs your attention before more Americans are exposed.
