An open letter to the President

Restrict DOGE's unchecked access to citizens' private data

20 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

The Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) actions in obtaining widespread access to sensitive government databases containing personal information of millions of Americans raise significant privacy concerns. Recent federal court rulings have found that DOGE employees were improperly granted this level of access, often in violation of privacy laws and without adequate justification or oversight. The sheer scope of DOGE's data access, spanning agencies like the Social Security Administration, Office of Personnel Management, and Department of Education, is alarming. Court documents reveal DOGE staffers accessed databases with financial records, health information, employment files and more - all without clearly articulating the purpose behind needing such sweeping access. This lack of transparency surrounding DOGE's intentions and actions is unacceptable when dealing with Americans' most sensitive personal data. I urge you to take immediate action to curtail DOGE's unrestrained data gathering practices. Stringent safeguards and oversight mechanisms must be implemented to protect citizen privacy and limit DOGE's access only to what is strictly necessary and legally permissible. Unchecked overreach by this initiative jeopardizes the public's trust in the government's ability to be a responsible steward of personal information. Swift corrective measures are needed to rein in DOGE and uphold privacy rights.
