An open letter to the U.S. Congress

The Threat of Russell Vought’s Agenda to Our

3 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the influence of Russell Vought and the policies he promotes, which I believe pose a significant threat to our democratic institutions and the rule of law. As a constituent of yours, I urge you to take action to counter his dangerous agenda and protect the integrity of our Republic. Vought, the former director of the Office of Management and Budget under the Trump administration, now leads the Center for Renewing America, a far-right think tank that advocates for extreme policies aimed at dismantling government institutions and consolidating executive power. His Project 2025 blueprint outlines a radical vision that seeks to purge career civil servants, expand presidential authority beyond constitutional limits, and weaponize the Justice Department against political opponents. These proposals directly undermine the checks and balances that protect our democracy. Furthermore, Vought has been instrumental in pushing policies that fuel hyper-partisanship and erode public trust in democratic institutions. His efforts to delegitimize federal agencies, weaken the independence of the judiciary, and promote a Christian nationalist agenda threaten the pluralistic foundation of our country. The Constitution was designed to prevent any one ideology or leader from accumulating unchecked power, yet Vought’s blueprint for governance moves us closer to authoritarian rule. I urge you to take a strong stand against Vought’s influence by publicly denouncing his agenda, supporting legislation that safeguards democratic institutions, and working to prevent extremist policies from gaining traction in future administrations. Our democracy depends on elected officials willing to push back against those who seek to undermine it, and I hope you will take a leadership role in this effort. Thank you for your time and service to our country. I look forward to your response on how you plan to address this critical issue.
