Stop Harassing Mark Kelly. Impeach Hegseth Now. I am a voting constituent writing to express my outrage regarding Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s ongoing harassment of Senator Mark Kelly. As reported by CNN on May 10, 2026, Hegseth has launched yet another baseless Pentagon investigation into Senator Kelly’s public comments regarding military readiness—comments that were already part of the public record. This is a clear attempt to weaponize the Department of Defense to infringe upon a Senator’s First Amendment rights and silence dissent. Such retaliatory behavior is an abuse of power and constitutes direct harassment of a sitting member of Congress. I urge you to take immediate action to halt these investigations and protect the protected speech of our representatives. Furthermore, Secretary Hegseth’s repeated disregard for constitutional boundaries makes him unfit for office. I call on you to join impeachment proceedings against him immediately.
