An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Revoke 4 Tech CEOs Sworn In As Lieutenant Colonels.

16 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

Four civilians were just elevated to the seventh highest rank in the US military. What is it going to take for congress to say ENOUGH!?! On June 13 2025, the U.S. Army swore in four senior executives with significant ties to technology companies Meta, Palantir and OpenAI as lieutenant colonels. Not only is this a blatant insult to every single hard working member of the military who earns their rank through merit and effort, the ramifications for our entire nation and every single citizen in this country is a dystopian nightmare. We are watching the wheels coming off the train in real time. I beg you to do everything and anything you can to stop this untenable progression into a digital police state. It is time to enlist every sane congress member to put out this five alarm fire before our country is an unrecognizable disaster zone. Now is the time to be brave. Please fight this as if your own freedom is at stake.
