An open letter to the U.S. Congress

I stand with the ACLU against DOGE illegal surveillance of citizens!

64 so far! Help us get to 100 signers!

DOGE's reported access to highly sensitive personal information across numerous federal agencies raises alarming privacy concerns that demand immediate oversight and action from Congress. The unauthorized consolidation of Americans' data - including financial records, health histories, and political affiliations - into comprehensive digital dossiers represents a severe overreach that violates core privacy rights. This Orwellian surveillance dragnet, potentially enabled by unproven AI technologies operating outside legal safeguards, poses unacceptable risks of misuse, security breaches, wrongful targeting, and abuse of power. Upholding civil liberties requires robust data protection measures and strict limitations on government data sharing and analysis. Unchecked, DOGE's shadowy activities threaten to erode public trust, undermine due process, and chill free expression through a perpetual chilling effect of blanket monitoring. As elected representatives, you have a sworn duty to serve as a check on such egregious executive overreach and defend the fundamental rights to privacy and freedom from unwarranted surveillance that are enshrined in the Constitution. I urge you to use your full authority to immediately halt DOGE's unlawful data consolidation efforts, compel full transparency into its operations, and ensure comprehensive legislative reforms that enshrine digital privacy as the default, not as an exception requiring continual defense. The public's faith in democratic institutions hinges on your resolute action to rein in this insidious government overreach and reaffirm our nation's commitment to personal freedoms.
