Urgent: Remove RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary to Protect Public Health

4 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I am writing to express my deep concern over Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s actions as Secretary of Health and Human Services and to urge you to take immediate action for his removal from office. The recent events at the CDC, coupled with Kennedy's long-standing anti-vaccine stance, pose a severe threat to public health and the integrity of our nation's leading health institutions. The gravity of this situation cannot be overstated. Kennedy's recent decisions, including significant budget cuts, program disbandments, and mass layoffs at the CDC, have crippled our ability to respond to public health crises. The attempted firing of CDC director Dr. Susan Monarez during what's being called the 'Wednesday Night Massacre' is a clear abuse of power that undermines the stability of this crucial agency. Furthermore, Kennedy's campaign against vaccination and his efforts to restrict access to Covid vaccines directly contradict scientific consensus and endanger countless lives. This is not a matter of political disagreement but a dangerous deviation from evidence-based public health policy. The resignation of three senior CDC staff members in protest of Kennedy's actions speaks volumes about the untenable situation within the department. Public health experts and politicians across the spectrum are calling for his resignation, recognizing the imminent danger his leadership poses. I urge you to consider the warning issued by Caroline Kennedy in her letter to the Senate this January, where she described her brother's unsuitability for public office, citing his cruel and violent tendencies. These character flaws are now manifesting in policy decisions that affect the health and safety of all Americans. Time is of the essence. Every day that Kennedy remains in office puts more Americans at risk. I implore you to act swiftly and decisively to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from his position as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Our nation's public health infrastructure and the well-being of countless citizens depend on your immediate action. Thank you for your attention to this critical matter. I look forward to seeing concrete steps taken to address this urgent situation.
