I am writing to you as a constituent, a decorated and disabled US Army combat veteran, and pastor. Elon Musk—a private citizen—has shut down USAID under the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with Trump’s blessing. He’s locked staff out, closed its headquarters, and handed control to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Musk’s next target? The Department of Education, with plans to dismantle federal oversight and shift to privatization. This is a hostile takeover of public institutions by private interests. For years, Republicans warned about “unelected bureaucrats,” yet they are silent as an unelected billionaire wields unchecked power. Enough. I demand immediate action:
1. Investigate Musk’s authority under DOGE.
2. Expose the legal basis allowing a private citizen to control public agencies.
3. Pass legislation to stop this corporate-driven destruction of democracy.
You work for me—and the American people. Hold Musk accountable.
