An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

Rein In Billionaire Influence Before It's Too Late

141 so far! Help us get to 250 signers!

Take action to curb billionaire influence over our government. The numbers are stark: 73% of Americans now view wealth inequality as a serious national issue, up from 66% in 2022, and 58% believe billionaires actively threaten democracy. This isn't fringe sentiment — it's a majority of your constituents. What's changed isn't that billionaires have power. The Koch Brothers were funding the Federalist Society in the early 1980s. What's changed is that today's oligarchs — Elon Musk most visibly — operate in the open, holding press conferences in the Oval Office and unilaterally slashing government programs. By 2024, top donors were spending more than three times as much on Republicans as Democrats, compared to near-equal party splits in 2016. That's not political participation. That's a buyout. I want to see you support legislation that limits the ability of billionaires to convert personal wealth into government control. The public is paying attention in a way it hasn't before, and the window to act is open. Don't wait for it to close.
