An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Defund and Restructure America250 to Restore Its Nonpartisan Mission

135 so far! Help us get to 250 signers!

The America250 commemoration has been hijacked, and you need to act now to stop it. What was chartered as a nonpartisan celebration of our nation's 250th birthday has been turned into a political vehicle that promotes one party, elevates one man, and — by credible accounts — is generating personal financial benefit for him in the process. That is a betrayal of every American this anniversary is supposed to honor. Congress must investigate how America250 funds are being spent, who is profiting, and how a nonpartisan federal commission became a campaign backdrop. If the leadership cannot be replaced and the mission restored, funding should be pulled entirely. The 250th anniversary of this country belongs to all of us — not to any politician, party, or brand. I expect you to demand accountability and make that happen before July 4, 2026 turns into a taxpayer-funded rally.
