An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Investigate. Bring the USS Lincoln Crew home NOW. IMPEACH HEGSETH & TRUMP

2,063 so far! Help us get to 3,000 signers!

The conditions aboard the USS Lincoln are shocking and unacceptable. Every decent human being should be outraged. An unprecedented nine-months continuous deployment with now shocking conditions on board. Servicemembers willing to give their lives for the US are living in circumstances worse than some prisons. We know that there have been multiple instances where service members have wished to jump overboard.......... Moldy showers, broken toilets, no laundry, no soap, deodorant or toothpaste; insufficient and vile food. Remember: the crew members have been on that carrier for more than 9 months, including more than 250 days without the usual docking breaks. (Consider that Congress does not even usually stay in session for a full week-- you all get to return to your home state weekly most of the time, and then have extended time away from DC many times a year.) OUR SERVICE MEMBERS DO NOT SIGN UP for worse than prison conditions. ........................................................CONDITIONS ON THE USS LINCOLN ARE AN ABJECT and UNFORGIVABLE BETRAYAL........... The situation reflects disregard, incompetence, and even contempt on the part of Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth, combined with the trap of an unwindable war in Iran......................................................I ask you to hold hearings and use all the investigative tools available. PLEASE: do all you can to BRING THE USS LINCOLN CREW HOME. ...................................................................................................................................................................................It is clear from this scandalous abusive betrayal that Trump is morally and practically unfit to serve as commander in chief; Peter Hegseth is no less unfit for his grave responsibilities. IMPEACH BOTH ...................................................................
