An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Reject Russell Vought Nomination Dir OMB

2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the nomination of Russell Vought as Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Vought's radical "Project 2025" agenda threatens to undermine the constitutional authority of Congress by centralizing power in the presidency. His rejection of Congress's power of the purse is an egregious violation of the separation of powers enshrined in our Constitution. As the architect of Project 2025, Vought advocates for enabling the president to ignore congressionally appropriated funding at will, rendering the legislative branch powerless over federal spending decisions. His alarming views on consolidating executive power pose a grave threat to our democratic system of checks and balances. Confirming Vought would effectively cede Congress's constitutional duty to exercise budgetary oversight, eviscerating a core tenet of our democracy. Vought's nomination is a brazen attempt to accumulate authoritarian power for the presidency at the expense of the legislative branch. His confirmation would deeply undermine our system of government and the balance of powers. I urge you to reject this dangerous nominee and uphold the authority vested in Congress by the Constitution. Failing to do so would set a perilous precedent that erodes the foundational principles of our republic.
