An open letter to the U.S. Congress

No Medicaid cuts and NO ELON MUSK

30 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the House GOP's budget framework, which proposes to severely cut funding for Medicaid and SNAP in order to finance tax cuts that will predominantly benefit the top 1% and top 0.1% of income earners. I urge you to oppose this budget framework as it stands to harm millions of vulnerable Americans who rely on these essential programs for their health and well-being. Furthermore, I am deeply concerned about the actions of Elon Musk, who appears to be acting without accountability or oversight. Musk has taken actions that are both illegal and detrimental to the functioning of our government. For instance, a recent email labeled as originating from an "external" server has raised serious legal concerns, as noted by a Department of Justice official. Federal court officials and multiple government agencies have instructed their employees not to respond to this email, highlighting the unauthorized and disruptive nature of Musk's communications. Musk's actions have not only disrupted government operations but have also spread misinformation. His claim that DOGE saved $16 billion in government contracts, with nearly half from a single $8 billion contract with ICE that was actually for $8 million, is misleading. Furthermore, Musk's assertion that tens of millions of "dead people" are receiving fraudulent Social Security payments has been debunked by the Social Security Administration's inspector general. The firings orchestrated by Musk's DOGE have had far-reaching consequences, affecting critical government functions and agencies such as the National Nuclear Security Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This haphazard approach is not only chaotic but also dangerous, as it undermines essential oversight and public safety measures. I urge you to call Elon Musk to testify under oath to explain his actions and to hold him accountable for his reckless and unauthorized behavior. His conflict of interest across multiple government agencies is deeply troubling and demands immediate attention. Musk's involvement with companies like SpaceX and Tesla, which have significant government contracts, raises serious ethical concerns. Lastly, Musk's cuts, including his attack on Medicaid, appear to be a prelude to a massive tax cut for the wealthy, which would dramatically increase the federal budget deficit. This is unacceptable, and I urge you to take a stand against these harmful policies. Our government is meant to be of, by, and for the people. It is essential that we hold individuals like Elon Musk accountable and ensure that our government serves the interests of all Americans, not just the wealthiest few. Thank you for your attention to these critical matters.
