An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress; State Governors & Legislatures

Stop the Chaotic Federal Cuts: Protect America

36 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

The claim that the U.S. government is too large doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. As a share of the population, our federal workforce is smaller than in many other developed nations (OECD data). Slashing agencies doesn’t eliminate the need for their work—it just shifts it to the private sector, where costs will rise because companies need to turn a profit. Experts warn that privatizing essential services leads to higher expenses, inefficiencies, and reduced oversight (Brookings Institution, 2018). Instead of saving taxpayer money, these cuts will funnel it into corporate contracts with little accountability. This dismantling of government is being led by political operatives, not experts. Russell Vought and Paul Dans, who have no meaningful experience running a government, are pushing an agenda that ignores how federal agencies function. The learning curve for privatized replacements will be steep, and taxpayers will bear the cost of failures. You have a duty to stand up to Trump and defend the Constitution. This isn’t just about politics—it’s about keeping a functioning government that serves the American people. These cuts must stop before the damage becomes irreversible.
