An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

Demand Accountability for the Mistreatment of USS Abraham Lincoln Sailors

58 so far! Help us get to 100 signers!

You need to investigate the conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln and demand accountability from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. These sailors have been deployed for over eight months with no port calls, no fresh food, and rotten meat arriving on supply ships. Warships are supposed to dock every four to six weeks. This isn't a supply chain mystery — it's a failure of leadership, and someone needs to answer for it. When this story broke, Hegseth didn't fix anything. He called the sailors liars. Meanwhile, reports are now emerging that sailors on the USS Bush faced virtually no food, water, or soap. This is a pattern, not an isolated incident. Republicans who claim to love the troops need to prove it by holding this administration responsible for what's happening on these ships right now. I want to know where you stand. Will you call for a congressional investigation into military readiness and sailor welfare under this administration? The people serving this country deserve better than to be abandoned and then gaslit by the officials who sent them into a war zone.
