An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Demand Congressional Action on Hegseth's Illegal Actions

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I am writing to urge you to take immediate congressional action regarding illegal activities being conducted by Secretary Hegseth. The actions in question violate federal law and demand swift oversight and accountability from Congress. As my representative, you have both the authority and the constitutional obligation to investigate executive branch misconduct and enforce the rule of law. The separation of powers depends on Congress exercising its oversight responsibilities, particularly when cabinet officials operate outside legal boundaries. I expect you to use every tool available, including subpoenas, hearings, and appropriations authority, to address this situation. The American people deserve transparency and accountability from their government officials. When cabinet secretaries violate the law, Congress cannot remain silent or passive. Your constituents are watching to see whether you will uphold your oath to defend the Constitution or allow illegal conduct to continue unchecked. I am asking you to take three specific actions. First, publicly call for a full investigation into Secretary Hegseth's illegal activities through the appropriate congressional committees. Second, demand that the Department of Defense provide complete documentation of the actions in question. Third, support any measures necessary to hold Secretary Hegseth accountable, including censure or articles of impeachment if warranted by the evidence. This is not a partisan issue. It is a matter of whether our government operates under the rule of law or whether officials can act with impunity. I need to know that you will stand up for legal accountability regardless of political considerations. I look forward to your response outlining the concrete steps you will take to address this matter.
