An open letter to the U.S. Senate

Cabinet Confirmations

25 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

I'm writing to express concern about the nomination of Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense, as it is my understanding that meetings are being held with him this week. While I do think there are some personal problems that make him unsuitable as a leader of men, my primary concern is his lack of experience leading even a small organization, let alone the largest one our country has, and which is responsible for our safety here and around the globe. This simply is not a position one can learn on the job. I think that our presidents should largely get the cabinet they desire, but the confirmation process is there to prevent catastrophic mistakes, which I think this nomination is. I urge you to vote no and to help steer the president toward a more qualified candidate in whatever capacity you may be able.
