Who's Really in Charge?

Our country is facing an alarming situation. An unelected billionaire, Elon Musk, appears to be wielding significant influence over federal operations. Despite never being on the ballot, he seems to have outsized control over key federal departments, which has concerning implications for our nation’s stability.

Reports indicate that Musk has gained access to the U.S. Treasury’s computer systems, which contain sensitive financial data for taxpayers, Social Security recipients, and Medicare and Medicaid users. You and I are among those folks. The risk of privacy breaches and identity theft on a national scale should concern every American. Private companies suffering data breaches have always been alarming; imagine the damage when our government’s records are at stake.

Please urge Congress to take action. Call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 to implore our senators and representatives to investigate and safeguard our institutions from unchecked influence. If leaders like Musk and Trump are allowed to bypass the rule of law, we risk a constitutional crisis that could undermine the foundations of our republic.
