Keep DOGE Out of Our Data

The message:

In Trump's latest power grab, the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has seized access to multiple federal computer systems that house the sensitive personal information of millions of Americans – including our bank accounts, health records, and Social Security numbers. They're also reportedly using AI to decide what critical public services and programs to cut, opening up our personal information to enormous cybersecurity vulnerabilities. This is a massive and potentially illegal invasion of our privacy.

Our data is protected by laws that limit who can access it and how it can be used. But DOGE is forcing its way into the government's most protected systems without consideration of the longstanding privacy safeguards mandated by Congress. We need to demand that our private records not be illegally accessed, analyzed, or weaponized by Trump, DOGE, and an unaccountable team of unvetted outsiders. Congress must step up, do its job, and check the president's violations of our rights.

Your Message

Subject Keep DOGE's hands off our data

As your constituent, I am writing to ask you to ensure the government is protecting our privacy by demanding a stop to DOGE's unauthorized access to our most personal information.

DOGE's access to databases at Treasury, Health and Human Services, and other agencies raises serious concerns about their compliance with legal requirements that ensure executive agencies are responsible stewards of our data. I am also concerned about the Trump administration’s flouting of long-standing legal requirements and how this could break down the checks and balances that protect our rights.

Message Body

Abuse of data and governmental procedures opens the door for wider abuses, including unconstitutional impoundment of funds, dismantling programs that help everyday Americans, corrupt use of sensitive confidential information for personal gain, and mass government surveillance.

As your constituent, I urge you to conduct immediate oversight into DOGE’s actions and fight back against these intrusive privacy invasions.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.

Alternate salutation

Most elected officials’ constituent email systems accept a very limited set of salutations. Please select the one you would most prefer.
