3/26/2025 Follow Up: Accountability for Irresponsible Handling of War Plans

To: Sen. Luján, Sen. Heinrich, Rep. Stansbury

From: A verified voter in Albuquerque, NM

March 31

I’m following up on my March 26, 2025, email regarding the Signal breach, now compounded by Pete Hegseth and his family’s security violations. This situation demands your immediate action—not only to ensure accountability but also because we are unaware of what other undisclosed conversations may have violated protocol. Furthermore, the dangerous precedent this sets undermines the sacrifices of those risking their lives to protect our nation. Critical Issues Requiring Your Leadership 1. Blatant Security Violations - Pete Hegseth’s unsecured handling of classified materials - Jennifer Rauchet Hegseth’s uncleared access to sensitive discussions - Phil Hegseth’s potential violation of 18 U.S. Code, Section 207 2. The Devastating Message to Our Armed Forces
When service members witness junior personnel court-martialed for minor infractions (e.g., misplaced classified documents) while high-ranking officials face no consequences for major breaches it: - Undermines faith in military justice ("One set of rules for us, another for them") - Erodes operational security discipline ("Why follow protocols if leadership doesn’t?") - Damages recruitment and retention of top security talent 3. Tangible National Security Risks - Foreign adversaries exploit these double standards in propaganda campaigns - Morale damage directly impacts operational readiness (per 2024 RAND study on military cohesion) I urge you to: - Immediately convene hearings investigating these violations - Demand suspensions of all involved pending investigation - Introduce legislation mandating equal accountability regardless of rank or connections and public clearance verification for private advisors The brave individuals protecting our nation deserve leaders who uphold the same discipline and integrity they are expected to maintain—and who safeguard the systems they risk their lives to defend. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.
