Stand Up for Our Military
To: Rep. Crank
From: A verified voter in Colorado Springs, CO
March 27
I am deeply concerned that top Cabinet officials—including the Vice President, Secretary of Defense, and National Security Adviser—were caught using a commercial messaging app to discuss secret war plans for Yemen this week. Shockingly, they accidentally included a journalist in the group chat. This alarming breach of national security not only highlights the gross incompetence of the Trump administration, but also underscores the growing disregard for the chain of command, oversight, and the rule of law. It also represents a huge risk to our national security as well as to all those who serve in our military. It’s terrifying, infuriating, and unacceptable. What would be the response by Republicans if this happened under a Democrat’s watch?
This level of carelessness would be unthinkable under a functional democratic administration. But under Trump, it's just another day in a government increasingly run by loyalty over competence, secrecy over transparency, and militarism over diplomacy. When will Congress speak out against it?
As my representative and member of the Armed Forces Committee, I want you to call for the immediate resignations of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and National Security Advisor Michael Waltz. This breach is so dangerous to our armed forces, one of whom is my brother.
Do your job, and represent your constituents, otherwise you will soon be out of a job. Thanks.
