Dear Senator / Representative:

I would like you to strengthen legislation against Cabinet officials using taxpayer-paid transportation for personal and campaign trips. There must be real penalties for this waste of taxpayer money.

If there are no penalties associated with the behavior, Congress needs to amend the law and make the penalties severe.

In August, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. joined Iowa GOP candidates on an Air Force-operated Gulfstream jet, according to Washington Post reporting. The visit to Iowa was strictly a campaign event; there was no business conducted. The Hatch Act of 1939 prohibits the use of federal funds for campaign activities.

Throughout his term as FBI director, Kash Patel has used FBI aircraft on personal trips to see his girlfriend. Empty criticism followed and no one compensated the taxpayers for this waste of government funds.

The men involved should be required to reimburse the taxpayers for their improper use of government aircraft. In Kennedy’s case, the Hatch Act violation should lead to his removal from federal office.

Congress should be on top of this disregard for the people’s property. Call it out. Hold public hearings, total up the taxpayer dollars used, and reclaim it from the personal finances of these cabinet officials.
