SAMPLE LETTER
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to express my deep concern about what I view as the Trump administration’s rhetoric and policies toward disabled Americans, seniors, veterans, and other vulnerable populations. Actions such as cutting the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), imposing enrollment moratoriums for medical equipment and supplies, reducing nursing positions, and interfering with end-of-life care decisions have raised serious concerns about the administration’s priorities.
I am also troubled by efforts to defund or oppose legislation intended to assist veterans, people with disabilities, women’s reproductive rights, and individuals experiencing homelessness. Repeated proposals involving the privatization of Social Security, negative portrayals of Social Security beneficiaries, and discussions about raising the retirement age further contribute to these concerns. Additionally, the administration has, at times, dismissed accessibility initiatives as being too “woke,” which many view as disregarding the needs of people with disabilities.
Taken together, these actions and statements suggest a lack of compassion and respect for some of the nation’s most vulnerable citizens. In my view, effective leadership should prioritize the well-being and dignity of all Americans. The examples below illustrate the basis for my concerns and frustration. Some are included primarily to provide context for the broader pattern I believe they represent.
Chronology.
1973-01-22 Roe v. Wade legalized abortion.
1982-01-01 Televangelist Jerry Falwell founded Virginia’s Liberty Godparent Home as an alternative to abortion. Former residents alleged coercion, shame, manipulation, forced birth, and pressured adoptions.
1994-01-01 Evangelicals pushed a national “purity” movement containing distorted and misleading information, racist stereotypes and anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric.
2001-09-09 Republicans restricted federal funding for STEM cell research, limiting life-changing possibilities for regenerative medicine and destroying the path to curing things like Parkinson’s, diabetes, and heart failure.
2005-01-01 RFK Jr. published, “Deadly Immunity”, claiming government health agencies colluded with big pharma to hide the dangers of vaccines.
2012-03-01 Rush Limbaugh attacked women asking for birth control, “So, Ms. Fluke and the rest of you feminazis, here’s the deal: If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex, we want something for it. And I’ll tell you what it is. We want you to post the videos online so we can all watch”.
2014-01-01 The Affordable Care Act was fully implemented. This legislation was designed to prohibit insurers from denying coverage or charging more based on pre-existing conditions, and to stop lifetime caps. It also mandated a standard level of care for insurance plans.
2014-06-24 The GOP repeatedly attacked Michelle Obama for her efforts to introduce a nutrition program in schools that leaned heavily towards fresh fruits and vegetables.

2019-01-01 Alt-right women’s magazine Evie was founded by the Hugoboom family. Its 2024 cover featured “Ballerina Farm” and “The Importance of Being Sexy,” promoting the trad-wife movement. Hugoboom also launched the “Toxic Breakup” supplement, marketed to “detox the body” after stopping birth control. In 2022, the owners launched a menstrual-tracking app funded by Peter Thiel that drew controversy for its pro-life rhetoric.
2020-03-24 Trump falsely claimed that COVID would “disappear” by Easter.

2020-04-23 During a COVID press conference, Trump mused over injecting disinfectant as treatment. When a reporter told Trump to stop spreading dangerous misinformation Trump lashed out.
2020-09-11 The first Trump administration withheld healthcare funds for FDNY’s 9/11 responders. GOP members frequently post “Never Forget”, but then they turn around and forget our heroes.
2020-11-20 Jay Bhattacharya authored the Great Barrington Declaration in 2020 which argued against COVID lockdowns even before vaccines were developed. In 2026 he was the acting CDC director who blocked COVID vaccination reports.
2020-11-24 Vance said on The Chris Buskirk Show, “There’s just these basic cadences of life that I think are really powerful and really valuable when you have kids in your life. And the fact that so many people, especially in America’s leadership class, just don’t have that in their lives, you know, I worry that it makes people more sociopathic and ultimately our whole country a little bit less…less mentally stable”.
2021-01-01 RFK Jr.’s Children’s Health Defense published The Measles Book; Thirty-Give Secrets the Government and the Media Aren’t Telling You, to push the conspiracy that the government and media are hiding vaccine information.
2021-04-15 Sixty-three Republicans voted against the COVID 19 Hate Crimes Act, also called the Anti-Asian Hate Crime Bill.
2021-05-20 A civil rights group sued Trump for referring to COVID as “Chinese Virus”, “China Virus”, “Wuhan Virus”, and “Kung Flu Virus”. Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer posted, “Wait a minute… After months of being told it was racist to refer to COVID as a ‘Chinese virus’ the WP refers to its new strains as ‘British and South African variants.’ So you can use the name of the nation where it comes from, so long as that nation is not China. Got it.”
2021-06-01 Some vaccine skeptics promoted ivermectin (horse dewormer) as a COVID treatment, later citing Merck’s Pentagon oral-treatment deal as supposed proof.

2022-06-24 When the courts overturned Roe v. Wade Justice Samuel Alito asserted that abortion didn’t have anything to do with gender equity, wasn’t an economic issue, and claimed that “women are not without electoral or political power”, contradicting evidence of racial divide, demographic disparities, and sometimes women having no power because they are not given agency in circumstances of abuse.
2022-06-24 After the Trump administration overturned Roe v. Wade, the ability to ban contraception was returned to the States. This left several health organizations afraid to offer contraception for fear of breaking the law. One Attorney General nominee even compared birth control to fentanyl.

2022-07-28 Matt Gaetz mocked abortion-rights supporters at Turning Point Action, saying, “Why is it that the women with the least likelihood of getting pregnant are the ones most worried about having abortions? Nobody wants to impregnate you if you look like a thumb”.
2022-08-19 Amber Thurman died after delayed abortion-related care under restrictive state laws. Trump later dismissed questions about the case during a Fox forum. Amber passed away from preventable septic shock and retained products of conception following a medication abortion, with delays in receiving necessary medical care contributing to her death. The care was delayed because when she showed up at Piedmont Henry Hospital for a routine D&C to remove fetal tissue from her body that hadn’t been expelled, she was denied immediate treatment because her State had made performing the procedure a felony. Doctors would have been prosecuted for up to a decade in prison. She waited 20 hours in a hospital bed while providers monitored her blood pressure sinking and organ failure before they operated, but by then it was too late. During a forum with Fox News on women’s issues, Trump was asked, ”…Amber Thurman’s family have come out on a press call and they’re doing what’s called a prebuttal to our town hall right now…” to which Trump replied ”…Oh that’s nice. We’ll get better ratings, I promise.”*
