Immediate Request for Public Testimony on Military Deployments in American Cities
Secretary Hegseth
Pete Hegseth is refusing to answer basic bipartisan questions about why U.S. troops are being sent into American cities — and that silence puts people at risk. Senators from both parties, along with veterans, military families, and taxpayers, have asked for answers. Instead, Secretary Hegseth is stonewalling.
And now, ahead of Thursday's December 11 Senate hearing, his refusal to engage is even more troubling. Dodging accountability erodes trust, undermines readiness, and leaves the public in the dark about decisions that affect our communities.
Add your name to demand that Secretary Hegseth testify publicly and explain these deployments. Real leaders don't hide from oversight — they answer to the people.

[Your Name]
As veterans, military families, taxpayers, and supporters of accountable leadership, we call on you to testify before Congress regarding recent and ongoing military deployments in American cities.
These operations have raised urgent, bipartisan concerns. Even Republican members of the U.S. Senate have requested basic information that your office has failed to provide. With Senator Duckworth's committee holding a crucial oversight hearing this Thursday, December 11, the need for transparency is more urgent than ever. Your refusal to answer is unacceptable.
We know what accountability looks like. We expect clarity about the cost, readiness impacts, and mission associated with these deployments. In a democracy, public oversight is not optional — it is a fundamental responsibility of leadership.
Your continued refusal to engage has already hindered lawmakers' ability to conduct meaningful oversight. If this silence continues — especially during this week's hearing — it will only reinforce the perception across the country that you are unwilling to show up when leadership and transparency matter most.
We urge you to testify immediately and provide the answers the American people deserve.
