Block Hegseth, protect national security

Pete Hegseth’s record speaks volumes: unfit, unqualified, and embroiled in controversy. Let’s stop this dangerous nomination. [Democracy for America Advocacy Fund](#) {NAME}, The Department of Defense must uphold values that transcend partisanship: accountability, equity, and integrity. Pete Hegseth’s nomination as Defense Secretary flies in the face of our principles. His history of extremist views, misconduct, and disregard for democratic norms make him a dangerous and unacceptable choice. Hegseth has openly criticized diversity efforts and suggested purging military leaders he deems too “woke.” This isn’t just rhetoric, it’s a threat to a foundational democratic principle: a government accountable to all, not just the select few. His confirmation would inject harmful partisanship into the defense sector, turning it into a weapon for political agendas. Even worse, Hegseth’s career is riddled with allegations of sexual assault, financial mismanagement, and creating hostile workplaces. His approach to leadership prioritizes loyalty over merit and ideology over justice, an affront to the very idea of democratic accountability. We cannot allow someone with a history of misconduct and divisive rhetoric to occupy one of the highest offices in government. Media reports over the last two days are that Hegseth’s nomination might already be on the rocks. Let’s add more wood to the fire and deliver grassroots pressure to make it official. [Fight for democracy, transparency, and fairness. Call on the Senate to reject Pete Hegseth’s nomination as Secretary of Defense now.]( [SIGN & SEND]( Confirming Pete Hegseth isn’t just a bad personnel decision, it’s a dangerous precedent. His track record raises questions about his judgment, ethics, and commitment to the values of democracy and accountability. The American people deserve leaders who respect democracy, uphold fairness, and lead with integrity. We cannot allow a nominee who fails so thoroughly to meet these standards to ascend to such a critical role. Democracy thrives when we hold our leaders to high standards. Pete Hegseth’s nomination threatens to undermine those standards and weaken public trust in our institutions. That’s why we must block his confirmation and protect the integrity of our democracy. [Help stop this dangerous nomination and protect democratic values. Make it clear to the Senate: Pete Hegseth is unfit for public office.]( Together, we can stop this dangerous nomination and protect the democratic values we all hold dear. - Amanda Amanda Ford, Director Democracy for America Advocacy Fund [Power This Campaign]( Democracy for America Advocacy Fund is a 501c4 organization.
