Please call your Senators and ask that they vote NO on Vought.

It only takes a couple of minutes to call your Senators and tell them to vote NO on Russell Vought for director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Vought is considered the key architect of Project 2025.

Find your Senators' contact numbers at this link:

That's why it's so important to call your Senators now regardless of whether they are Democrats or Repubs.

Yes, Russell Vought is the main author of Project 2025 which we know is the plan to destroy our democracy and we know that the felon-in-chief is following this playbook.

Got through to Cornyn's VM.

Finally, finally got through Ted Cruz's VM in DC. I rattled off No to Gabbard, RFK Jr, Patel and Vought. Usually I make separate calls for each nominee, but Cruz's lines were all busy and I didn't want to take chance on that happening again.
