Urge your Senators to oppose Tulsi Gabbards nomination as Director of National Intelligence
Trump has nominated Tulsi Gabbard to serve as Director of National Intelligence (DNI), the individual responsible for overseeing the intelligence community and safeguarding America’s national security. What exactly is the purpose of this role? It’s critical for protecting U.S. interests, ensuring unbiased intelligence analysis, and maintaining the independence of agencies like the CIA and NSA.
Tulsi Gabbard is fundamentally unfit for this role. Gabbard has a history of amplifying Russian propaganda, including repeating debunked claims about U.S.-funded Biolabs in Ukraine, a narrative used by Russia to justify its invasion. She has also shared content from Russian state media outlets like RT, which is known for disseminating propaganda aimed at undermining U.S. interests. These actions raise serious questions about her ability to lead an intelligence community that relies on accuracy and credibility.
Gabbard’s engagement with foreign adversaries goes a step further in undermining her suitability for the role. In 2017, she met with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a dictator responsible for war crimes and human rights atrocities, and refused to condemn him as an enemy of the United States. Her willingness to align herself with adversaries like Assad and Putin demonstrates a disregard for the principles and priorities of U.S. foreign policy.
National security experts and veterans have publicly criticized Gabbard, calling her a “dangerous” choice for such a pivotal role. The Director of National Intelligence needs to be independent and committed to protecting the American people, but Gabbard’s record shows a pattern of shifting her views to align with powerful figures, including Trump and authoritarian leaders. Her record raises red flags showing that she would prioritize loyalty to political figures over the safety and security of the nation.
The nomination of Tulsi Gabbard to serve as DNI represents a significant threat to the integrity of America’s intelligence community. Her past actions, affiliations, and public statements suggest she would undermine the very institutions she is supposed to lead, making the country more vulnerable to foreign adversaries and political influence.
The Senate must reject this nomination and ensure that the position of Director of National Intelligence is filled by someone with the integrity, experience, and commitment to national security that this role demands.

Vote NO on Gabbard nomination
Hello, I’m a constituent from [part of state], and I’m calling to ask Senator [Name] to vote NO on the nomination for Tulsi Gabbard to be the Director of National Intelligence.
The role of the DNI requires an unwavering commitment to evidence-based decision-making, national security, and independence from political or foreign influence. Tulsi Gabbard’s troubling record demonstrates she is unfit for this critical position.
Gabbard has a history of amplifying Russian propaganda, including repeating unsubstantiated claims from Russian state media about U.S.-funded Biolabs in Ukraine—falsehoods used by Russia to justify its invasion. She has also met with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a leader responsible for human rights atrocities, and refused to condemn him as an enemy of the United States. These actions raise serious concerns about her judgment and alignment with American values.
National security experts and veterans have described Gabbard as a “dangerous” choice for DNI. Her track record of prioritizing political expediency over national security would undermine the independence and integrity of our intelligence community.
The position of the DNI is too important to be entrusted to someone with such a controversial and troubling history. I strongly urge Senator [Senator’s Name] to oppose Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination and ensure this vital role is filled by a leader who prioritizes the safety, security, and integrity of the American people.
Will Senator [Name] oppose Gabbard's nomination? The American people do NOT want her to oversee our national intelligence.
