Call Your Senators and Tell Them to Oppose Kash Patel’s Nomination as FBI Director
Trump has nominated MAGA extremist Kash Patel as the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Patel, who has publicly announced his intention to weaponize the FBI against journalists, government officials, nonprofit organizations, and ordinary Americans, would take the bureau in an unprecedented and dangerous direction.
He explicitly vowed to punish those who refused to promote Republicans’ Big Lie about the 2020 election, saying: “We’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections. We’re going to come after you.” This sets a dangerous precedent for using federal law enforcement as a political weapon.
Even during Trump’s first term, Patel’s appointment to a senior FBI position was blocked—not by Democrats, but by Bill Barr, Trump’s handpicked Attorney General. Barr reportedly said “over my dead body” when Trump tried to establish Patel as second-in-command at the FBI. If someone as loyal to Trump as Barr found Patel unfit, it speaks volumes about the risks of allowing him to lead the agency.
The FBI already has a long and troubling history of targeting individuals who challenge power while often letting corporate criminals and billionaires go unchecked. But appointing Patel would not be a step toward accountability or reform.

Kash Patel is Unfit to Lead: Oppose His Nomination as FBI Director
Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m calling from [City/Town/Part of State] to urge Senator [Name] to oppose any effort to confirm Kash Patel as FBI Director.
Kash Patel’s appointment would fundamentally undermine the rule of law and the integrity of our federal institutions. He has openly declared his intention to use the FBI as a political weapon, targeting journalists, government officials, and nonprofit organizations. He even said, “We will go out and find the conspirators not just in government, but in the media.”
The FBI needs strong, unbiased leadership to rebuild public trust and address its shortcomings— Americans deserve that, too. But Patel’s vision is transforming the FBI into a tool solely to advance Donald Trump’s agendas.
Even Trump’s former Attorney General, Bill Barr, rejected Patel’s appointment as second-in-command, recognizing the dangers Patel represents.
Confirming Kash Patel would cement the weaponization of our justice system. Senators, regardless of party, must oppose this.
I strongly urge Senator [Name] to stand up for the rule of law and protect our democratic institutions by opposing any effort to confirm Kash Patel as FBI Director.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
