Subject: Demand to Permanently Close USAID and End Reckless Foreign Aid

Dear [Representative/Senator’s Name],

We, the undersigned citizens and taxpayers of the United States, urge you to take immediate action to defund and permanently close the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). For too long, USAID has misused billions of taxpayer dollars, operated with little transparency, and prioritized foreign interests over the urgent needs of Americans at home. It is time to put an end to this wasteful and ineffective agency once and for all.

Here is why USAID Must Be Shut Down Permanently:

1) Taxpayer Money Should Serve Americans First

At a time when our own nation faces economic hardships, failing infrastructure, a border crisis, and struggling veterans, we cannot afford to send billions overseas with little to no accountability.

USAID diverts critical funds from pressing domestic priorities while offering little tangible return for American citizens.

2) Chronic Waste, Corruption, and Lack of Accountability

USAID has a long history of mismanaged funds, with aid often falling into the hands of corrupt foreign governments, criminal organizations, and extremist groups.

Billions in U.S. tax dollars have been lost to fraud and inefficiency, with little oversight or measurable success.

3) Foreign Dependency and Failed Development Efforts

Instead of fostering self-sufficiency, USAID’s long-term aid programs have encouraged dependence on U.S. funding, leaving recipient nations without incentives to reform and grow independently.

Many USAID programs have failed to generate sustainable economic improvements, proving that foreign aid is not the solution.

4) Political Meddling and Undermining Sovereignty

USAID has been used as a tool for political influence, interfering in foreign elections, supporting regime changes, and funding ideological initiatives that do not align with U.S. interests.
This is an unacceptable misuse of taxpayer money and contradicts America’s commitment to sovereignty and non-interventionism.

5) Foreign Aid Has Become a Burden, Not a Benefit

The United States cannot continue funding foreign aid programs that weaken local economies abroad, distort trade, and undermine the principles of free markets.
Other countries should take responsibility for their own development, while America focuses on its own citizens.

Our Demand:

We call on you, as our elected representative, to take immediate legislative action to not only defund USAID but to permanently dismantle the agency. This is not a call for reform or reduction—it is a demand for complete elimination. American taxpayers should not be forced to fund an agency that prioritizes global handouts over our own national interests.

We will be watching closely to see how you vote on this critical issue and will hold accountable those who refuse to put America first. The era of reckless, unaccountable foreign aid must end now.

Respectfully,
