Template to Congress:
Dear [Congressperson’s Name],
It is a fundamental principle of our democracy that American elections should be free from foreign interference. However, recent findings suggest that intelligence agencies from the Five Eyes alliance—including the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand—have played a role in influencing our political landscape by sharing intelligence that impacts election outcomes.
By using foreign intelligence-sharing agreements, U.S. agencies can access information that would otherwise be restricted under American law. This effectively creates a backdoor for foreign governments to influence political narratives, silence dissent, and manipulate media coverage in ways that shape voter perception. Such interference, even from allied nations, is a direct threat to our sovereignty and democratic processes.
Congress must act now to close these intelligence loopholes. Any agreement that allows foreign agencies to collect and share data that influences U.S. elections must be thoroughly investigated and regulated. The American people deserve full transparency and assurances that our elections are determined solely by American voters—not by the interests of foreign intelligence agencies.
