Template to Congress:
Dear [Congressperson’s Name],
It is imperative that the United States remains vigilant against foreign influence in our political system, including interference from our allies. Australia, as a member of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, has been involved in intelligence-sharing operations that directly impact American political discourse. Recent reports suggest that Australian intelligence agencies have collected and disseminated politically sensitive data on American citizens, candidates, and policymakers, circumventing U.S. laws that prohibit domestic surveillance of our own citizens.
By exploiting intelligence-sharing agreements, Australia has the ability to influence U.S. elections, sway public opinion, and shape policies that align with its own national interests rather than those of the American people. This is a direct threat to our democratic sovereignty and must be addressed immediately.
Congress must investigate the extent of Australia’s involvement in U.S. politics and ensure that intelligence-sharing agreements do not allow foreign governments to interfere with our electoral system. No foreign nation—ally or otherwise—should have the power to shape American democracy.
