The Cabinet Doesn’t Want To Hear From You

Update October 16, 2025: Added Senate Majority Leader, Speaker of the House, and House Republican Conference Chair

I spent most of an afternoon hunting down the mailing addresses for every cabinet member. It was not easy. The truth is simple: they prefer your complaint be a line in a web form—neat, searchable, and easy to archive away. Paper requires effort; effort requires attention.

That is exactly why you should affix a stamp, address an envelope, and send something they cannot file with a click. Send your thoughts, your grievances, your reasoning. Put them into the world as paper. Make them occupy a moment of someone’s time: in a mailbag, on a desk, in a hand.

In this post I will list the mailing addresses for cabinet-level officials, the Vice President, and the First Lady. You may send The Trump Letter alone, but I recommend pairing it with a clear, civil, well-reasoned personal letter. Be precise. Be honest. Do not threaten—threats will bring legal consequences or an unwelcome visit from authorities.

— Frank Artinghard

P.S. I am loathe to call any of these people “honorable.” Yet that is the title their egos insist upon. Handpicked by President Trump, they are, by definition, sycophants. Still, I allow for the possibility that one or two might retain a mind of their own

The Honorable [Recipient]
[Address]

Dear [Mr./Ms./Mrs.]

I write to you not only as a citizen but as someone deeply concerned about the course of our republic and the example being set by President Donald Trump. The moment before us is not an ordinary one. It calls for clarity, courage, and moral conviction from those entrusted with the highest offices of our government.

President Trump’s record and conduct—his disregard for democratic institutions and his repeated use of inflammatory rhetoric—represent a profound danger to the stability and credibility of our nation. His actions are not those of a leader seeking to unite, but of one willing to divide and weaken the very fabric of our democracy for personal gain.

At times like these, history does not remember those who stood quietly on the sidelines. It remembers those who chose to act, even when the cost was high. As President John F. Kennedy wrote in Profiles in Courage, “In whatever arena of life one may meet the challenge of courage, whatever may be the sacrifices he faces if he follows his conscience—the loss of his friends, his fortune, his contentment, even the esteem of his fellow men—each man must decide for himself the course he will follow.”

You are in a rare position of influence. Your voice matters. Your decision to stand publicly against President Trump’s continued attempts to distort and destabilize our democratic processes would not only strengthen the resolve of others but also set an example for the next generation of leaders. Silence, on the other hand, risks complicity, and history will not look kindly on those who chose the easier path of accommodation over the harder path of principle.

I urge you to take a stand—openly, firmly, and unequivocally—against President Trump and his ongoing threats to democratic norms. Encourage your colleagues, your peers, and the broader public to do the same. The American people deserve to know that those in positions of trust are guided not by expedience or fear, but by a commitment to truth, justice, and the preservation of our constitutional order.

The future of our nation depends not only on the strength of its institutions but also on the courage of its leaders. I believe you have the ability—and the responsibility—to be one of those leaders.

With urgency and respect,

[Your Full Name]
