Subject: Please Support Restoring USAID and Strengthening U.S. Diplomacy

Dear [Senator/Representative Last Name],
I am writing as a constituent from [Your City/State] to urge you to support the restoration of USAID as an independent, fully funded agency and to reinvest in U.S. diplomatic capacity.
Recent cuts to international aid and State Department staffing undermine American leadership and weaken our ability to respond to global health crises, strengthen alliances, and promote democratic values. Rebuilding USAID and restoring foreign service positions are crucial for national security, economic stability, and global partnerships that benefit us here at home.
Please support legislation that:
 Restores USAID as a standalone agency with adequate funding (at least 0.3% of GDP).

Reverses staff reductions and strengthens training for Foreign Service officers.

Reestablishes programs focused on global health, food security, and democratic development.

Thank you for your leadership and commitment to a strong, engaged America.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

Subject: Strengthen Our Security Through Diplomacy and Global Engagement

Dear [Senator/Representative Last Name],
As your constituent from [Your City/State], I am deeply concerned about the recent cuts to USAID and reductions in State Department staffing.
Robust foreign aid and diplomacy are essential tools for preventing global crises before they reach our borders. From controlling infectious disease outbreaks to stabilizing fragile regions, these programs make Americans safer and strengthen our economic and strategic partnerships.
I strongly urge you to:
 Support restoring USAID funding and independence.

Reinstate critical diplomatic positions and expand training for foreign service officers.

Establish strong oversight to ensure strategic use of resources through a Global Engagement Scorecard.

These investments protect our families, create opportunities for American businesses, and promote peace.
Thank you for considering my views.
Sincerely,

Subject: Restore U.S. Global Leadership Through Aid and Diplomacy

Dear [Senator/Representative Last Name],
I am writing from [Your City/State] to ask that you support the full restoration and strengthening of USAID and our diplomatic corps.
The U.S. has long been a beacon of hope and leadership around the world. Cutting foreign aid and scaling back diplomacy diminishes our ability to promote democratic values, respond to humanitarian crises, and support global stability.
I encourage you to:
 Restore USAID as an independent, well-funded agency.

Invest in professional development for foreign service officers and civil servants.

Rebuild and expand programs that promote global health, education, and economic opportunity.

Now is the time to reaffirm our commitment to a safer, more just, and more prosperous world.
Thank you for your attention to this critical issue.
Sincerely,
