[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Call your Senator - this exact issue was the subject of an amendment by Rep. Connolly in the NDAA that has already been passed in the House.

Thank you for posting this pp. I will call my Senator about it.

I am a fed in a policymaking managerial position, and I would certainly be at risk, even with 20 years in. Aside from that, all American should be concerned about Schedule F.  Our Federal workforce has its major flaws, but having a professional and non-political federal service is the backbone of this country.  I am so glad to see this legislative initiative bc most of the American public will not know/understand/care about the implications of this topic. [/quote]

I think it would be great. If you are in a “policymaking” position, you should be subject to democratic accountability, period.  It’s shocking how many people seem to feel like it’s ok that so many critically important decisions are being made by people with zero accountability to the electorate. The administrative state is beyond out of control and needs to be reined in.  And “non-political” is a joke, federal civil service personnel are Democrats almost to a person.  [/quote]

I don’t know the political leanings of my federal colleagues, but I know that many career employees were concerned about actions by the last administration. Actions that appeared to violate laws, were completely unrealistic, or result in unintended consequences. That doesn’t make them partisan. Schedule F is a threat intended to have a chilling effect so feds don’t voice their opinion, state the adverse consequences of a policy, or speak up when something is illegal. If you think that’s far-fetched, then you work at an agency insulated from this nonsense. [/quote]
