This bill would make federal agencies review every position and report which ones are unnecessary. Until an agency loses 20% of its workforce, it can only hire one person for every four who leave. Agencies must also plan to close or merge offices deemed redundant.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Who this affects: This bill directly impacts federal employees across the executive branch, people seeking federal jobs, and anyone who depends on services provided by federal agencies.
Why this matters: The federal workforce carries out everything from processing Social Security checks to managing national parks. Shrinking it by 20% or more could change how well and how fast the government delivers services to millions of people.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
