Summary: Carol Lea Saunders opposes the proposed design of the US passport because she believes including a photo of President Trump is partisan and undermines the non-partisan nature of the document. She argues that such a design would make the United States appear to be governed by an authoritarian regime.
Dear Secretary Rubio,
I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed design of our US passport that includes a photo of President Trump.
A US passport is non partisan, not a place for the current president to use his vanity. This idea of Mr. Trumps makes us look like a country that is run by a dictator with an authoritarian regime, which that would make you part of, you are better than this!
We are all proud to be citizens of this country, and we want to be part of it no matter our political affiliation.
Thank you for your time and your service to our country,
Carol Lea Saunders
