Mr. President,
And Directors Musk and Ramaswamy:
I write to you today on behalf of the citizens of Appomattox, Virginia, with a proposal that aligns with the values of efficiency, reform, and historic significance that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) embodies. Appomattox is a town with a unique legacy in American history, having been the place where the Civil War concluded, symbolizing a pivotal step toward unity and the strengthening of our nation. There could be no better location for the headquarters of DOGE as it undertakes a mission to renew and reshape our government for a more prosperous future.
Appomattox offers an ideal environment for this ambitious new agency, strategically located within reach of the National Capital Region but far enough removed to allow for impartial, honest decision-making without outside influence. Here in Appomattox, DOGE would have the space and freedom to develop and implement transformative reforms that reflect the will of the American people rather than the pressures and distractions that can come with a location directly inside Washington, D.C. Our community’s values of integrity, accountability, and patriotism align perfectly with DOGE’s mission.
The citizens of Appomattox stand ready to support the agency with our resources, infrastructure, and a welcoming community eager to contribute to this transformative movement in American governance. We have available land and facilities that could be adapted to meet the operational needs of DOGE efficiently, ensuring a seamless transition and rapid start to its mission. Our location also provides easy access to federal and state agencies, facilitating coordination without compromising DOGE’s commitment to independence.
Placing the headquarters of the Department of Government Efficiency in Appomattox would serve as a meaningful tribute to our nation’s journey from division to unity. It would inspire Americans across the country by showing that real change is born in the heartland, where our country’s values run deepest.
Thank you for considering Appomattox, Virginia, as the proud future home of the Department of Government Efficiency. Our community stands ready to contribute to and uphold the mission of DOGE as it serves the American people.
Respectfully,
N.A.Simpson
Appomattox, Virginia
