The Honorable Steve Scalise

Majority Leader, U.S. House of Representatives

266 Cannon HOB

Washington, D.C. 20515

Dear Leader Scalise,

We write on behalf of Americans for Good Government (AGG), a citizen accountability organization founded by former Congressman Ken Buck and dedicated to confronting the national debt, exposing waste and fraud in federal programs, and restoring fiscal responsibility to American governance. Our mission is straightforward: arm citizens with the facts they need to hold Washington accountable.

That mission is why we are writing to you about H.R. 8312, the Fraud Prevention and Accountability Act, introduced by Representative Pete Sessions and ordered reported by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on April 29 by a vote of 23–17.

The case for this bill is plain. The GAO estimates that the federal government loses between $233 billion and $521 billion every year to fraud. The high end of that range exceeds the entire annual budget of the Department of Education. Recent committee investigations into Minnesota welfare fraud and California hospice fraud have made clear that the problem is not theoretical — it is structural, and it is bleeding the programs Americans depend on.

H.R. 8312 addresses this head-on. It establishes a permanent Inspector General for Fraud, Accountability, and Recovery within the Treasury, preserves the anti-fraud analytics built during the pandemic before they expire in 2028, and shifts the federal posture from reactive “pay-and-chase” to proactive prevention. It is exactly the kind of permanent, structural reform AGG was founded to champion. As Congressman Buck has long argued, every dollar lost to fraud is a dollar not going to Social Security, not reducing the deficit, and not serving the Americans who paid for it.

Congressman Buck served almost ten years in the House and knows firsthand how easily good legislation can stall once it leaves committee. AGG was created in part to prevent that outcome — to ensure that citizens, not special interests, decide which reforms get heard. Once the committee files its report and the bill is placed on the Union Calendar, AGG respectfully urges you to schedule H.R. 8312 for prompt consideration on the House floor. Bills like this one are why your members were sent to Washington. Letting it languish would send the wrong message to taxpayers who are watching closely.

We stand ready to support this effort publicly and to mobilize our supporters in its favor. Thank you for your leadership and your attention to this critical legislation.

Sincerely,

Americans For Good Government

Here's where we stand:

H.R. 8312 cleared the House Oversight Committee 23–17. It has everything we've been fighting for — a permanent Inspector General at Treasury, anti-fraud data tools locked in before they expire in 2028, and a structural shift away from the broken "pay-and-chase" model that lets billions walk out the door every year.

But committee passage means nothing if leadership never calls it for a floor vote. That's exactly how good bills die — not in a fight, but in silence.

We're not letting that happen.

Add your name to our official letter to Steve Scalise and demand a vote on the Fraud Prevention & Accountability Act now. [[link removed]]

Friend, the fraud doesn't stop until someone forces it to.

That someone is us.

Thank you,
