Patriot, 

You and I were raised to love this country. 

To believe America could do anything. 

Land on the moon. Win the Cold War. Build the greatest nation on earth. 

And NASA? It was America’s crown jewel. 

But now…Houston, we have a problem.  

We just dug into NASA’s books. 

In 2024, NASA spent $24 billion of your money.

But instead of just launching rockets… 

They started pushing politics. 

DEI — Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion — has taken over NASA. 

• We found talks trashing Thanksgiving ... 
• Grants teaching “environmental justice” ... 
• And road tours screening government-made documentaries about race. 

All funded with YOUR tax dollars. 

NASA was built to break the sound barrier. Not to break America apart. 

And it gets worse... 

We found $6.4 billion in contracts to Boeing — even after they couldn’t bring two astronauts home from space. 

• We found $145 million going to “miscellaneous administration.” 
• $42 million on human resources. 
• $25 million on public affairs. 

And the Artemis moon mission? 

It’s now $6 billion over budget and 11 years behind schedule. 

That’s why I’m writing to you today. 

We just released our brand-new report: Ground Control to Major Waste 

It’s the most comprehensive grassroots investigation of NASA EVER done. 

We followed EVERY dime. We mapped EVERY dollar. 

And now, we’re telling the American people. 

Will you chip in $25 or any amount you can give today and help us blast this thing wide open? I’ll send you a FREE copy of the report as my thanks.

Open the Books is the largest private database of public spending in history. 

We’ve compiled over 10 billion rows of data — including 1.1 billion expenditures, 172 million salaries and pensions, and spending from 110,000+ government entities. 

In 2022 alone, we filed 50,000 FOIA requests and captured 25 million salary records. 

We even cracked open California’s state checkbook — the first time in American history. 

All of it is searchable, free, and available 24/7 at OpenTheBooks.com. 

And we’ve done it without taking a single dime from the government. 

That’s how we keep our mission clean — and our aim sharp. 

If we want to change this country, we’ve got to start with the truth. 

And the truth is... 

DEI activism is still entrenched in nearly every part of government — even NASA. 

But now? 

We’ve got a shot to take it back. 

Americans are tired of the blame. The division. The “Woke” slogans.  

They just want the government to work effectively again.  

They want it to work efficiently for them and their fellow Americans.  

And you — yes, you — can help Open the Books give them that. 

This new oversight report on NASA is one of several we have conducted over the years – a veritable library of transparency made possible thanks to generous supporters like you.  

We’ve done the research. Our investigation is complete.  

Now we need to tell the country about what we’ve found.  

Doing so will only advance the cause of transparency – and, by extension, the cause of freedom and democracy.  

Will you stand with us today and make a gift? Every donation makes a difference when we all chip in. 

And don’t forget – if you donate to Open the Books today, I’ll send you a FREE copy of Ground Control to Major Waste as a token of my gratitude.  

Do you remember how NASA used to unite this country? 

Let’s make it a symbol of greatness again — not government waste. 

With you on our side, I have no doubt we will.  

Thank you for your timely consideration of support for Open the Books and our oversight of government spending today.  

For Liberty,

John Hart
