Then write your congressperson about the GPS system in general. And
NASA is the main agency in the satellite business (cf. the weather
satellites we all depend on) and could well launch the replacements
for GPS, if any.

P.S.: And if you want to continue to use GPS, you might drop a
note to your Congressperson about funding for NASA. GPS depends
on a set of aging satellites and, AFAIK, there are no replacements
in the pipeline.
The GPS system is owned and operated by the U.S. Air Force. NASA
has nothing to do with GPS, other than being a possible customer/user.
