Stop unconstitutional overreach, defend democracy against rogue administration

To: Sen. Padilla, Sen. Schiff, Rep. Swalwell, Pres. Trump

From: A verified voter in Union City, CA

February 25

The administration's actions are a blatant violation of the Constitution and the rule of law. By treating Congressional budgets as mere suggestions and willfully disregarding the legislative branch's power of the purse, the executive is undermining our democratic system of checks and balances. This criminal conduct cannot be tolerated or enabled. I urge you to take a principled stand and refuse to provide any assistance on budget matters until the President ceases his unconstitutional overreach. The abolition of critical government agencies and services through executive fiat is causing immense harm to the American people and federal workers. It is your sworn duty to defend the Constitution against such abuses of power. Refusing to negotiate until this lawlessness ends is not an unreasonable demand. The legislative branch must reassert its authority and rein in this rogue administration before any further damage is done. Providing congressional approval or funding at this juncture would be tantamount to condoning these egregious actions. Stand firm in upholding your constitutional obligations. The future of our democracy may depend on it.
