There Is No Plan B — Both Parties Must Unite to Protect America NOW

To: Sen. Slotkin, Rep. Walberg, Sen. Peters

From: A constituent in Berrien Springs, MI

May 14

I write to you today not as a partisan, but as an American citizen deeply concerned for the future of our democracy. I am calling on you — Republicans and Democrats alike — to remember your oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. The time for hesitation and calculation is over. The time to act courageously and in unity is now. We are facing a moment of grave national crisis. Former President Donald Trump is not simply campaigning for reelection — he is executing a clear and calculated power grab. His open disregard for democratic norms and constitutional limits is not just alarming, it is unprecedented in modern American history. He has spoken about "terminating" parts of the Constitution to reinstate himself to power. He has promised retribution against political opponents and hinted at using the Department of Justice as a weapon. He has called for the removal of due process in cases involving immigration and protest — statements that dangerously echo authoritarian regimes from history, including the early days of Nazi Germany. These are not empty words. These are blueprints. And they must be taken seriously. This is not politics as usual. This is a coordinated attempt to dismantle the safeguards of our republic and centralize power in the hands of one man — a man who has repeatedly shown contempt for the rule of law, the balance of power, and the truth itself. If you still believe in the Constitution, in justice, in the idea that no person is above the law — then you must act. There is no plan B. The only path forward is action, and the clearest, most courageous action is to begin introducing articles of impeachment. This must not be a partisan maneuver — it must be a united front. Republicans and Democrats alike must come together, rise above political gamesmanship, and put America back on solid ground. To those who still cling to Trump's approval, who fear crossing him or alienating his base — I implore you to take a step back. This is bigger than any political career. It’s bigger than polls or reelection hopes. This is about the soul of our nation and the future of our children. History will not remember silence. It will remember what you did — or failed to do — when it mattered most. If you act now, with integrity, unity, and bold leadership, you can help restore our country’s moral compass. I will be so proud of you. Millions of Americans will be proud of you. And generations yet to come will thank you for choosing country over fear. Please: do what is right. Stand firm. Work together. Defend democracy. Defend the Constitution. Stop Trump now. There is no plan B. With deep hope and urgency,
