An Open Letter

To: Rep. Steube, Sen. Scott, Sen. Moody

From: A constituent in Sarasota, FL

February 10

I am writing as a constituent to demand immediate congressional action in response to ongoing executive misconduct, the normalization of state violence, and the collapse of meaningful oversight. The President has repeatedly advocated for, defended, and encouraged policies that result in serious harm, deprivation of rights, and loss of life. When executive rhetoric and policy jointly create an environment where violence by state actors is excused or rewarded, Congress has not only the authority—but the obligation—to act. The Constitution provides a clear remedy for such abuse of power: impeachment. Impeachment is not partisan retaliation. It is a constitutional safeguard against an executive who uses the powers of office to undermine civil liberties, due process, and the rule of law. Failure to pursue it under these circumstances signals that no line truly exists. I am calling on Congress to take the following actions: • Initiate impeachment proceedings against the President for abuse of power and encouragement of unconstitutional conduct • Establish independent investigations into executive and agency misconduct • Publicly reject any effort to shield officials or associates from accountability under the law Democracy does not survive on restraint alone—it survives on enforcement. When Congress refuses to act in the face of clear abuses, it becomes complicit in their continuation.
