Speak Out Against Trump’s Open Defiance of the Constitution

To: Sen. Cruz, Rep. Carter, Sen. Cornyn

From: A constituent in Leander, TX

October 1, 2025

Why are you silent while Donald Trump parades around in “Trump 2028” hats—sometimes even in official meetings? Why do you tolerate a sitting president openly selling merchandise advertising an unconstitutional third term in his online store, while he publicly declares that he wants to “rewrite the rules”? This is not a joke. This is not harmless marketing. This is a direct attack on the United States Constitution and on the fundamental principle that no president—Republican, Democrat, or Independent—may serve more than two terms. The 22nd Amendment is crystal clear. Trump’s behavior is not only corrosive to our democracy, it is a deliberate attempt to normalize the idea of dictatorship. Your silence is complicity. Do you not see the danger in letting an American president openly promote himself as a “king” above the law? Do you not see how this erodes the rule of law and emboldens authoritarianism? Every day that you fail to condemn this, you are surrendering the constitutional balance of power and betraying the oath you swore to protect and defend the Constitution. Say something. Do something. The American people are watching as Trump undermines our most sacred democratic guardrails in plain sight. History will remember whether Congress stood up for democracy—or cowered while it was dismantled. This nation does not belong to Trump. It belongs to the people. Stop this madness before it is too late. Fight for our country please!
