Stand Up to Trump’s Abuses—Defend Democracy Now

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

From: A constituent in Leander, TX

October 8, 2025

Enough is enough. The American people are watching as Donald Trump dismantles the very foundations of our democracy right before our eyes—and Congress continues to sit on its hands. He is threatening to jail political opponents, invading Democratic-led cities with federal forces, lying without shame, cheating the system, and inciting violence among Americans for his own political gain. This is not leadership. This is authoritarianism in action. Every day you remain silent, Trump grows bolder. He tests the limits of our Constitution and finds no resistance. He mocks justice. He ridicules accountability. He treats the rule of law as a personal obstacle to bulldoze. Meanwhile, real Americans—your constituents—are left to wonder if our democracy can even survive another year of this madness. Where is your courage? Where is your oath to defend the Constitution? Trump’s assault on democratic cities, his push to criminalize political opposition, his use of government power as a personal weapon—all of it is an insult to everything this country stands for. This is not “politics as usual.” This is a crisis of governance, of morality, and of truth. History will not be kind to those who stood by while tyranny took root in the United States. We need leaders who will say NO to Trump’s bullying, expose his corruption, and restore integrity to our government. Stop pretending this is normal—it is not. The world sees what is happening. Americans see what is happening. And we will hold every single one of you accountable if you continue to allow this man to trample our democracy unchecked. Stand up. Speak out. Act now. The time for half-measures and political cowardice is over. Trump is attacking the very soul of our nation—and if Congress won’t defend it, who will?
