A new PRRI survey released June 17, 2026 shows 68% of Americans believe we are in real danger of losing important democratic rights and freedoms. That number cuts across party lines — Democrats, independents, and even half of Republicans share this alarm. I need you to speak out publicly and forcefully against the concentration of power that is driving this fear. The same survey found 59% of Americans view President Trump as a dangerous leader whose power should be limited before he destroys American democracy — up from 52% just over a year ago. That trend is not a partisan talking point. It is a measurable shift in how the public sees what is happening to our institutions. Your constituents are watching, and silence reads as complicity. This is a moment that calls for moral clarity. Use your platform to name the threat, defend democratic norms, and push back against the corruption of the offices and institutions that belong to all of us.
