An Open Letter

To: Sen. Padilla, Rep. Waters, Sen. Schiff

From: A verified voter in Torrance, CA

February 7, 2025

It has only been a few weeks since this new regime has entered the White House and they are not wasting time making a flurry of illegal moves. I appreciate that the dems have started to speak up but stop laying the blame solely on Elon Musk. Yes he shouldn’t be given any power as he is not elected nor in an appointed position within an official department. The actual unconstitutional problem here is that Trump or any president cannot and should not govern by fiat as he is doing by using executive order after executive order. He needs to be held accountable. Bring up articles of impeachment everyday if you need to yell from the rooftops that he is not our king. Our country allegedly built on the idea that we didn’t want a king that we didn’t appreciate taxes on our tea?! Yet he’s started a trade war and alienated us from our allies near and far making us more unsafe in the world. He’s putting in people who are uniquely unqualified, security risks at best and traitors at worst who collude with or adversarys. Trump is working on enacting the pieces of project 2025 and this needs to be repeated over and over again in simple terms so that even his voters understand that he is tearing apart our democracy. This may be your only chance to save our system of government. He has been alluding for years that he won’t leave and would take another term no matter how unconstitutional. The time for playing ball with Trump and the GOP is gone. Use every lever of power available to you it is our only fighting chance. Speak in every way possible sound the alarm’s and don’t make it easy for Trump & the GOP to tear down our democracy. I implore you to do everything and anything to stop him. Please! Act with any power that you have in and outside of Congress. Protest speak up put sand in their gears slow down EVERYTHING Stop normal procedures everything! I spent all of my life believing this was actually the best in country in the world, the reason my mom an immigrant came here so that her children could have a better life. I believed in the American dream and the promise of a better tomorrow. The actions of Trump and his regime make me ashamed of what we are becoming. You have a chance to show us that the American ideals we were founded upon are not dead.
