President Trump's decision to impose sweeping tariffs on imports will significantly harm the U.S. economy and American workers. Tariffs are essentially taxes paid by American consumers and businesses that raise costs and reduce economic growth. Rather than escalating a destructive trade war, we should pursue fair trade agreements that open markets and create jobs here at home while avoiding arbitrary tariffs that make American goods less competitive globally. I urge you to press the administration to end these reckless and unprovoked tariff hikes that threaten to derail our economic progress. We need a trade policy that puts American interests first through tough, smart negotiation - not poorly conceived trade wars that will cost jobs and hurt working families. Moreover, imposing taxes in the form of tariffs is NOT a presidential power. Congress could easily stop this madness by voting on a resolution to end the economic emergency the president unilaterally declared. As elected representatives, you have the power to stop this madness. You just need to take it back from this administration’s unprecedented overreach. Your constituents are hurting. Take back your power and do something to stop it! Support any resolution or legislation to end these arbitrary and catastrophic tariffs. Thank you.
