There Is No Plan B — We Need Your Leadership Now

To: Gov. Whitmer

From: A constituent in Berrien Springs, MI

May 14

I write with urgency, fear, and hope—because the danger we once warned about is now here. We are witnessing a consolidation of power, open disregard for the Constitution, and a frightening erosion of democratic norms. Trump speaks of removing due process, threatens political opponents, and accepts gifts like a private plane from Qatar—an act that feels more like a dictator than a public servant. These are echoes of authoritarian regimes in history, and it feels terrifyingly familiar. Our system depends on leaders honoring their oath to the Constitution. But too many in Congress are silent or complicit. They seem unwilling or afraid to act—even as everything we hold dear is at risk. I don't know how to reach them, but I know this: there is no Plan B. We need leaders like you to step forward and help guide us out of this. You’ve shown courage, integrity, and the ability to lead with both strength and calm. We need that now more than ever. Please, help bring together the voices who still believe in this country. Help unite both parties in defense of democracy. Impeachment must be on the table—not for politics, but for principle. We can’t wait for someone else to act. It must be now. History is watching—not just what Trump does, but who has the courage to stop him. I believe you do. Please help lead us forward. With hope,
