Congress Must Act: Stop the April 2nd Tariffs Now

To: Pres. Trump, Sen. Slotkin, Rep. Walberg, Sen. Peters

From: A constituent in Adrian, MI

April 6

The April 2nd tariffs must be stopped. A 10% blanket tariff on all imports is not a policy — it’s an economic threat. Prices on groceries, clothing, tools, medicine, and more are set to rise sharply. Small businesses that rely on imported goods will get crushed. Jobs will be lost. There is no plan here, only chaos disguised as strategy. This isn’t just about economics — it’s about power. The Constitution gives Congress the authority to regulate tariffs, not the president acting unilaterally under “emergency” powers. If you allow this to stand, you’re not just endorsing bad policy — you’re surrendering your constitutional role. You have a duty to act. Use every tool available — legislation, hearings, legal challenges — to stop this before more damage is done to working people, small businesses, and our already fragile economy. Congress must rein in this abuse of power. Do your job and stop the tariffs now.
