Betrayal of Your Oath – Stand Up for the People Now

To: Sen. Hagerty, Sen. Blackburn, Rep. Kustoff

From: A verified voter in Atoka, TN

March 2

congress I cannot believe how far you have fallen. You took an oath to uphold the Constitution, to defend this country against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Yet here you are, standing idly by—or worse, actively supporting—policies that undermine our democracy, weaken our global standing, and strip millions of Americans of their basic needs. Are you not ashamed? You were elected to serve the people, not to bow to a wannabe dictator. Every time you choose to enable Trump’s reckless, authoritarian agenda, you betray the very foundation of this country. You are complicit in dismantling democracy, in turning your back on your constituents, in gutting Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP—lifelines for countless Americans who rely on them to survive. How dare you prioritize the pockets of billionaires like Elon Musk while millions struggle to afford healthcare and food? And now, Trump wants to abandon NATO, the very alliance that has kept global stability in check for decades. Do you not see the glaring parallels between him and history’s most dangerous fascists? Have you learned nothing from the past? If the U.S. turns its back on NATO, the blood of World War III will be on your hands. And we, the people, will never let you forget it. You are failing the American people. You are failing democracy. You are failing history. Stand up now, before it is too late.
