Environmental protections and regulations are crucial for safeguarding public health and preserving natural resources. The Trump administration's executive order seeking to automatically terminate regulations after a certain period threatens decades of hard-won progress and undermines the constitutional authority of Congress to enact durable legislation for the public good. This order prioritizes short-term corporate profits over the long-term well-being of our communities and the planet we all share. As a public servant, I urge you to reject this misguided proposal and instead uphold your sworn duty to defend the environment and the constitutional lawmaking powers vested in the legislative branch by the American people. We must maintain strong, lasting protections rather than allowing regulations to arbitrarily sunset for the benefit of a few wealthy individuals and industries. The future of our air, water, and lands depends on your principled leadership.
