An Open Letter

To: Rep. Steube, Sen. Scott, Sen. Moody

From: A constituent in Sarasota, FL

May 4

Our rights and federal agencies and democracy are being, illegally, torn apart. This in contravention of the laws and statutes and Constitution of the United States; the Constitution you swore to support and defend! Look what Trump has been doing: *Having judges arrested.  *Deporting children undergoing cancer treatment, who ARE American citizens, AND deporting parents WITHOUT their children. *Allowing no restrictions on ICE. *Rejecting due process of residents, immigrants, visitors and citizens! *Trying to overturn numerous articles and amendments of the Constitution.  *Imposing illegal executive orders. *Betraying our allies. *Using the office of the Presidency to cash in bitcoin schemes.  *Using “insider information” for personal and family profit. *Usurping the rightful powers of Congress. *Not just failing to see the laws faithfully executed, but flouting both Federal and Supreme Courts. *Trying to weaponise the IRS against personal foes. *Announcing wish to illegally render American citizens and non citizens alike to foreign prisons. These egregious abuses are only a fraction of the “high crimes” and “misdemeanors” of Trump. What will it take for you to honor your oath to the Constitution and hold Trump accountable? There has been much talk about members of Congress feeling personally threatened: * Consider the courage of our armed services and the dangers they face as they honor their oath to the Constitution and serve our nation. * Consider the sacrifices of those who gave their  lives to defeat Naziism. * Consider how Trump has backed down, to China and Harvard.  It's time for you to stand, together with your colleagues, to: *Expose and reject threats and shakedowns.  *Uphold the Constitution, as you solemnly swore to do. Consider what history and your grandchildren will think/write, if you fail to hand on a democracy that includes their civil rights under the US Constitution, along with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness! It's time for Congress to take back its power. It's time for YOU to say NO to threats. Unless you take action against Trump's assault on the Constitution, YOU are betraying YOUR own oath. YOU will be despised by history and future generations, for “complicity with fascism”. Please, DO YOUR JOB and keep the President, and his actions, under control, using your voice and vote!
