As your constituent, I am writing to express deep concern about recent developments that threaten the constitutional foundations of our democracy and the wellbeing of our community. I am witnessing what I believe are warning signs of democratic erosion, including threats to immigration enforcement norms, press freedoms, and due process protections. The acceleration of national debt, concerns about election integrity, and allegations surrounding public figures in positions of power all point to a need for robust legislative oversight. The executive branch appears to be operating beyond the scope of traditional constitutional constraints, displaying patterns that scholars of authoritarianism would recognize as concerning. I urge you to exercise your constitutional authority by: ∙ Utilizing congressional oversight powers to investigate executive overreach ∙ Supporting legislation that reinforces institutional checks on executive power ∙ Defending the independence of the judiciary and law enforcement from political interference ∙ Protecting First Amendment freedoms, including press freedom ∙ Ensuring transparency and accountability in government operations ∙ Standing firm on constitutional principles regardless of political pressure The framers designed our system with separated powers precisely for moments like these. I am counting on you to represent the interests of your constituents and defend the constitutional order that protects us all. I would appreciate a response outlining the specific actions you plan to take to address these concerns.
