Boycott the State of the Union Address

To: Rep. Roy, Sen. Cruz, Sen. Cornyn

From: A constituent in Bandera, TX

February 23

As one of your constituents, I am writing to express my profound concern regarding your planned attendance at tomorrow’s State of the Union address. I am formally demanding that you boycott this event. The American people cannot continue to accept "business as usual" while the highest office in the land remains shadowed by the deeply disturbing and unresolved allegations surrounding the President’s historical associations with Jeffrey Epstein. These are not merely political talking points; they represent a fundamental question of character, safety, and the integrity of our executive branch. To sit in the chamber and provide the President with the traditional audience of a State of the Union is to offer a veneer of institutional legitimacy to an administration that has not fully answered for these ties. It signals to the public—and more importantly, to survivors of sexual abuse and trafficking—that political pageantry is more important than the pursuit of truth and justice. The only acceptable exception to this boycott is if you choose to attend for the explicit purpose of escorting and providing a platform to the survivors of the Trump-Epstein orbit. By bringing these survivors as your guests and physically standing with them, you transform a moment of political theater into a moment of moral clarity. Anything less than this level of advocacy is a failure to represent the values of justice and protection for the vulnerable that you were elected to uphold. I urge you to consider the message your presence sends. Do not lend your seat to the normalization of these allegations. Stand with the survivors, demand transparency, and refuse to participate in this ceremony until accountability is prioritized. I will be closely monitoring your office’s actions and public statements regarding tomorrow’s address.
