Freeze Tariffs Immediately to Halt Economic Collapse

To: Rep. DeGette, Sen. Hickenlooper, Sen. Bennet

From: A constituent in Denver, CO

April 7

We are at the brink. President Trump’s so-called “Liberation Day” tariffs—an indiscriminate 10% tax on *all* imports, with even higher penalties on China and the EU—have triggered a market collapse and ignited global trade retaliation. Over $6.5 trillion in U.S. market value has already been wiped out. This is not economic policy. It is economic arson. The tariffs were imposed recklessly, with no clear plan, no input from Congress, and no regard for the catastrophic consequences now unfolding: rising prices, collapsing confidence, and chaos across supply chains. This is a DEFCON 1 moment. I urge you to act immediately: - Freeze the tariffs through emergency legislation. - Reclaim Congressional authority over trade decisions. - Stabilize the markets and assure global partners that America has not lost its mind. Every hour counts. Please do everything in your power to stop this freefall before we plunge into a full-blown depression.
