Subject: Upholding Your Oath to Defend the Constitution I write to remind you of the oath you took—not to a party or president, but to the Constitution. Our democracy is under threat, and silence is complicity. The Politicization of the Civil Service The administration is undermining federal institutions by replacing career public servants with loyalists, eroding independence and expertise. Defiance of Congressional Authority The executive branch has defied Congress by freezing or redirecting billions in federal funds, violating the Impoundment Act and the separation of powers. Weaponization of Federal Law Enforcement Law enforcement should serve the people, not be used for political retribution. Firing prosecutors and threatening lawful investigations consolidate power unconstitutionally. Assault on a Free Press and Free Inquiry A free press is fundamental to democracy. Threatening journalists and interfering with universities suppresses dissent and controls information—hallmarks of authoritarianism. Manipulation of Division for Political Gain This administration foments division by pitting Americans against each other based on race, religion, and ideology to maintain power, weakening democracy. These are not partisan issues; they are existential threats. The Constitution demands action: • Publicly condemn these abuses. • Support legal measures to block unconstitutional actions. • Ensure federal agencies remain independent. • Stand with colleagues—across party lines—to preserve Congress as a co-equal branch. History will judge your response. Will you protect democracy or allow it to be dismantled? Act decisively. The American people are watching.
