Your Constitutional Duty Demands Action

To: Rep. Burlison, Sen. Schmitt, Sen. Hawley

From: A verified voter in Springfield, MO

March 29

I am your constituent, and I am writing to demand you fulfill your oath to defend the Constitution. You are only defending your party and Trump. When will you defend the Constitution? The Trump administration has taken actions that collectively represent an unprecedented assault on our system of government: Attacks on Democratic Institutions Fired independent agency heads in defiance of Supreme Court precedent Dismantled USAID and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau without congressional approval Used DOGE to cut congressionally appropriated spending unilaterally Refused to comply with federal court orders Invoked the Alien Enemies Act in peacetime to bypass due process Attacks on the Rule of Law Pardoned all January 6th rioters, including those convicted of violence Fired Inspectors General across agencies without required notice Weaponized DOJ against perceived political enemies Threatened judges and prosecutors by name Attacks on Civil Liberties & the Press Revoked security clearances of political opponents Barred AP from the White House over editorial decisions Sought to strip birthright citizenship (ruled unconstitutional) Deployed immigration enforcement as political intimidation Abuse of Executive Power Issued executive orders overriding existing law Used tariffs unilaterally to circumvent Congress's trade authority Pressured private companies and law firms with executive threats Threatened to withhold federal funds to coerce states These are not policy disagreements — they are constitutional violations. History will judge those who stayed silent. I urge you to co-sponsor legislation reaffirming congressional oversight, speak publicly against executive overreach, and vote to hold this administration accountable. Your oath is to the Constitution. Honor it.
