Reject Authoritarian Power Grabs — Defend Democratic Checks and Balances

To: Sen. Baldwin, Sen. Johnson, Rep. Pocan

From: A constituent in Madison, WI

October 1, 2025

I’m writing as a constituent alarmed by Donald Trump’s recent statements openly embracing authoritarian rule and threatening to dismantle democratic institutions. His rhetoric about being a “dictator on day one” is not just dangerous—it’s a direct challenge to the constitutional limits of executive power. I urge you to publicly condemn these remarks and commit to defending the rule of law, the separation of powers, and the integrity of our democratic system. Congress must act to reinforce checks on executive overreach and ensure no president can bypass constitutional constraints. Silence is complicity. Please speak out and take action to protect our democracy.
