An Open Letter

To: Rep. Steube, Sen. Moody, Sen. Scott

From: A constituent in Sarasota, FL

May 11

Our rights and federal agencies and democracy are being torn apart. Illegally. In contravention of the laws and statutes and constitution of the United States. The constitution YOU swore to support and defend! Look what Trump has been doing: *Allowing Musk to run, uncontrolled, destroying records, random firing of federal employees, accessing private data, trying to eliminate competitors, causing havoc within programs and to beneficiaries of such, attempted destruction of Nation Park system. The list goes on and it will take years to recoup the damage he caused. *Having judges arrested.  *Deporting children with cancer who are American citizens.  *Rejecting due process.  *Trying to overturn numerous articles and amendments of the constitution.  *Making illegal executive orders. *Betraying our allies. *Using the office of President to cash in bitcoin schemes.  *Doing a sales pitch for Tesla on the lawn of US federal property. *Usurping the rightful powers of Congress. *Not just failing to see the laws faithfully executed, but flouting the Supreme Court. *Trying to weaponise the IRS against personal foes. *Illegally sending American citizens and non citizens alike to foreign prisons and defying court orders. *Causing tourists and travelers great fear, like that my mother experienced in Nazi Germany in 1939. These egregious abuses are only a fraction of the high crimes and misdemeanours of Trump. What will it take for you to honor your oath to the constitution and hold Trump accountable? There has been much talk about members of Congress feeling personally threatened. If that is the case: *Consider the courage of our armed services and the dangers they face as they honor their oath to the constitution and serve our nation. *Consider the sacrifices of those who gave their  lives to defeat Naziism. *Consider how Trump has backed down...  to China.  To Harvard.  It's time for you to stand together with your colleagues now. Expose and reject threats and shakedowns. Uphold the constitution, as you solemnly swore to do. Consider what history and your grandchildren will think if you fail to hand on a democracy to them, their civil rights, and right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Unless you take action against Trump's assault on the constitution you are betraying your own oath. You will be despised by history for complicity with fascism. It's time for Congress to take back its power. It's time for you to say NO to threats. PLEASE, do the job we elected you to do: CONTROL THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH!
