I’m writing to demand that you take immediate action to stop the reckless and damaging tariffs recently announced by Trump. These tariffs are already wreaking havoc on our economy—triggering market instability, raising prices for American families, and placing an enormous burden on businesses across nearly every sector. This is a multitrillion-dollar tax increase, imposed without any deliberation or consent from Congress. Such sweeping decisions—especially ones that impact the entire global trade system—must not be made unilaterally by any president. This level of action demands Congressional oversight, as our Founding Fathers intended. You have the constitutional authority and responsibility to regulate trade. It’s time to use it. The justification for these tariffs is built on political posturing, not economic necessity. Economists have called the plan nonsensical, unlikely to strengthen domestic manufacturing, and more likely to lead to economic disaster. Meanwhile, families are already feeling the consequences in the form of higher prices, and businesses are facing uncertainty and strain. Congress must stand up to this overreach. No president should have the unchecked power to destabilize our economy or weaponize trade policy for political ends. This is your moment to act—to get on the right side of the Constitution, the economy, and the American people. Please take a stand and do what’s right. Don’t let this destructive path continue unchecked.
