HR 1526 Is a Death Sentence for Democracy

To: Sen. Fetterman, Sen. McCormick

From: A constituent in Quakertown, PA

April 15

This is it. HR 1526 is not just a bill — it’s a hand-delivered weapon to a man already tearing through the Constitution like tissue paper. If passed, this legislation will strip the federal courts of their power to issue nationwide injunctions, leaving Trump and his violent, authoritarian movement unchecked. No more roadblocks. No more recourse. No more hope of slowing him down through the courts. This is how fascism takes root — not in one sweeping moment, but in a series of cuts made in the name of “order,” “security,” and “convenience.” Trump is openly defying court orders. He is courting dictators. He is revoking citizenship. He is talking about deporting Americans. He has purged his administration of dissent. He is laying the legal groundwork to imprison journalists, protesters, immigrants — anyone who isn’t white, Christian, male, able-bodied, submissive, and obedient. HR 1526 will leave him entirely unbound, free to turn his grotesque fantasies of control into policy, punishment, and persecution. We are no longer operating under a functional democracy. This is a man actively at war with the First and Fourteenth Amendments — and he is winning because Congress refuses to act with the urgency the situation demands. You were sent to office to defend this country from exactly this kind of tyranny. This is a constitutional crisis. This is a five-alarm fire. This is treason. Kill HR 1526 in the Senate. Kill it and take comfort in the fact that you will go down in history as a safeguard rather than a coward. Better yet: Remove Trump from office. He is not just a bad actor — he is a dangerous one. We do not have the luxury of waiting for him to commit worse atrocities. He already has. He is daring you to do something about it. And if you don’t, history will remember that you chose comfort over courage. Impeach him. Before more people are hurt. Before the judiciary is muzzled. Before democracy is gone. This is the time to act. And if you don’t, we’ll remember that too.
