An open letter to the U.S. Congress

The Constitution Is Not Optional

18 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

I am writing to express my profound alarm at the conduct of President Donald Trump and members of his administration. Their actions have repeatedly shown a disregard for constitutional limits, and the pattern has become impossible to ignore. The push to force American citizens to continually prove their citizenship in order to access rights and services is not only intrusive, it is unconstitutional. It treats every citizen as suspect unless they can satisfy an ever-shifting demand for documentation. That is not governance. It is coercion. No administration has the authority to rewrite the relationship between the government and the governed. The Constitution does not grant the executive branch the power to strip citizens of their rights through bureaucratic intimidation. These policies undermine equal protection, violate due process, and create a hostile environment where basic rights are treated as privileges that must be earned again and again. This behavior reflects a broader pattern of abuse of power. It raises serious questions about intent, legality, and the willingness of this administration to weaponize federal authority for political ends. When leaders place themselves above the Constitution, they forfeit the moral and legal legitimacy of their office. For these reasons, I am demanding a full congressional investigation into these violations. If the evidence confirms what millions of Americans already see, then impeachment proceedings against President Trump and any officials who enabled these unconstitutional actions must follow. Accountability is not optional. It is the foundation of a functioning democracy. The American people deserve a government that protects their rights, not one that erodes them. I urge you to act with urgency and integrity.
