An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress; State Governors & Legislatures

Protect the constitution and our nation

8 so far! Help us get to 10 signers!

I am an American citizen, a military veteran, a former Forest Service employee, a PhD in biomedical science, and a researcher and instructor at several state universities. Like you, my entire working life has been in service to the people of this nation. With that in mind, I must register the following complaints. You and I have sworn an oath to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Knowing that, I am concerned and outraged that you are not obeying that oath. The three branches of government were developed by our founders in order to keep from a centralized power structure. It's the same reason that you pretend to care about state's rights, and then hand all the power of legislative and judicial branches over to the executive branch, very clearly violating the constitution and violating the rights of individual states and their residents. Musk and trump have both claimed that musk isn't in charge of the congressionally unapproved "DOGE" department, all the while sitting idly by while musk attempts to gut them. THE GOP hold all 3 branches of government, so while there's never any valid excuse to violate the constitution, there certainly isn't when you have the ability to do all of this legally. Don't like a department? I disagree, but you could close it legally through legislation. Same with a budget. But no, you'd prefer to do this extrajudicially. If you want an audit to search for "fraud and waste," then why are computer geeks who aren't employees and have not gone through rigorous government background checks, rummaging through our institutions instead of actual auditors? Forensic accountants are the only people qualified to determine if any of this is fraud. You are failing to protect me and my family's personal, private information. You're not even protecting your own family. You pretend to care about veterans, but you cut our availability services by firing those who would serve us. You pretend to care about education, but you'd gut research by severing critical indirect grants, stifling research. You pretend to care about farmers, but you gut USAID (America's best soft power around the globe), thus costing farmers billions in grain sales. You pretend to care about citizens, but you're harming us. You have very clearly sold your souls to your billionaire overlords. You have corrupted yourself, your office, your states, your nation, and the constitution. May god have mercy on your soul because you'll get none from us.
