An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Urgent Call to Action: Embrace Dr. Pru Lee’s Blueprint to Safeguard Democracy

6 so far! Help us get to 10 signers!

As your constituent, I am respectfully asking you to read and organize around the urgent blueprint laid out by Dr. Pru Lee. I believe it offers the bold, coordinated strategy we need to prevent the rise of authoritarianism and defend our democracy before it’s too late. Dr. Lee’s open letter outlines seven key actions I urge you to prioritize: 1. Create a Civilian-Powered Investigative Coalition Bring together veterans, whistleblowers, journalists, and watchdogs to document and expose corruption, overreach, and executive abuse. Make it public. Build an archive of truth for future accountability. 2. Join the International Criminal Court Demonstrate integrity by inviting international oversight and signaling zero tolerance for human rights abuses. Force the opposition to justify their resistance to transparency. 3. Fund State-Level Resistance Infrastructure Stop focusing solely on campaigns. Invest in legal defense teams, digital security training, sanctuary networks, and grassroots organizing to build power locally and protect vulnerable communities. 4. Educate the Public on Rights and Resistance Launch national campaigns that equip citizens with “know your rights” kits, digital security tools, and multilingual legal guides. We need practical tools—not just slogans. 5. Engage Global Media and Watchdogs Stop relying on U.S. cable news to carry the truth. Feed verified reports to international outlets like The Guardian, BBC, and Al Jazeera. Use emerging platforms where censorship hasn’t taken hold. 6. Support Whistleblowers and Defectors Build encrypted, anonymous safe channels for internal dissenters to speak out. Welcome those leaving authoritarian movements—don’t shame them. We need courage and numbers. 7. Study and Execute Structural Dismantling Learn from nations like South Korea. Target not just the figurehead, but the system around them: the aides, policy authors, and enablers. Dismantle the regime one pillar at a time. Dr. Lee’s call is not about party politics. It’s about survival, strategy, and action in the face of democratic collapse.

It demands bold leadership, smart resistance, and a long-term plan for restoration. Please lead the charge.
