An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Directed at Members of Congress Who Are Complicit in Constitutional Collapse

46 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

You swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. That oath does not expire, and it does not bend to party loyalty. The current administration has committed clear and repeated violations of the Constitution, dismantling the system of checks and balances that defines the American government. Instead of acting as a co-equal branch, this Congress has stood by and allowed the executive to seize unchecked power. The record speaks for itself: Constitutional Violations: --> Issuing executive orders that override both Congress and the courts --> Ignoring judicial rulings --> Proposing to end birthright citizenship by fiat --> Targeting law firms representing political opponents --> Politicizing the Department of Justice --> Misusing the Alien Enemies Act to bypass judicial review --> Deporting asylum seekers without screening --> Carrying out raids in protected locations like schools and hospitals --> Retaliating against legal residents for political speech Ethical and Governance Failures: --> Cabinet officials profiting from industries they regulate --> Transferring assets to relatives to avoid divestment rules --> Selling federal assets to friends at discount rates --> Monetizing White House access --> Gutting ethics rules --> Expanding federal operations into mass deportation programs --> Handing out massive detention contracts to private firms These are not minor transgressions. Congress is not a ceremonial body. You were not elected to stand by in silence. You were not elected to pass laws that help dismantle our country. Refusing to confront and correct this destruction of America violates the Constitution, the people you represent, and your oath of office. It is betrayal. Americans are paying attention. We know who’s defending the Constitution—and who’s helping dismantle it. If you keep standing by, you’ll be voted out. Skipping votes and hiding behind procedural games is cowardly on transparent. We are not fooled. Reassert the power of Congress. Rein in the executive branch. Defend the Constitution. Do your job.
