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

From Free Speech to Felony: The Silencing America

44 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

Trump’s anti-terrorism advisor, Sebastian Gorka, just said Americans who advocate for due process for deported legal residents—like Kilmar Abrego Garcia—are “on the side of terrorists” and could be prosecuted. That’s not national security. That’s DICTATORSHIP. This threatens core constitutional rights: • 1st Amendment – Free Speech & Right to Petition • 5th Amendment – Right to Due Process • 14th Amendment – Equal Protection under the Law Who is Sebastian Gorka? • Naturalized U.S. citizen (2012) • Ph.D. called out for weak scholarship • Served in British reserve intelligence—not U.S. military • Alleged ties to Vitézi Rend—a Nazi-linked group (would disqualify citizenship if true) • Known for TV soundbites, not serious counterterrorism work And THIS is who Trump empowers to call law-abiding Americans “terrorist sympathizers”? What regime does this remind you of? • Russia? Hungary? Cuba? • Because it’s NOT the United States we swore to protect Congress must act. If defending constitutional rights is criminal now—what’s next? DOES TRUMP PLAN TO SILENCE ALL OF AMERICA? This is your moment. Will you serve a cruel, power-hungry dictator—or the American people? Stand up now. Or be remembered as one of the cowards who watched democracy die and did nothing.
