Actionable Ideas to Strengthen Your Impact To strengthen your work in defending the Constitution and the principles of this nation, We the People have outlined a few ideas in this letter. The time has come to confront the grave threat posed by President Donald Trump’s actions—actions that echo the “abuses and usurpations” condemned by our Founders in the Declaration of Independence. As they wrote, “let Facts be submitted to a candid world.” We implore you to draft and sign a letter—addressed to Trump, your fellow members of Congress, and the American people—outlining in clear and unflinching language why his actions are both wrong and a violation of our Constitution. Effectively publicizing his abuses and usurpations is not just a necessity; it is a duty. Trump’s betrayal of the public trust and his ongoing, unconstitutional usurpation of Congress’s rightful powers howl for a unified response from all patriots, but if Schumer and his ilk won't participate, you'll have to do what you can. A recent letter sent to the DNC and others proposed the idea of Daily Press Briefings with Public Access—consistent, transparent updates providing factual information on key issues. These briefings could include public Q&A sessions, fostering accountability and ensuring diverse audiences are reached through platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and potentially a dedicated website. Pete Buttigieg is well-suited to lead such an initiative, given his exceptional communication skills. While many are addressing this crisis through congressional committees, town halls, interviews, and tours, it is vital that these efforts are amplified. We urge you to encourage the media to provide consistent and transparent coverage that reaches all Americans, not just political elites or those already aligned with particular views. It is critical to ensure this information is accessible through both national and local media outlets as well as digital platforms. Doing so will provide an opportunity to counteract propaganda and offer the truth to the American people. Every letter we have written to you has emphasized the oath you and your colleagues took to defend the Constitution of the United States. Today, that commitment is more vital than ever. Politics as usual cannot apply in this fight. While the ideal scenario may not be possible, it is time to act swiftly, decisively, and very publicly.
