An open letter to the U.S. Congress

This has gone too far. DO YOUR JOB. NO to big budget bill. Impeach Trump NOW

I am outraged by the suffering, chaos, and deaths, yes, preventable deaths, that are being inflicted on America and the world by the Trump regime at home and abroad. I am also outraged that Congress is now adding to this damage instead of defending the constitution and rule of law. Your failure to impeach all presiding over this lawless constitution-violating executive branch will be studied by historians as a heinous moral failure. Every day that you do not take steps to rein in and impeach Trump you are enabling the destruction of our democracy, our rights, the rule of law, and our collective well being. Why has Congress has collectively ceded its powers and abandoned its constitutional role? The GOP is now actively working to damage their constituents' health, well-being, rights, and even survival. Look at the cuts to access to health care: 700 billion cut from Medicaid and PAYGO cuts Medicare projected to be $500 billion. GOP representatives also voted for dozens of other measures equally harmful to their constituents. Why? All so they could partially offset a $7 trillion tax cut for millionaires and corporations. All this after they and the president promised not to. And for whose good? For tax cuts for the billionaires. Consider the effects of the cuts to USAID: deaths. Starving children. Consider the lifting of regulations on air and water pollution-- those too will result in illness. You should be losing sleep over those deaths abroad and at home. We did NOT vote for America to become a failing democracy guilty of human rights abuses, betraying our allies, on international monitoring lists for these failures. We did NOT vote for American science and medical research to be destroyed. We did NOT vote for books to be burned or for people to be kidnapped for exercising their freedom of expression. We did NOT ask Congress to enable the President to become a dictator issuing illegal and unconstitutional executive orders and defying court orders. It's time for Congress to wake up. STOP THIS COUP. DO YOUR JOB. KEEP YOUR OATH. Every time Trump issues an unconstitutional EO, your oath REQUIRES your to speak out and CONDEMN his betrayal of the constitution. It's time to IMPEACH TRUMP. The senate must NOT approve the House budget. Start to show some courage. Adhere to the rule of law. History, your grandchildren, and the world will despise your cowardice if you do not.
