An open letter to State Governors (Utah only)

Reconsider Your Support for Legislative Overreach

15 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding your continued support for the legislature's recent actions, which I believe overstep constitutional boundaries. The recent judicial decision standing up to this legislative overreach was a crucial moment for our state's democracy, and I urge you to follow suit by reconsidering your position. As our Governor, you have sworn to uphold the constitution and protect the interests of all citizens. However, your current stance appears to prioritize political allegiance over the fundamental principles of checks and balances that our government is built upon. This is not just disappointing; it's potentially harmful to the long-term health of our democratic institutions. The judge's ruling serves as a stark reminder that no single branch of government should wield unchecked power. It's a principle that you, as our state's chief executive, should be championing. Instead, your support for the legislature in this matter seems to undermine the very system of governance you've been elected to protect. I implore you to take a step back and critically examine the legislature's recent actions. Are they truly in the best interest of our state and its citizens? Or do they represent a dangerous consolidation of power that threatens the delicate balance of our three-branch system? Your position offers you a unique opportunity to stand up for what's right, even if it means going against your initial inclinations or party lines. By reconsidering your support and instead challenging the legislature's overreach, you would demonstrate true leadership and a commitment to the principles of good governance. The consequences of allowing this legislative overreach to go unchecked could be severe and long-lasting. It sets a precedent that could erode the foundational structures of our democracy. As a concerned citizen, I ask you to be on the right side of history. Reconsider your stance, stand up to the legislature, and protect the constitutional balance of powers that is so crucial to our state's governance. Your actions in this matter will be remembered long after your term ends. I urge you to make the right choice - for our state, for our democracy, and for your legacy as a leader who put principles above politics.
