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

Protect and defend checks and balances

9 so far! Help us get to 10 signers!

Our democratic system was established with vital checks and balances to prevent any single branch of government from accumulating excessive power. Suggesting that judges cannot review or restrain executive actions undermines this foundational principle. The judiciary serves as a critical safeguard against potential overreach or unconstitutional policies. Eroding this crucial separation of powers jeopardizes the stability and integrity of our nation's governing framework. We must staunchly defend the judicial system's authority to maintain accountability and uphold the rule of law that underpins our freedoms. Preserving these constitutional guardrails is essential to ensuring a government of, by, and for the people.
