An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Uphold Posse Comitatus Act, say no to US military in streets, block illegal EO

4,883 so far! Help us get to 5,000 signers!

The so-called "Strengthening and Unleashing America's Law Enforcement" executive order represents an alarming escalation of authoritarian overreach and a blatant violation of the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which strictly prohibits the use of military forces for domestic law enforcement purposes. The very notion of deploying troops to "prevent crime" on American streets is anathema to the core values of a free and democratic society. Such a move would only sow further division, mistrust, and animosity between the people and those sworn to protect them.   The American public resoundingly rejects the deployment of a militarized police state under the guise of maintaining order. We demand that Congress take immediate and decisive action to nullify this unconstitutional executive order and reaffirm the fundamental principles of civil liberties and democratic governance. Any attempt to circumvent legal constraints and exploit military capabilities for repressive domestic policies must be unequivocally denounced and struck down.   The founding ideals of this nation stand in stark opposition to the imposition of jackbooted authoritarianism. Congress must rise to defend the rights and freedoms that millions have fought and died to uphold. Failing to do so would be a unconscionable dereliction of duty and a betrayal of the democratic mandate.   We call upon our elected representatives to show true leadership and moral courage in the face of this egregious executive overreach by swiftly nullifying this order and reaffirming our nation's commitment to liberty, justice, and the rule of law.
