An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Immediate Action Required to Stop Trump’s Authoritarian Takeover

349 so far! Help us get to 500 signers!

We are witnessing a full-scale assault on American democracy. Trump’s rogue executive branch is seizing power unchecked, and if Congress fails to act, we will lose what remains of our republic. There is no time to waste. This is your job. The American people expect immediate action. Trump and his enablers are methodically dismantling the institutions that safeguard democracy. The Heritage Foundation, a think tank now openly collaborating with Hungary’s autocratic leader Viktor Orbán, is laying the groundwork for Trump to consolidate power and erase any remaining checks on his authority. This is unacceptable. Foreign-influenced think tanks should have no role in shaping U.S. governance, especially when their playbook is modeled on an autocracy that has crushed judicial independence, silenced the press, and stripped opposition parties of power. Trump’s latest power grabs include purging inspectors general, attacking the judiciary, and empowering billionaires like Elon Musk—who has no loyalty to democracy—to wield immense governmental influence. Musk is not just a tech mogul; he is an unelected power broker who now has direct access to federal agencies and policy decisions, all while using his wealth to shield Trump from accountability. If Congress allows a corrupt alliance of autocrats and oligarchs to dictate national policy, democracy in America is finished. You must act now: • Block Trump’s illegal power grabs through legislation and the courts. • Launch immediate investigations into Musk’s government influence and financial entanglements. • Expose and sever the Heritage Foundation’s ties to Orbán’s authoritarian regime. This is not a partisan issue—it is a battle for the future of this country. If elected officials fail to stop this, they will be complicit in the destruction of democracy. The people of this country will accept nothing less than immediate, forceful action. History will not be kind to those who stood by and watched as tyranny took hold.
