An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Protect the Courts, protect checks and balances

25 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

The provision buried in the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act poses a grave threat to the checks and balances vital to our democracy. Requiring citizens to post bonds before courts can enforce orders against the government is an unconstitutional overreach that would consolidate immense power in the executive branch. This measure neuters the judiciary's ability to serve as a co-equal branch and safeguard against government overreach. It retroactively undermines rulings already issued against the administration's unlawful actions. Moreover, the provision banning regulation of artificial intelligence for elections would enable unchecked spread of deceptive content, violating citizens' right to make informed decisions. These attacks on democratic institutions and rule of law cannot stand. I urge you to strike down these unacceptable provisions that threaten fundamental principles of governance and accountability. Preserving judicial independence and electoral integrity is paramount to upholding our republic.
