An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Reinstate fired inspectors general, uphold checks and balances

3 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

The president's dismissal of 17 inspectors general is an alarming breach of constitutional checks and balances. Inspectors general serve a vital role in ensuring accountability and fighting corruption across federal agencies. Their sudden termination without proper cause or notification to Congress is a direct violation of the Inspector General Act. This brazen defiance of oversight laws represents a grave threat to the system of checks and balances enshrined in the Constitution. Unchecked executive power inevitably leads to abuse and corruption. The American people deserve a government operating with full transparency and accountability. I urge you to take immediate action to reinstate the fired inspectors general and uphold the constitutional principles of separation of powers and congressional oversight authority. We cannot allow the president's authoritarian impulses to go unchallenged. Defending the Constitution and the rule of law must be our highest priority in this crisis. The American republic depends on elected leaders willing to stand up for our democratic institutions and values.
