An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Stop the Showmanship & Stunts: Start Solving Real Problems

17 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

Americans are clear about what matters: the cost of living, access to healthcare, quality education, a stable economy, and the future of Social Security. A March 2025 Gallup poll found that 60% of Americans are deeply concerned about the economy, 59% about healthcare costs, and over half about whether Social Security will be there when they need it. Yet President Trump continues to waste time on political stunts and distractions. In his first 100 days, he’s proposed cutting $163 billion from essential domestic programs, defunding the Department of Education, and slashing healthcare support—all while increasing defense spending and pushing culture war policies that do nothing for working families. This is not leadership. It’s misdirection. Americans are asking for solutions, not headlines. We need policies that address everyday concerns, not self-serving theatrics that leave our communities behind. I urge you to demand a shift in focus. Push for action on healthcare, the economy, education, and Social Security. Stop the distractions. Start putting American families first.
