Kansas: Demand Trump’s Impeachment to Save Democracy

I am writing to urge you to take immediate action against President Donald Trump’s unconstitutional actions since his 2025 inauguration. His blatant disregard for the Constitution, the rule of law, and the democratic foundations of our nation pose an existential threat to America’s future. If Congress fails to act, including considering impeachment, we risk losing the very institutions that protect our freedoms. Since taking office, Trump has systematically undermined our system of checks and balances. He has issued executive orders that bypass Congress, stripping power away from the legislative branch. His sweeping orders have rolled back environmental protections, altered civil service regulations to install political loyalists, and imposed drastic immigration restrictions without congressional approval. This consolidation of executive power violates the core principles of our democracy. Trump has also weaponized the Department of Justice for personal and political gain. He has removed independent prosecutors involved in cases that affect him, replacing them with allies who will shield him from accountability. The DOJ is meant to serve the American people, not act as a personal defense team for the president. Allowing Trump to continue this unchecked corruption will set a dangerous precedent that future leaders could exploit. Even more alarming is his decision to freeze federal research funding, halting critical scientific and medical advancements. These cuts jeopardize life-saving research in cancer treatment, public health, and clean energy innovation. By defunding research, Trump is putting lives at risk and ceding America’s leadership in science and technology to other nations. The long-term consequences of this reckless decision will be devastating for our economy, our security, and our global standing. Trump’s growing ties with powerful corporate figures like Elon Musk further erode democratic governance. Musk’s increasing influence over national infrastructure, defense, and space policy lacks transparency and oversight. Public policy should be guided by the needs of the American people, not dictated by billionaires seeking to expand their own power. This is a pivotal moment in our nation’s history. We cannot allow Trump to erode the pillars of our democracy unchecked. I urge you to take a stand—investigate these abuses of power, restore essential funding for scientific research, and ensure Trump’s unconstitutional actions are stopped before lasting damage is done. If he continues to disregard the Constitution, Congress must take steps toward impeachment. We need leadership that prioritizes democracy, justice, and the well-being of the American people. I implore you to take decisive action before it’s too late.
