An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Defend the free press! Confront presidential abuse of free media!

10 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

Threats to jail journalists for protecting sources are a direct assault on the First Amendment. A free press is not optional—it is the check on executive abuse. When a president tries to intimidate reporters into silence, it signals fear of exposure, not strength. And you know what that implies: misconduct serious enough to hide. Your role is not passive observation. It is oversight, accountability, and, when necessary, consequences. If you ignore this, you are complicit in the erosion of constitutional protections. Do your job. Defend the press. Confront the abuse.
