An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Urgently address damaging tariff policies endangering economic prosperity

The administration's imposition of sweeping tariffs is detrimental to the nation's economic well-being and undermines our standing on the global stage. These misguided trade policies will lead to widespread economic hardship, strained international relations, and diminished American influence. As an elected representative, it is imperative that you take decisive action to rectify this damaging course. Firstly, the dubious declaration of a "national emergency" to bypass congressional authority on tariffs must be terminated. This abuse of executive power not only violates the constitutionally mandated separation of powers but also erodes the foundations of our democratic system. Secondly, Congress must exercise its constitutional authority to revoke these ruinous tariffs, which are actively harming American consumers, businesses, and the broader economy. The negative repercussions, including potential recession risks and job losses, cannot be ignored. Thirdly, accountability must be taken for the enabling and support of the administration's reckless economic policies. An apology to constituents and the global community is warranted for the disruption and damage caused by these ill-conceived actions. Finally, efforts must be made to restore America's reputation as a responsible and cooperative participant in the international trade system. Abandoning unilateral protectionism and embracing fair, multilateral trade agreements will benefit American workers, consumers, and the nation's economic prosperity. The path forward requires a resolute commitment to upholding the rule of law, safeguarding economic interests, and preserving America's leadership role in the global economy. Failing to address these pressing issues would be a dereliction of duty and a disservice to the nation.
