An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Urgent: Uphold Constitutional Checks and Stop Authoritarian Overreach

3 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I’m writing to express my deep concern over the Trump administration’s ongoing abuses of power and the erosion of our constitutional democracy. Since Inauguration Day, Donald Trump has repeatedly undermined the separation of powers, weaponized federal agencies against political opponents, and defied court orders. He has deployed the military against civilians, exploited emergency powers to bypass Congress, and attacked freedom of speech and press. These actions represent a dangerous consolidation of executive power and a direct threat to our democratic institutions. I urge you to take immediate action to restore constitutional balance and accountability. Specifically, I ask that you: • Refuse to pass any blank-check federal spending bill that enables unconstitutional practices. • Reassert Congress’s authority over spending, tariffs, and military authorizations. • Support investigations and accountability for officials involved in illegal actions. • If warranted, file articles of impeachment and move to convict and remove Trump for repeated defiance of the law. If you will not fulfill your duty as a member of a co-equal branch of government, I will use my power as a voter to support a representative who will. Thank you for your time and your commitment to defending our democracy.
