An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Defend Constitution, Stop Authoritarian Power Grab by Trump, Musk

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

The recent actions by President Trump and Elon Musk represent a blatant violation of the constitutional separation of powers and an unconstitutional power grab. By illegally freezing congressionally approved federal funding and granting Musk unilateral access to sensitive government data systems, they are undermining our democratic system of checks and balances. This is not a legitimate review process – it is an attempted coup to dismantle legally authorized programs and seize control over government operations without any oversight or accountability. We must take immediate action to stop this authoritarian overreach and uphold the rule of law. I urge you to forcefully condemn these anti-democratic actions, support legal challenges against the funding freeze, and pursue all available legislative remedies to rein in this abuse of power. Allowing an unelected billionaire like Musk to hijack government functions sets a dangerous precedent that erodes our constitutional foundations. It is your sworn duty to defend our democratic institutions from this insurrectionist threat. The future of our republic depends on your resolute opposition to Trump and Musk's unlawful power grab. Protect the Constitution – stop this coup now.
