Terminate Trump's false national emergencies and restore democratic norms
1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!
The past 10 weeks have seen the Trump administration falsely declare six purported "national emergencies" on matters that clearly do not constitute genuine emergencies. These unjustified emergency declarations are actively harming Americans and causing immense chaos and disruption. I urge you to take immediate action to introduce legislation that would terminate every one of these fabricated emergencies. While it may be difficult to go against your party, the oath you took was to uphold and defend the Constitution – not to enable the president's abuse of emergency powers for his own political agenda. With the damage being inflicted on your Ohio constituents and all Americans, it is imperative that you demonstrate principled leadership at this critical juncture. The Trump administration is exploiting these falsely proclaimed emergencies to inflict considerable harm, from damaging the economy through misguided tariffs, to violating civil liberties through draconian immigration policies, to crippling the government's ability to respond to genuine crises. This pattern of manufactured crises serves only to amass more power for the president while subjecting Americans to real harm. I implore you to stand up for democratic norms, constitutional checks and balances, and the rights of your constituents by swiftly moving to cancel each of these illegitimate emergency declarations. Restoring sanity and respect for the rule of law is crucial for protecting Ohioans and all Americans from the current administration's reckless overreach and abuses of power. The time to act is now.
