An open letter to the U.S. Senate

Stop Trump from centralizing control over independent agencies

2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I am writing as your constituent to express my deep concern regarding President Trump’s recent executive order centralizing control over independent agencies. This order undermines Congress’s intent in establishing these agencies as independent entities, compromises their ability to act without undue political influence, and disrupts the constitutional balance of power between branches of government. Independent agencies like the FTC and SEC play critical roles in ensuring accountability, protecting consumers, and maintaining market integrity. By subjecting their decisions to White House oversight, this order jeopardizes their effectiveness and risks turning them into tools of political expediency. I urge you to take immediate action by: 1. Introducing or supporting legislation that reaffirms agency independence and limits executive overreach. 2. Advocating for judicial review of this executive order to ensure it complies with constitutional principles. 3. Raising public awareness about the dangers this order poses to our democracy. As your constituent, I trust you will prioritize safeguarding our democratic institutions and preserving checks and balances essential to good governance. Please let me know how you plan to address this urgent issue.
