An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Congress must fight like hell to defend democracy's checks, balances

17 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

The preservation of democratic principles relies on a system of checks and balances upheld by the separate branches of government. Members of Congress bear a solemn responsibility to fight like hell and wield their Constitutional authority as a co-equal branch to counteract executive overreach and violations of civil liberties, as if it's a five-alarm fire. Forceful condemnation from elected representatives, substantive legislative actions to curb authoritarian measures, rigorous oversight through investigative hearings and hearings on judicial nominees, and a refusal to capitulate to undemocratic demands are imperative to safeguarding the rule of law. Grassroots constituent pressure on members of Congress to take decisive steps is vital to catalyzing a proportional response that matches the gravity of these affronts to democratic governance. The path forward necessitates an unrelenting commitment from Congressional leaders to fight like hell to defend the Constitution through their institutional powers and prerogatives.
