An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Prepare Now to Block Any Emergency Declaration Targeting Midterm Elections

52 so far! Help us get to 100 signers!

You need a concrete plan ready to fight back if Trump declares a national emergency to seize control of the midterm elections. He's already hinted at it publicly, telling Newsmax "stranger things have happened" when asked about using emergency powers to force through voting restrictions and potentially deploy ICE agents to polling places. That's not a hypothetical — it's a warning. ICE agents were already spotted at polling locations in Texas during May primaries and in California in June. When Democrats sought answers through FOIA requests, DHS sent back useless press clippings. That stonewalling tells you everything about what's being planned. A national emergency declaration to override federal election law would shatter constitutional precedent, and the response needs to be immediate — legal challenges filed within hours, not days, and coordinated action with state attorneys general and civil rights organizations already in place. What's your plan? I need to know that you are prepared to act the moment this happens, not scrambling to respond after the damage is done.
