An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Stop the war on words.

13 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

Why is it that those who whine the most about being censored despite being the first to lie and manipulate the truth are the most aggressive censors when they gain power. “The Trump administration has issued a list of words that are reportedly banned or flagged for scrutiny in federal grant applications. These include terms related to diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI), and gender identity. Examples include: • Diversity-related terms: diversity, equity, inclusion, diverse communities, fostering inclusivity. • Gender-related terms: gender, female, women, transgender, nonbinary. • Race and ethnicity: Black, Hispanic, BIPOC, minority. • Other flagged terms: advocacy, activism, barriers, implicit bias, disability, cultural differences. These restrictions are part of broader executive orders targeting DEI initiatives and other policies deemed inconsistent with the administration’s priorities.” Burning books will be next. Then they will start hauling people away. There is nothing Christian or democratic about what is being perpetrated by the executive branch right now. This pattern of abuse will destroy our country, our people and our economy. You really should be standing up and putting a stop to this madness. We don’t want a king or a dictator but we are a ways down that road. Let it go too far and there is no coming back. You are the safeguard. Take that responsibility for your constituents’ and country’s sake.
