An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Take back congressional power over tariffs now

19 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

"President Donald Trump sent the global economy into turmoil last week by imposing tariffs on all foreign goods arriving in the United States. Then he altered his own policy, announcing Wednesday that, excepting a 145 percent tax on goods from China and a 10 percent general tariff, he was pausing the new levies for 90 days. At a moment’s notice, another policy change or even a pointed social-media post from Trump could alter the global business climate, further deplete Americans’ retirement accounts, increase the already growing risk of a recession, undermine job security, and doom the fate of small businesses. No one man should have all that power. But there is an obvious solution—one that has almost been forgotten in the second Trump term. Congress should do its job. The legislature is both duty-bound to address these risks and best-positioned to remedy them. Citizens, for their part, can pressure their representatives to do what’s right." The Atlantic This is me pressuring you to do what's right.
