An open letter to the U.S. Senate (Va. only)

Democrats need a good plan

25 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

Some vital advice, that I believe you can accomplish Senator Kaine, inspired by Liz Cheney: 1. Build a Civilian Oversight Force Form an independent coalition — experts, vets, whistleblowers, journalists — to document and expose corruption in real time. Hold public hearings if Congress won’t. This isn’t about optics — it’s about receipts. Preserve truth as future evidence. 2. Join the International Criminal Court Call their bluff. If you’ve got nothing to hide, prove your party stands for law and human rights. Invite ICC observers. Force the opposition to explain their fear of accountability. 3. Fund Local Resistance Move beyond postcards. Invest in legal defense, rapid-response teams, digital security, and sanctuary networks. If federal power is hijacked, build power under it. Start planning long-term reconstruction now — laws to pass, systems to rebuild, perpetrators to prosecute. 4. Educate the Public Arm people with tools, not slogans: “Know Your Rights” kits, legal guides, encrypted networks. Give the public the means to resist — and survive. 5. Go Global with the Truth U.S. media won’t save us. Feed real stories to international outlets and alternative platforms. Make what’s happening in America a global scandal. 6. Protect Whistleblowers and Welcome Defectors Build anonymous, secure channels for insiders who want out. Stop shaming those who defect. We don’t need purity — we need numbers. Let them help dismantle the machine they once served. 7. Target the System, Not Just the Figurehead Study how others brought down dictatorships. Don’t focus on the man — dismantle the infrastructure. One aide, enabler, and loyalist at a time. Final Note: The Constitution is under threat. Americans are at risk of being silenced — or disappeared. This isn’t a moment for fear or fundraising emails. It’s time for action, courage, and a clear plan. We’re watching. The world is too
