An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Impeach Trump for Threatening Political Persecution

25 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

I am writing to express my grave concern over recent statements made by President Trump and his administration following the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk. These statements, which threaten to use state power to persecute political opponents, represent a clear abuse of power and warrant immediate impeachment proceedings. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller has vowed to "dismantle" left-wing organizations using state power, labeling the entire left a "domestic terrorism movement." This rhetoric, echoed by President Trump, goes far beyond acceptable political discourse and poses a direct threat to our democratic institutions. They have suggested using law enforcement, potentially including RICO charges, to shut down leftist groups without providing specifics on targets or evidence of wrongdoing. It's crucial to note that data does not support characterizing the left as a unique national security threat. In fact, left-wing figures have widely condemned Kirk's murder. The administration's response appears to be a dangerous opportunistic attempt to silence political opposition rather than a measured response to a genuine threat. The use of a tragic death to justify broad political persecution is not only morally reprehensible but also unconstitutional. It violates the First Amendment rights of Americans and undermines the very foundations of our democracy. This behavior is precisely what the impeachment process was designed to address – a president abusing his power for political gain at the expense of the nation's interests. I urge you to initiate impeachment proceedings against President Trump immediately. The integrity of our democratic system and the safety of all Americans, regardless of political affiliation, depend on swift action to check this abuse of power. We cannot allow the office of the presidency to be used as a tool for political retribution and the suppression of dissent. Time is of the essence. Every day that passes with these threats hanging over our citizenry erodes public trust and emboldens those who would use violence for political ends. Please act now to uphold your oath to defend the Constitution and protect the rights of all Americans.
