An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Focus on Present Day Corruption & Crime, Not Lies & Grudges of Years Past

32 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

Focus forward—not on rehashing lies, grudges, and conspiracies but on confronting present-day corruption and crime. The FBI is now reinvestigating the 2023 White House cocaine incident and the leak of the Dobbs draft opinion—despite having closed both cases with no leads and no charges (The Guardian, May 26, 2025). This isn’t public safety. It’s political theater. It’s a distraction designed to deflect from the real dangers threatening our democracy today. President Trump accepted a $400 million plane from Qatar, a violation of the Emoluments Clause (Reuters, May 21, 2025). He has also pushed reckless, economy-shaking tariffs with no congressional approval, prompting lawsuits from multiple states (The Guardian, April 23, 2025). He has stacked independent agencies with loyalists and issued executive orders like 14215 to bring watchdogs under his thumb (Wikipedia, Executive Order 14215). Meanwhile, the DOJ has become a tool for retaliation. Public safety grants are being slashed, immigration raids are increasing, and dissent is being criminalized (NPR, May 24, 2025; Wikipedia, Trump DOJ retaliation 2025). Stop wasting taxpayer money on revenge-fueled investigations and start defending our democracy. The real crimes are happening in real-time. We’re watching, and we expect action.
