An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

Oppose Trump's Corrupt Abuse of Power and Reckless Trade War With Canada

191 so far! Help us get to 250 signers!

You need to stand up and publicly oppose what is happening in this administration. Trump signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario "Lake America" as a petulant retaliation against Canada in a trade war he started — one that is damaging both economies while handing China an opening to deepen its trade relationship with our northern neighbor. This is not governance. It is a vanity project from a president who, according to the Wall Street Journal, spends his days focused on ballroom drapes and triumphal arches while Republicans privately worry he is costing them the midterms. The pattern is clear and it is corrupt: gut agencies like USAID through illegal impoundment and demolition so the destruction becomes a fait accompli before courts can intervene, bully tech companies like Google into rewriting maps to stroke his ego, and demand that Canada surrender its sovereign trade policy to Washington as a condition of peace. His tariffs have pushed prices up, his Iran war is deeply unpopular, and nearly two-thirds of Americans say ICE has gone too far. None of this serves constituents — it serves one man's need to perform dominance. Your silence is not neutrality. Call out the renaming stunt for what it is. Demand accountability on the illegal impoundments. Push back on a trade war that benefits no one except Beijing. Voters are watching, and they are done with this circus.
