An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress; State Governors & Legislatures

Demand Accountability for Controversial Military Actions and Political Threats

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I am deeply concerned about recent events that threaten the foundations of our democracy and the rule of law. The Trump administration's alarming threats against liberal organizations are a direct assault on our First Amendment rights. Such intimidation tactics have no place in a free society and must be unequivocally condemned. Furthermore, I am troubled by reports of controversial U.S. military actions against alleged Venezuelan drug smugglers. These operations raise serious questions about potential extrajudicial killings and violations of international law. As your constituent, I urge you to demand a full, transparent investigation into these incidents and ensure that our military operates within the bounds of law and ethics. The recent legal decision allowing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook to remain in her position is a positive step for maintaining the independence of our financial institutions. However, we must remain vigilant against attempts to politicize these crucial roles. In light of these challenges, I implore you to take a strong stance in defense of our democratic values. We need leaders who will speak truth to power, regardless of party affiliation. Please use your position to: 1. Publicly denounce threats against political opponents and defend free speech. 2. Call for a congressional inquiry into the military actions in Venezuela. 3. Support measures to strengthen the independence of key institutions like the Federal Reserve. The upcoming fundraiser for The Civics Center highlights the critical importance of youth voter registration and engagement. I ask that you support initiatives that encourage civic participation, especially among young people, to ensure a vibrant and inclusive democracy. Our nation faces complex challenges, but we must not shy away from addressing them honestly and directly. I trust you will act with courage and integrity in these trying times.
