An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Stand up to Trump - Call him out on his constant bullying behavior!

43 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

I am writing as a deeply concerned American to demand that you publicly and unequivocally denounce President Donald Trump’s ongoing pattern of childish, bullying, and demeaning name-calling toward anyone who dares to disagree with him. This conduct is shameful, unpresidential, and corrosive to our democracy. These are not isolated incidents—they are a consistent pattern. President Trump has publicly mocked and insulted elected officials, journalists, and private citizens with language that would be unacceptable in any workplace in America. He has called Governor J.B. Pritzker a “fat slob.” He called Governor Tim Waltz “retarded.” He has referred to female reporters as “piggy.” He has labeled Democratic leaders with insults like “low IQ,” “crazy,” “clown,” “wacko,” and even “traitors.” These are his words—broadcast on national platforms for the world to hear. This behavior demeans the presidency and embarrasses our country on the global stage. World leaders, allies, and adversaries alike see this reckless name-calling and wonder how the United States—the nation that once championed democratic values and moral leadership—could tolerate such conduct from its own head of state. Every day that Congress remains silent is a day that this behavior is normalized. Silence is complicity. It signals to future presidents that cruelty, mockery, and public humiliation are acceptable tools of leadership. They are not. You were elected to protect the dignity of our institutions and to set an example for the country. I am demanding that you speak out clearly, forcefully, and immediately. Condemn this behavior. Defend the standards of decency and respect that Americans deserve from their president. Be on the right side of history. Speak out now.
