An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Don’t be an accessory after the fact.

15 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

An accessory after the fact is someone who knowingly assists a person who has committed a crime, after the crime has occurred, with the intent to help them avoid arrest, trial, or punishment. This assistance can include actions such as hiding the offender, providing false information to law enforcement, or disposing of evidence. As the president continues to unroll unlawful executive orders that usurp congressional authority over spending appropriations and the republicans in congress sit idly by yielding their own power to Elon Musk and his wrecking ball, you are becoming accessories in one of the grandest crimes against the American people ever perpetrated. Whether you agree with the cuts or not is not the point. The point is that you are allowing the constitution and our system of laws to be trampled into the dirt in a way that we may not be able to recover from. You have the power to do what you want, but please exercise the power to do what is right.
