An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Targeting Political Opponents Is Not Justice - Stand For Democracy!

12 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

I’m concerned about reports that the Trump administration is using the Justice Department and FBI to target Americans based on their political beliefs. A December 18 Washington Post article states that federal agencies have been instructed to compile files on activists, protesters, and critics labeled as 'domestic extremism,” even without evidence of violence or illegal acts. This isn't law enforcement—it's political harassment. Such actions resemble autocracy more than democracy. No government should be permitted to leverage federal authority against individuals for their speech or beliefs. This breaches a dangerous boundary and harks back to dark chapters in our history. It shouldn’t matter whether someone leans left or right; what counts is that the government respects the Constitution. I urge you to speak out, seek transparency, and demand an independent investigation. Americans have a right to know if their government is turning its power inward and targeting its own citizens. Please let me know what you're doing to protect our democracy.
