An open letter to the U.S. Congress Condemn authoritarian invasion of US cities
7 so far! Let’s get to 10 signers! As your constituent, I am writing to express my outrage and alarm over the Trump administration's use of federal forces to invade states and quash protests without being requested to do so by local authorities. Not only is this authoritarian behavior in stark contrast to the GOP's long-standing belief in less federal government and more states' rights, but it's a darkly disturbing abuse of power by Donald Trump and his politically motivated appointees. I have never been more frightened of my own government in my 50+ years. As Members of Congress, you have a duty to speak out and condemn Donald Trump and Attorney General Barr for their destruction of democratic values. As your constituent, I demand that you use the power of your position to end this alarming descent into dictatorship. Thank you.
