I am writing to you today because America has become a terror state—not just in the sense of external threats, but in the daily fear and instability that have taken hold within our own borders. Our people are suffering, and yet we are met with inaction, obfuscation, and silence from those elected to serve and protect us. This is unacceptable. We need decisive action now. Our communities are facing violence, corruption, and systemic failures that threaten our very foundation as a nation. We cannot afford more political posturing, empty statements, or vague reassurances. We need real, tangible steps toward restoring safety, justice, and accountability. Beyond immediate action, we demand transparency. We need to know that a plan is being made to address these issues—and that plan must be shared with the public. Americans deserve to know what is being done, who is responsible, and how we can ensure lasting change. The people you represent are watching. We will not accept complacency. We demand leadership. We demand solutions. And we demand them now. I urge you to respond with clear steps your office is taking to address this crisis. Silence is not an option.
