Save the Department of Education

To: Sen. Wyden, Rep. Salinas, Sen. Merkley

From: A constituent in Wilsonville, OR

March 21

I understand that President Trump signed an executive order today calling for the dismantling of the U.S. Education Department. I am sick over this, but I’m also angry. Trump doesn’t have the authority to eliminate the Department of Education. The department is created by statute; changing a statute requires approval from Congress. So what are/will you be doing to take your power back and protect this department? I’m sick of seeing Congress cede their power in these decisions. We have a Constitution. We have a system of laws. Congress needs to take its power back, protect our institutions, and protect public education, about which I care very deeply.
