Defend Democracy—Stop Trump and DOGE’s Treasonous Power Grab

To: Sen. Budd, Sen. Tillis, Rep. Edwards

From: A constituent in Waynesville, NC

March 22

This is a direct appeal to action: defend democracy or be remembered as enablers of its destruction. Trump, with the help of Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), is executing an illegal power grab under the false pretense of “efficiency.” In reality, they are dismantling constitutional checks and balances, bypassing Congress, ignoring court orders, and allowing a private citizen with massive conflicts of interest to control federal operations. This is not reform—it is treason. You know it. We all do. And still, most of you remain silent. DOGE is diverting taxpayer money, eroding civil liberties, and undermining the authority of both Congress and the courts. These are impeachable abuses of power. If this isn’t the line, then there is no line left. The only thing standing between democracy and authoritarian rule is your willingness to confront it—even when the threat comes from within your own party. It is your duty to investigate, legislate, and stop this betrayal of the Constitution. History is watching. Your constituents are watching. Choose the right side.
