The current administration's actions are a direct assault on our democratic institutions and present an existential threat to the republic. We cannot treat this as a routine transition of power between parties. The rampant lies, blatant disregard for the rule of law, and efforts to consolidate authoritarian control constitute a clear break from our constitutional order. As an elected representative, your sworn duty is to defend democracy and uphold the will of the people you serve. Failing to forcefully confront the regime's anti-democratic impulses is to be complicit in the dismantling of our freedoms. Stand firm against the onslaught of disinformation and reject any attempts to undermine the foundations of our system of government. The future of our nation depends on leaders who will courageously resist this accelerating slide towards oligarchic tyranny. The American people are looking to you to be a bulwark against this existential threat to liberty. Upholding your oath demands resolute action to preserve and protect our imperiled republic.
