I write to you as a concerned constituent deeply committed to the preservation of our democratic principles. While I understand that you have been a steadfast supporter of President Donald Trump, I believe that safeguarding our democracy transcends partisan affiliations. Recent actions and rhetoric from Mr. Trump have raised alarms about the potential erosion of the democratic norms that underpin our nation. His attempts to overturn legitimate election results, attacks on the press, admiration for authoritarian figures, and repeated dissemination of falsehoods pose significant threats to our democratic institutions. Moreover, his recent proposals to expand executive power, including limiting First Amendment freedoms and increasing surveillance of American citizens, further endanger the checks and balances integral to our system of governance. As our representative, your role in upholding the Constitution and the democratic values it enshrines is paramount. I respectfully urge you to: 1. Publicly reaffirm your commitment to democratic norms and institutions, emphasizing that these principles must be upheld irrespective of political allegiance. 2. Advocate for and support legislation that reinforces the separation of powers, ensuring that no branch of government exceeds its constitutional authority. 3. Encourage a return to civil discourse, where differing opinions are debated respectfully, and the truth is held in the highest regard. Our democracy’s strength lies in its ability to withstand challenges through the unwavering commitment of its citizens and leaders to its foundational principles. I trust that you will reflect on these concerns and take actions that honor the oath you have taken to defend our Constitution. Thank you for your attention to this pressing matter. I look forward to your response.
