An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Block the coup now or else resign. It's a constitutional emergency

869 so far! Help us get to 1,000 signers!

You are betraying your oath. Stop this catastrophic and criminal coup NOW. We did not send you to Congress to do nothing while the constitution gets shredded. You are presiding over a criminal dismantling of our Government and our alliances. If you aren't brave enough to speak out to stop it, to condemn Trump and Musk, then resign. Now. You should be aghast at the disgraceful conduct of Hegseth and Vance in Munich. You should be against that Vance is meeting with the successors to Nazis. You should be aghast that Trump is proposing war crimes. People will die as a result of the illegal actions of Musk and his gang and the policies of RFK jr. What do you think of RFK jr's leadership as the first human cases of Avian flu are reported? What about the severe flu season? The measles outbreak in Texas? What about firing cancer researchers and nuclear weapons technicians-- and then not being able to rehire the latter? What about the disruption to air traffic control caused by Trump? And the air 6 crashes in less than a month after none for 16 years? What about it? Is this okay with you? People have already died because of the interruption of USAID. What about Trump's multibillion dollar costs to attend the Super Bowl and Daytona 500? Was that necessary? Have you listened to what your constituents think of cuts to social security and Medicaid in order to fund tax cuts for the oligarchs?? Are you going to let the national parks be ruined? We did not vote for any of this. It's time to stop all regular business: call out the coup and stop it. Bring charges of impeachment against Trump and Vought. Summon rogue agency heads in to answer questions. Impeach them too. If you aren't brave enough to say NO and uphold the constitution as you swore to do, then step aside. History will judge you for your inaction. If you don't have the courage to speak out and mobilise opposition, if all you can do is enable the tyrant, then RESIGN NOW. The disastrous tyranny of Trump and King Elon is going to bring illness, chaos, suffering, and even deaths at home and abroad. You are complicit in all that loss and damage unless you do your utmost to block it now, using every mechanism available to you as a member of Congress. If you are unwilling or unable to do what you can to block the illegality and destruction of this coup, then step down.
