Write your Congress Person
Example letter:
Dear [Representative/Senator’s Last Name],
I am writing to you today with growing alarm about the state of our democracy under the current administration. As President Donald Trump has assumed office again in 2025, we are witnessing an alarming disregard for democratic norms and institutions. His executive orders, rhetoric, and actions continue to pose a serious threat to the rule of law, the integrity of our electoral process, and the fundamental principles upon which our nation was built.
One of the most concerning aspects of President Trump’s time in office has been his repeated attempts to circumvent the democratic process, including his inflammatory statements about the 2020 election and his efforts to sow doubt in the legitimacy of future elections. His return to office has only intensified these concerns. Trump’s continued promotion of baseless claims about election fraud, paired with recent moves to centralize power through executive actions, raises serious questions about his commitment to upholding the Constitution.
Under the current administration, we have already seen troubling executive orders that challenge the very fabric of American democracy. These orders have been used to limit voting rights, suppress political dissent, and undermine the separation of powers. The erosion of democratic norms is not hypothetical—it is already happening. Executive orders are being used to alter the structure of our electoral systems, manipulate legal frameworks to favor political allies, and limit the ability of Congress to perform its constitutional oversight function.
We cannot afford to remain passive as President Trump continues to wield his power in ways that are fundamentally undemocratic. It is essential that Congress take immediate action to limit the president’s ability to issue executive orders that threaten our democracy. This includes strengthening checks and balances, ensuring full transparency of presidential actions, and reasserting the role of Congress in safeguarding the Constitution.
The future of our nation hinges on the strength of our democratic institutions. If Congress does not act swiftly and decisively to restore balance and accountability, we risk further undermining the very principles that have made this nation a global leader in freedom and democracy. It is incumbent upon you to take all necessary steps to protect the integrity of our elections and prevent any further erosion of the rule of law.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I trust that you will act in the best interests of the American people, regardless of partisan politics, to defend the democracy that has been entrusted to us.
Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
