To the Editor:

When will our president’s abuse of power reach the threshold where Republican legislators say “enough”?

So far, we’ve seen them support or condone such actions as the harassment, arrest and/or indictment of Americans who disagree with or criticize the president; multiple troop deployments on American soil; large tariffs on key allies; threats to Greenland’s sovereignty; large funding cuts to Medicaid and important federal entities including the Social Security Administration, FEMA, CDC, HHS, Education, EPA and National Parks Services; release of Americans’ personal data to unauthorized parties; inappropriate promotion of Trump cybercurrency; irresponsible claims against important medicines; habeas corpus violations; and more.

Our president abuses executive power to further personal and partisan objectives in ways that are seemingly unconstitutional or illegal and that often violate societal, domestic and international norms. He is purposefully tearing our great nation apart, alienating key allies and driving foreign adversaries into anti-U.S. alliances. And Republican legislators enable him.

Please call or email them regularly to tell them what you disagree with. Contact information for Reps. Ryan Mackenzie, Dan Meuser and others; Sen. David McCormick; and other congressional leaders are easily found online.

Speak up. Our nations’ and our children’s futures are at stake.
