Urge Your Members of Congress to Stand Up for Democracy

Contact Congress Today

It has been just over one month since President Trump took the oath of office. In that time, he’s issued over 70 executive orders and numerous executive memos and proclamations that roll back the rights of Americans and violate the constitutional authority of Congress. The Administration has ignored constitutional protections and laws passed by Congress by seeking to end birthright citizenship, dismantling federal agencies, and freezing federal funding.

Checks, balances, and the rule of law are necessary to ensure our democracy continues, yet Congress has taken no action to stop this illegal power grab. It is time for Congress to act. Please ask your Senators and Representative to stand up for our democracy.

A constitutional crisis is unfolding, and at the League, we believe that Congress’ inaction signals its approval of the violation of laws and the Constitution, as well as the Administration's seizure of congressional power. Congress’ power to act is clear. Article I of the Constitution grants Congress all legislative powers and the authority to approve spending in the federal budget.

A failure to act means that Congress is enabling the actions of the executive branch, threatening the rule of law and our Constitution. Every day, congressional inaction jeopardizes our system of checks and balances, our liberties as Americans, and our democracy in its entirety.

It is time for Congress to stand up for the constitution and their constituents. It is time for Congress to resist this power grab and stand in the power that the US Constitution gives them. Contact your members of Congress and ask them to stand up for our democracy.

The League will sent out calls to action to members and other interested parties  from time to time.

We have added a new category of events to our Calendar, Civic Actions. These are not League Events, but are a chance to make your voice heard about issues important to the League, such as town halls and rallies.

This may come and go fairly quickly so watch the calendar for these, and please participate as you can.

Next one of these is the Women's March on March 8 at Old Courthouse Square.
