Project Mail
Storm is officially rolling.

We're flooding the system with handwritten letters - day after day, generation by generation.
Not to yell, not to beg... just to apply peaceful, relentless pressure in the one place they can't ignore: the mailroom.

Stop the coup Text SIGN PTAWZC to 50409 β€” I am writing to you today out of deep concern for the state of our nation and the ongoing actions that are undermining the core principles of our democracy. Every day that you permit the seizure of congressionally appropriated funds, you are allowing one more step toward tyranny and authoritarianism. The illegal actions taken by President Trump to block these funds not only violate the rule of law but also nullify Congress’s constitutionally-mandated power of the purse. This cannot continue. Equally concerning is the unchecked behavior of individuals like Elon Musk, who has illegally fired federal employees and dismantled congressionally created agencies. These actions too directly erode the authority and role of Congress. By remaining silent in the face of this destruction, you are complicit in the death of the Constitution and the rise of an American dictatorship. The American people are watching as these threats to our democracy unfold, and yet there has been little to no meaningful action from Congress. Your inaction is allowing our nation’s founding principles and our laws to be trampled upon. This is not just an issue of political disagreement, it is a matter of life or death for our country. This is a coup and I beg you to act for there is no room for complacency. The American people deserve better. You must act now to protect the agencies that serve this nation and prevent further destruction. Furthermore, it is time to demand accountability for those who are exploiting our resources for their own gain. If you are truly concerned about waste and corruption, you should pass legislation to end Trump’s extravagant trips, and stop allowing the wealthy to take advantage of our system at the expense of everyday Americans. I urge you to stop the unanimous consent in the Senate, and to reject any budget proposal that slashes critical social services like Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare, simply to benefit the richest among us. Your actions, or inactions, will determine the future of our democracy. I await your response, and I hope you will take immediate action to stand up for the American people and protect the very fabric of our nation.

If SSA payments were halted due to massive layoffs, IT issues, or other disruptions, it’s crucial to contact the congressional committees overseeing SSA operations. Below are the relevant committees, their current chairs, and contact information:

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it isβ€”this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.
