Risks to the checks and balances of our democracy affect every citizen, regardless of political affiliation.
When executive power goes unchecked, it weakens Congress's ability to represent you and your community's interests. This undermines the fundamental principle that citizens govern through their elected representatives.
Diminishes Congress's power to protect local values and individual freedoms from federal overreach. Weakens your representative's ability to fight against unwanted regulations and spending.
Reduces Congress's capacity to advance community priorities and protect local interests. Weakens your representative's power to advocate for needed programs and reforms.
A constitutional crisis threatens the fundamental system of checks and balances that prevents any single branch of government from becoming too powerful.
Undermines the constitutional limits on federal power that conservatives have long championed. Weakens states' rights and local autonomy.
Threatens democratic oversight and accountability mechanisms that protect civil rights and prevent abuse of power.
When constitutional boundaries are ignored, it sets dangerous precedents that can lead to the erosion of legal protections for all citizens.
Weakens property rights and individual liberties that depend on consistent application of law. Threatens traditional values protected by the Constitution.
Endangers civil rights protections and equal treatment under law. Threatens environmental and consumer protection regulations.
Your voice matters in this crucial moment for our democracy.
