| Friend,
Trump’s illegal firing of two Democratic FTC commissioners makes it clear: Now is the time for Congress to step up and oppose this authoritarian regime. No appeasement. If we don’t act now, we won’t get another chance.
Please call your senators right away at 202-688-0628 to make sure they do everything in their power to oppose Trump’s violations of the Constitution.
Here’s a script to get you started: | Hello! My name is [First Name]. I'm a constituent and am calling to ask Sen. [Senator] to respond to Trump’s illegal firing of FTC Commissioners Slaughter and Bedoya.
I urge you to vote “no” on all nominees, halt the Senate’s business — and do whatever it takes to restore constitutional order in this nation.
Stop Trump’s illegal power grabs immediately. |
You will need to call twice to reach both of your senators. Thank you,

| Trump is illegally dismantling federal agencies. Call your senators now: 202-688-0628 |
Friend,
On Tuesday evening, Trump illegally fired Democratic Federal Trade Commissioners Rebecca Kelly Slaughter and Alvaro Bedoya.
In his latest move to dismantle our government and pursue his self-serving and self-dealing ends, Trump defied long-standing Supreme Court precedent.
Independent federal agencies like the FTC are essential to stopping scams, blocking mega-mergers and protecting people — and any effort to undermine that independence is a direct assault on our system of government.
Enough is enough. Your lawmakers have an obligation to do everything in their power to stop Trump. Please call your senators at 202-688-0628 right away.

You will need to call twice to reach both of your senators. We already knew the Trump administration was of, by and for ultra-wealthy billionaires, but these firings are one of his biggest favors yet to the big-tech oligarchs: It's no accident that the president wants to fire the very same public servants who have worked hard to hold the likes of Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos accountable. The FTC’s job is to protect people against corporate abuse, enforce the law and safeguard consumers — exactly the kind of oversight that could keep corporate powers from further abusing everyday Americans.
These illegal firings — bad enough in their own right — are designed to help create a government that responds solely to the wishes of its corrupt executive at the top: Day by day, Trump is moving this country ever closer to a dictatorship.
Trump is tearing down the institutions that protect people from his billionaire donors and other corporate toadies: Please call your senators at 202-688-0628 before it’s too late.
In solidarity,
Heather and the rest of us at Free Press Action  |
