Call on Rep. LaHood to hold a town hall - a petition for #IL16
#DarinLaHood
Since the inauguration of the current administration and Congress, many of us in IL-16 have watched with deep concern as the Executive Branch has assumed powers that rightfully belong to Congress as written in the Constitution. This includes: - Ignoring laws that hold the Executive Branch accountable to Congress for interfering with independent agencies. - Dismantling federal agencies that were created by Congress - Withholding funds appropriated by Congress - Allowing private citizens, who have not been confirmed by Congress, to take on powerful roles with access to government data, state secrets, and the ability to fire federal employees. Every day that these issues go unaddressed, Congress loses more authority, bringing us closer to a Constitutional crisis. Because of this, we, the undersigned citizens of IL-16, call on Rep. Darin LaHood to hold an in-person town hall—open to the public—during the March Congressional recess or any other time he is free and in the district. Civility Pledge: We believe in open and constructive dialogue. We pledge to engage in discussions with civility and ensure this town hall remains a space for meaningful conversation that upholds the democratic values of our nation.
Show up to let 16th District US Congressman Darin LaHood know know how you feel. The dismantling of the Federal government is UNLAWFUL. "It is a coup! The "cuts" that Musk and Trump are imposing through computer hacking relate to funds that Congress has already appropriated--and which must be "duly executed" by the president. If Musk and Trump want to effectuate future cuts to budgets, they must convince Congress to pass an appropriations bill that makes such cuts." says Robert Hubbell. The Congress, which includes Representative Darin LaHood, need to put a stop to this. They must feel the power of their constituents calling them out. They are up for election every two years. They want to stay in power. We must let them know that by going along with Musk and Trump, they are not doing what YOU elected them to do.
