A Call for Leadership in Protecting American Values
President Trump and the 119th Congress

These are anxious times for many who see our nation’s democratic values under threat. But for veterans, military families, and concerned citizens alike, we know that supporting and defending our Constitution isn’t met by standing on the sidelines—it’s met by action.
Today, we face a new challenge: defending the values of freedom, justice, and self-governance from forces that threaten our institutions and attempt to divide us. By signing this letter, you’re joining a movement of Americans who won’t sit idle. Instead, we’re stepping forward, determined to protect what makes this nation a beacon of hope and resilience.
This isn’t just a statement. It’s a commitment—a promise to hold our leaders accountable, to preserve the constitutional principles that have guided us for over 200 years, and to show that our American Republic is strongest when those who care about it are willing to act. Our duty to our country and our Constitution doesn’t end with our service; it continues here at home.
Sign your name, stand with us, and let’s defend what truly matters. Together, we’ll make sure that power remains where it belongs—in the hands of the people.

[Your Name]
Dear President and Members of Congress,
We, the undersigned veterans, military families, and American citizens, stand united in a shared commitment to the principles that have made our nation a beacon of hope and freedom. As those who have served our country and made sacrifices to protect it, we call upon you to uphold the founding ideals of our democracy, and to ensure that power remains in the hands of the people, rooted in transparency, fairness, and justice.
The words of the American’s Creed, penned by William Tyler Page in 1918, express the enduring faith we hold in our nation:
“I believe in the United States of America, as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.”
Today, as we look to the future, we ask you to govern with these values at heart. The strength of our nation lies in its ability to remain open, transparent, and just, honoring the rights and voices of all citizens. The strength of our government lies in its ability to advocate for all people. The diversity of our nation is a tenant that uplifts our civilization. The realization of freedom and justice for all is the core of the American experience. We stand ready to protect these principles, and we ask you to join us in this endeavor by:
1) Defending free speech and peaceful assembly, which are essential to our democracy and our shared freedoms.
2) Governing with accountability, respecting the Constitution, and ensuring that power is exercised with the consent of the people.
3) Safeguarding democratic institutions, so that our government remains of, by, and for the people, never allowing power to stray from its rightful place in the hands of the governed.
In signing this letter, we reaffirm our duty to support the United States as a nation of freedom, equality, and justice. We do so in the belief that each signature is an act of solidarity and a call to defend these values. Together, we pledge to honor the legacy of American patriots who sacrificed to build this democracy and to ensure that it remains a government that truly serves the people.
