John,

President Trump just fired three commissioners on the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) — a nonpartisan agency that protects Americans by ensuring the safety of products like toys, lawn mowers, and coffee makers. [1]

This is exactly what we’ve been warning about. Our system of checks and balances is under attack.

Independent watchdogs like the CPSC exist to protect the public — not to take orders from the president. But Trump’s unlawful firings are part of a dangerous pattern: dismantling critical agencies, silencing oversight, and consolidating power behind closed doors.

We must draw the line. Write to your members of Congress and demand they push back against this abuse of power and protect our independent watchdogs.

This is bigger than just one agency. It’s about preserving the guardrails of our democracy. These firings — and others like it — undermine nonpartisan oversight and show disregard for constitutional powers.

The Constitution created a system where no one branch holds absolute power. But that only works if Congress does its job.

Write your elected leaders now and urge them to do their jobs, defend our Constitution, and stand up for the American people.

Your support is crucial,
The Issue One Team
