When Donald Trump illegally deployed the National Guard to Southern California just a few short months ago, we knew that wouldn’t be the end of his authoritarian impulses.

Now, he’s deployed the military to patrol American citizens in Washington DC. And the scenes there resemble something out of a banana republic:

Trump is forcing American servicemembers to observe, surveil, and report their fellow citizens on the streets of our nation’s capital — a brazen, illegal power grab.

Slowly but surely, Donald Trump is turning our nation into a military police state. And that’s why I need your help.

Will you sign your name and become a Community Endorser of my new letter to Congress? Every signature we gather helps us show Republicans that ordinary Americans like you stand against Trump’s tyrannical consolidation of power.
