A Message to Duly Elected Representatives and Senators,

American Workers are amplifying our voices — a respite from being heads down and hard at work every single day, keeping this nation running, yet silenced and ignored in Washington, D.C., until election season.

To the Honorable [Full Name of Your U.S. Representative]
U.S. House of Representatives
[Their Washington, D.C. office address]

And to the Honorable [Full Name of Your First U.S. Senator]
And the Honorable [Full Name of Your Second U.S. Senator]
United States Senate
Washington, D.C. 20510

Subject: We Must Replace You to Restore the Republic

Dear Representative [Last Name] and Senators [Last Name] and [Last Name],

While we were busy working, surviving, and trying to provide for our families, the Republic was being sold out from under us. While we went to work with a knot in our stomach, corporations and their lobbyists turned our elected officials into servants of the donor class. While we played by the rules, they changed the rules — until the constitutional guarantee of a Republican Form of Government became just another paper tiger.

For five long decades, little by little, Congress has been controlled by corporate donors, K Street lobbyists, and foreign-influenced interests over the people. By a system that treats corporations as “persons” and money as “speech,” real workers have been reduced to replaceable costs. Corporate profits have soared while working families struggled.

This was not inevitable—it was a deliberate, organized choice to keep a gradually increasing share of money previously earmarked for wages. For 40 years, there was “a phenomenon” where the workers’ share of the pie was nearly 67%. Now, it’s just 53%, allowing employers to retain $31 trillion since 1971.

We have no confidence that corporations will ever allow you to act in the interest of people, either in normal times or during emergencies.

While corporate profits soar, lobbyists control your priorities in the DC echo chamber, so our emergencies never become yours. Urgency has no seat at the table.

This is what urgency looks like—95 million Americans living near or in poverty, millions of children whose futures are being stolen while going to bed hungry, and millions of seniors who worked their entire lives only to face insecurity in their final years. There’s an ongoing replacement of the American working class as both workers and consumers, starting with 50 million foreign workers, and now by AI.

Workers Input

Proper Wages are the Key.

Our Constitutionally supported labor laws are also a paper tiger and do not protect coworkers when we ask for a raise or any improvements.

If just one of you had ever stood up, without being prompted, and declared:

“The family is the most important unit in American life, and wages are the lifeblood of families. Everything is connected to adequate wages. Every American worker must be protected when exercising Section 7 rights, regardless of unionization.”

Things could have been different.

But that day never came.

---

If there was any record of even one of you saying:

“No, corporations are not people, and money is not speech. That is clearly not what the United States Constitution intended.”

Things could have been different.

But that day never came.

---

Your silence is damning evidence of your complicity in the destruction of our Republic.

Your continued silence and our amplified voice will restore the Republic.

As corporate proxies, you have continuously divided, distracted, and overwhelmed us while we struggled to keep our lights on as wages decline and costs increase. We’re awake, now, and will no longer accept a Congress that serves corporations first.

The Ideal of Political Parties Is Dead to Us.

We will exploit their weaknesses to replace you — and then decide their fate.

This is not a threat. This is reality. The sleeping giant that is the American worker has finally awakened. We, the millions of American workers who have been without a voice for far too long, will no longer accept a Congress that serves corporations first.

The time for corporate-first politics is over. We are instead choosing new representatives from among us to do what the people want.

Sincerely,

[Your Full Name]
[Your Address]
[City, State, ZIP Code]
