Time to call out our "constitutionalist" republican senators!

Fellow Texans who are concerned and want to take action!

Our republican representatives need to feel the pressure. It's unquestionable that what's happening is unconstitutional. In fact, our very own Senator Ted Cruz wrote a 53 page chapter for Harvard on it called The Obama Administration's Unprecedented Lawlessness (only in 2015). He also wrote a shorter essay (linked below) on it called The Imperial Obama and the Demise of Checks and Balances. It's honestly a very well written and argued piece. AND IT'S TIME TO REMIND HIM ABOUT IT! Call his office! Both your local office and his DC office. Write him letters. Remind him that the reputation he crafted as being a constitutionalist is a complete sham if he does not stop the ongoing executive overreach by Trump.

Phone call or letter script: Hi this is [NAME] calling from [ZIP CODE] in Texas.

I’d like to express my concern at the concentration of power in the Executive Branch and demand that Senator Cruz vocalize his concern and do everything in his power to curb the ongoing Executive Overreach by President Trump.

I’m going to read Senator Cruz’s own words from his essay entitled “The Imperial Obama Presidency and the Demise of Checks and Balances.” In Senator Cruz’s words: “the President cannot act until Congress does.”

“In the absence of a functioning system of checks and balances, the only way to put a stop to presidential lawlessness is for the American people to rise up and demand it. To ensure that the imperial excesses of the Obama presidency are never repeated, the people must elect constitutionalists—those who will respect and adhere to the constitutional design above all else, including party loyalty and ideology. The future of our constitutional order, which secures our liberty, depends on it.”

I am the people and I am demanding that Senator Cruz, a constitutionalist who the State of Texas elected, adhere to the constitutional design above all else, including party loyalty and ideology and put a stop to Executive Overreach by President Trump.

Read the essay! Share it with your fellow Texans. Share it with journalists that have the power to ask him questions. We deserve better. https://constitutingamerica.org/the-imperial-obama-presidency-and-the-demise-of-checks-and-balances-guest-essayist-u-s-senator-ted-cruz/
