The message:

President Trump has deployed thousands of National Guard troops to American cities in an egregious misuse of the military domestically.

Earlier this year, he responded to anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles by deploying thousands of federalized National Guard troops – despite objections from the governor. Then he seized control of Washington, D.C.’s police department and called out the National Guard to police the streets of D.C. And he’s threatened to deploy the National Guard in other major cities across the country.

The administration is also reportedly planning to send thousands of troops to ICE detention centers, turbo-charging ICE’s cruel operations to detain and remove immigrants while equipping military bases to detain more immigrants under dangerous, abusive conditions.

Make no mistake: These actions are dangerous for troops, immigrants, and all of us – and take the National Guard away from their normal jobs, like helping communities facing devastation from natural disasters. Tell Congress: Stop the administration from using military troops and bases for immigration arrests and detention. Stop the misuse of the military.

Subject:

Subject No Troops on Our Streets. No Misuse of the Military.

Body:

As your constituent, I'm writing to condemn President Trump's reported plans to deploy National Guard troops into our communities and to ICE detention centers – and I'm calling on you to block this escalation from the Trump administration. These actions are unnecessary, inflammatory, and a dangerous abuse of power.

This deployment would pull the National Guard away from the essential work they’re trained to do in truly extreme situations – like responding to natural disasters, public health emergencies, and other real community needs. President Trump is attempting to write himself a blank check to use the military as part of his own personal deportation force.

I urge you to block the deployment of National Guard troops for immigration enforcement in states around the country and conduct oversight over immigration detention at military bases.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.

Alternate salutation *

Most elected officials’ constituent email systems accept a very limited set of salutations. Please select the one you would most prefer.
