Letter to the editor: Dangerous vision for the future

You may not have heard of Project 2025. It is the Heritage Foundation’s vision for our future. Heritage, along with the Federalist Society, are radical-right, ultra-conservative groups that want to restructure our government.

If you like how the Federalist Society has groomed lawyers since their college years with gifts and promises of lucrative positions, and installed them on our Supreme Court to dismantle our freedoms, one at a time, then you will love the Heritage Foundation’s plan for a Republican presidential win in 2024. The foundation has billionaire plutocrats like the Koch, Mercer and DeVos families pouring money into their anti- democratic agenda.

In my opinion, it is all about dismantling our public services so that the ultra-wealthy do not need to pay their fair share in taxes. That is why they are attacking our public schools, the U.S. Postal Service, Social Security and our social safety net. It seems the plutocrats are adamantly against any government service that aims to help the middle class.

They are planning an assault in 2025 on day one of the administration, to fire our civil service workers and replace them with ultra-conservative warriors who pledge loyalty to the president. He will have complete power over the federal departments and agencies, and can negate their ability to ensure our safety, health and freedom from fraud, abuse and harm. The president can take power away from Congress by halting congressionally mandated funding.

Dictatorship here we come; that is their vision.
