Letter to the editor: Project 2025 would end our freedoms

Tribune-Review

During Donald Trump’s first term of office, he did not have the organization nor the people to execute his unlawful and unconstitutional plans. This time around, Trump loyalists and the Heritage Foundation have corrected those past deficiencies. Here is their Project 2025 playbook.

We would quickly devolve into a police state. They have vowed to use the U.S. military against U.S. citizens; to criminalize abortion and prosecute anyone providing abortion pills by mail; and to target and jail critics in the media.

They would corrupt our government and undermine the rule of law by demanding loyalty to Trump and not the Constitution; by firing any federal employee, and civil servant, who questions the party line and replacing them with party lackeys; by demanding that the Justice Department prosecute Trump’s perceived enemies; by rewarding friends and loyalists and terrorizing and punishing critics and people with a different opinion.

They would dismantle our capitalistic economic system by giving further tax cuts to big corporations and Big Money. The inequality of our wealth and income would be exacerbated and would collapse our middle class.

They would end our bedrock principle that separates church from state. We would not be able to follow our beliefs but must conform to the dictates of the state. And we can say goodbye to our constitutional guaranteed five freedoms: speech, religion, press, assembly and the right to petition the government.
