Letter: New Hampshire must resist Project 2025 and Article V convention

Published: 03-20-2025 10:46 AM

In 2008 Putin, Russia’s fascist president, replaced his prime minister’s seat with a close ally followed by a term change from 4 to 6 years. In 2020, a constitutional reform allowed Putin to run for president two more times while increasing the power of the president. is this the playbook for the Trump regime? That could happen at a Article V convention, supported by the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025’s primary source. Can you hear the laughter all the way from Putin’s expansive desk? A convention was recently and surreptitiously touted in New Hampshire by Rick Santorum and Rep. Moffett as a pathway to “fiscal responsibility.” They neglect to tell you all of Project 2025/Article V aspirations. An Article V convention would allow Republicans to write amendments without compromise from Independents or Democrats! Project 2025 outlines their plans to dismantle protections within two years. Pages 531 and 532 regard the transfer of federal lands/wilderness, national parks and monuments. Page 557 regards civil rights, including abortion, diversity, a plan to dissolve fair housing and civil rights acts. Other pages promote destroying the endangered species act and the National Environment Policy Act, instituting term limits for the Supreme Court and tax reductions for the wealthiest. The dangers are not just lurking in the far distance but are upon our doors to undermine the constitution, democracy and freedoms every enlisted service-member and veteran has dedicated their life to. New Hampshire citizens become informed, resist and make your voices be heard!
