THE PLAN is to take down the US government as we know it. It’s not just an attempt to make it better, it is a call to put the power of the government into the hands of one man controlled by a carefully selected power-hungry and greedy cartel.
It is up to every one of us to stop this plan which is nothing less than a detailed attack on freedom and our representative government. Every week from now to the election, we will highlight sections and current thinking about this plan to put absolute power in the hands of one man.
Regardless of your political affiliation, this plan is a hazard to the US, as well as the peace and freedom of the planet. Please share this or find your own way to take a stand.
Nothing less than a landslide vote on November 5, 2024,
will stop the chosen man and this project.
Please understand this plan and vote blue to stop it. Start with these excerpts from two current articles and the Wikipedia overview in the footer.
Project 2025: The Right’s Dystopian Plan to Dismantle Civil Rights and What It Means for Women
With careful planning, conservatives today are working to make their policy priorities permanent—no matter what happens in future elections. MS. February 8, 2024
“Wealthy right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation has published a detailed plan for the next Republican president to use the executive branch of the federal government to attack the rights of women, LGBTQ people and the BIPOC community, by eliminating the agencies and offices responsible for enforcing civil rights laws and placing trained right-wing ideologues in staff positions throughout the federal government.
Called the 2025 Presidential Transition Project—or “Project 2025,” for short—the plan has “four pillars”:
a presidential personnel database of vetted conservatives,
a Presidential Administration Academy to train these people to achieve the Project 2025 policy agenda, and
a 180-day playbook, which is what they hope to achieve in the first 180 days if Trump takes office in January 2025.
To develop this plan, the Heritage Foundation organized a broad coalition of over 90 conservative organizations—a who’s-who of groups that have led attacks on reproductive rights and bodily autonomy, gender studies, the Equal Rights Amendment and #MeToo initiatives.

Will the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 Turn Trumpism Into a Governing Agenda? Be scared, be very scared. The Nation, 2/8/2024
“This time, the right is intent on turning Trumpism into a governing agenda. The Heritage Foundation, the right’s premier policy institute, has launched a multimillion-dollar Project 2025 to recruit, train and plant MAGA operatives throughout the government, and arm them with clear marching orders.
Project 2025 includes four elements: The 900-plus-page Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise details the right’s agenda for each major department and agency in the federal government; the Playbook, a still secret compilation of executive orders and initiatives for the first 180 days of the administration; a right-wing “LinkedIn” designed to recruit and vet thousands of MAGA movement operatives to staff the government; and a Presidential Academy to train them on how to operate.
Our democracy has moved two steps forward and one step back for a couple hundred years. There have always been losers in every step of the way, which is tragic. But no policies driven by greed and power will come close to generating a larger group of winners. The common people will all become losers
"Respect is such an underated value in our brassy social world which rewards the most disrespectful actions and words. We may not be able to change what we've created but we (read I) could stop giving our attention to it." ~ Joyce Wycoff
Joyce, I am listening to what you are saying and reading the quotes you have included. I want to thank you for bringing my attention to Project 2025 because you piqued my curiosity...enough that I decided to read the Mandate for Leadership, which was originally written in 1979 and published in 1981 during Reagan's time in office. It's a long read....I am only just getting started. I am trying to read it as simply an American, not left or right, conservative or liberal, Republican or Democrat. I've also started looking at the other 3 pillars. I think the idea of being able to take short online courses to learn about the different branches of the government and the inner workings would be really educational. I try to avoid taking what I read in the media at face value since it's mostly skewed, so thank to you I am now doing some research. Thanks for that.
Last week I wrote about respect and the importance of communication and listening to help get our country united. I realize that by commenting here, I am subjecting myself to disrespectful communication. But since I am a firm believer that we each need to call for respectful discourse, I felt that it was important for me to take that chance.
Thanks again for sending me down the Project 2025 rabbit hole. I know I'll learn something.
