Join Dr. Michael Butler, Distinguished Professor of History at Flagler College, for an insightful presentation on the political initiative known as Project 2025 on Wednesday, October 2 at 6 pm at the VFW Post 8696 located at 47 Old Kings Road. Free admission. Doors open at 5:30 pm. Cash bar available.
All are welcome to attend the informational session hosted by “Work Together Flagler” a grassroots community organization. The format includes background information on the policies outlined in the Project by The Heritage Foundation. The themes of the Project appear to align with the policies of Agenda 47, the platform promoted by Republican Party candidate Donald Trump. The event includes a Question & Answer period following the program.
Dr. Butler will take a closer look at how the policies, if implemented, would impact the separation of powers as well as the separation of church and state.
Questions include but are not limited to:
* How would the plan impact the Department of Justice?
* Would the plan cut funding for the National Institutes of Health?
* Does the plan recommend abolishing the Department of Education?
* Would federal civil service workers be replaced by political appointees?
* Would Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid be cut?
* Could the government remove protections against discrimination
including race, religion, sexual orientation and gender identity?
* How would the policies impact the military?
* How would the plan impact the environment?
This is an opportunity to examine a controversial manifesto and gain a deeper understanding of the issues at stake prior to the election. Respectful behavior required in order to participate. For more information: worktogetherflagler@gmail.com.
