    Resident decries federal policies, urges action

    Letter to EditorBy Letter to EditorMarch 26, 20252 Mins Read

    Every day, I read the news with dread. Is this true for you, too?

    Republican, Democrat, or Independent — did you vote for our federal government to strip health care away from veterans? Did you vote for our federal government to arrest lawful immigrants with permanent resident status and deport them for no reason? Did you vote for our federal government to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education? Did you vote for members of the National Security Council to illegally use Signal to discuss top-secret plans for an invasion AND accidentally invite a reporter into the chat? Did you vote for an unelected billionaire with no official employment (according to Trump himself) to drastically slash government spending and indiscriminately lay off thousands of employees in order to provide tax cuts for other billionaires? Did you vote for Trump to threaten Canada, our longtime ally and closest neighbor? Are you as horrified by these actions as I am?

    If you are, then please start calling your elected officials to express your concern. And please join your neighbors and thousands of other Minnesotans just like you at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul for the Hands OFF! Rally on April 5. Democracy requires all citizens to use their voices and be heard! We must make it clear to Washington that we will not stand by while they destroy our country and our lives!

    Gretchen Haynes, Eden Prairie
