Biden’s NPS objects to the Protect

statues of George Washington and
Theodore Roosevelt in Portland.
Given the relentless ideological
campaign to abolish any trace of
these Founding Fathers, protect-
ing Mt. Rushmore isn’t merely
necessary, it’s imperative!
Accordingly, on July 24, 2023,
the South Dakota Federation of
