Two Questions for Governor Desantis That Voters in New Hampshire Should Ask:

Question #1:

Why did you sign into law, on May 3, 2021, a new law in Florida, identified as Florida Chapter Law 2021-8, that provides as follows:

Amends Section 381.00315, Florida Statutes, to read as follows, in pertinent part-

“2- (d) The State Health Officer, upon declaration of a public health emergency, may take actions that are necessary to protect the public health. Such actions include, but are not limited to:

4. Ordering an individual to be examined, tested, vaccinated, treated, isolated, or quarantined for communicable diseases that have significant morbidity or mortality and present a severe danger to public health. Individuals who are unable or unwilling to be examined, tested, vaccinated, or treated for reasons of health, religion, or conscience may be subjected to isolation or quarantine.

a. Examination, testing, vaccination, or treatment may be performed by any qualified person authorized by the State Health Officer.

b. If the individual poses a danger to the public health, the State Health Officer may subject the individual to isolation or quarantine. If there is no practical method to isolate or quarantine the individual, the State Health Officer may use any means necessary to vaccinate or treat the individual.

c. Any order of the State Health Officer given to effectuate this paragraph is immediately enforceable by a law enforcement officer under s. 381.0012.”

[emphasis added]

–>So, does this mean that anyone who refuses a vaccine can be interred in some type of concentration camp like was done to Japanese American citizens during World War II?

Sidenote: As the presidential race heats up, there appears to be a push by some in Florida to try to hold a special session of the legislature to remove from this terrible law the most offense portions. But it almost certainly has nothing to do with the presidential race and the FITN primary in NH, right!?

Question #2:

While it appears you claim to support Second Amendment rights, and you brag about having adopted what you call “Constitutional Carry” in Florida, why does Florida still have a long list of places at which concealed carry, licensed or not, is prohibited, and why is open carry still prohibited in Florida?

Contrast this with New Hampshire’s real, genuine Constitutional Carry legislation adopted in 2017.

Further on this issue:

Why was it that when you appeared for a speech in Laconia recently you insisted on having metal detectors at the doors, consistent with the claim by some that you will only appear at events in so-called “gun-free zones?”

Sidenote: This author has not endorsed anyone in the Republican primary in New Hampshire.

                     Yet.
