Governor Lamont says that his medical passport system is just another "tool." Indeed, history shows us how such tools were used by oppressors and enemies of freedom. It is not the place of any Governor to initiate "tools" for enabling collectivism - or even "to keep us safe."

As I predicted, the Lamont campaign is mass mailing ballot applications - of course now only for their target voters. The Dems expanded mail-in voting and redefining of <U+201C>illness<U+201D> has given them the ability to ballot harvest who they choose. Where is the fairness in that?
