Public Health officials have too much power, and fear grips the minds of citizens. As a Mayor, how would you go against masks, lockdowns, and the vax without coming across as the "Qanon conspiracy quack" ?
My thought is to find very short and credible pieces of true science and start an info campaign well ahead of the next plandemic. But I would want to have a different group disseminate it. Then I can facilitate an intelligent discussion that empowers the people.
Other suggestions? Stealth ideas? Specific pieces of info you suggest using?
In general, this exercise/hypothetical could be good for any of us who are in elected positions (I am not... yet). I value your insights.
Randy Kelton, host of Rule of Law Radio, filed a 62 page criminal complaint against the Governor of Texas for his violations of law during COVID. The governor soon changed his policies afterwards. For now, it is a very educational brief and an example of how to write a clear legal document:

C. Primary Political Protection
Knowing the tendency of power to corrupt, the Legislature, in delegating operational authority to the Governor, placed strict limits on that authority. The limit being that the Governor could issue orders to public agencies and employees, but not to the public itself. That power was restricted to the legislature. The intent of our founders in this regard can hardly be misconstrued on reading the Texas Constitution Bill of Rights as Section 28 which reads as follows:
Sec. 28. SUSPENSION OF LAWS. No power of suspending laws in this State shall be exercised except by the Legislature.
Well, the governor suspended laws on his own and violated the constitution.
This comment needs better visibility.
Kelton didn't file the complaint to put anyone in jail, but rather to apply political pressure. Everyone who touched the complaint and did not process the complaint as the law commanded, then got their own criminal complaint.
Gotcha. So it’s not necessarily “the thing”, but it did contribute to “turning up the heat”.
Is this sort of thing filed against the bonds of their offices, or them personally? It seems like a similar thing to what Martin Geddes has been doing in the UK, leveraging common and constitutional law, but it’s not clear what this is called to look up how to do it.
It did seem like his website probably had some information on what he did.
