Folks, I wrote what's in the below quote in the JBE Presser thread and maybe this doesn't deserve a thread of it's own, but given that the vast majority of those commenting in the thread obviously do not like what this governor is doing to our state, I'm hoping this will catch on and we can get a movement started to seek the assistance of AG Landry to fight for the rights of the citizens of our state...

Thanks,


quote:

Given the opinion of our Attorney General (with regards to the face mask order), I have written AG Landry asking that he pursue legal means for a restraining order to stop the face mask mandate and to prepare for a legal challenge for what we all suspect is coming...Governor "Honor Code's" inevitable lock-down order.

What the Governor is doing definitely prevents the citizens of the state from "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness". All three of these are interwoven together.

It should be the individual choice of each citizen to wear masks and/or quit their jobs due to fear of catching this virus and not the mandate of the government.

So, now that I'm off of my soapbox, I know this is often asked for other things on this message board, but I would like to ask that we flood the AG's email seeking his assistance in obtaining relief from these unconstitutional mandates by this governor.

I might just wear one, but don't you think it should be an individual's choice?

The AG isn’t the guy to stop it. Your state rep is. They have a mechanism by which they can end all of this.

It is our choice. The problem is that he’s gone after businesses to require it, effectively removing our choice.

Suspected but didn't "know"...

So, you must be the message board police...if it bothers you asked the admins to remove it...I certainly won't lose any sleep over it.

Seems like anyone refusing to wear a mask would have standing to file suit challenging the order.

Have you checked with Gordon or Morris? It’s only one call . . .

Your paltry "message" will not envoke anyone to action if reading Landry's absolute ripper of an opinion didn't.

Stay on the porch and let the big dogs handle this.

And I'm a bit confused why you think Landry needs a bunch of Cajuns flooding his inbox on a subject he's already shown to be on top of and willing to fight.

I agree, but I don't think the legislature is in session right now. I'm not certain what the time frame would be to get a special session or how they can intervene?

Not true. JBE all but called out the OT in his presser today for spreading “misinformation”.

They don’t have to be in Session. They just have to sign a petition.

La. R.S. 29:724(B)(2)

And I hate to tell you, but it is constitutional. That doesn’t mean it’s politically expedient or what’s needed, but it’s not unconstitutional. Start at page 10 here

Should it be up to a smoker if they can smoke in a restaurant or not?

It was just an idea that would hopefully show our collective support and to hopefully ask him to take legal action. It is fairly obvious that the governor (the big dog as someone else stated) does think much of the AG's opinion. But, seeing a lot of the responses in the thread for the press conference it occurred to me that many don't like what the governor is doing...that's it.

Also, if you know of any legal action the AG is actually taking above his opinion letter, please fill us in.

Many businesses like Walmart, Kroger, Home Depot... don't give you a choice. We don't have a Gov issued mask policy where I live in MS but most businesses require a mask to enter.

You do realize the AG has ZERO power over this, right?
