New York State Assembly Bill A416 (aka the COVID quarantine camp bill) was proposed and subsequently withdrawn due to vocal opposition last month, but that is not stopping New York Governor, Kathy Hochul. Now she is attempting to bypass the legislative process and grant herself the authority to essentially whisk away and imprison anyone she deems a “public health threat” into detention camps, with no due process. This is nothing more than a power grab and a tool meant to crush the growing dissent in New York and punish dissenters under the guise of public health. This is dangerous territory and absolutely unconstitutional!
The one thing that we have learned over the past two years is that politicians’ and health officials’ draconian and ineffective response to COVID has very little to do with health and everything to do with politics and obtaining more power. Governor Hochul is a perfect example of this and she must be stopped! Please contact your local officials and voice your opposition.

NY Gov Hochul is INSANE!

More from Teachers for Choice:
Hochul is now attempting to give herself the power to detain and imprison anybody without trial who she declares to be a possible public health risk. We all know about Assembly bill A416, the public health gulag bill, which would have allowed the Governor to imprison without trial anyone she declares to be a public health risk. It sat in the assembly for six years and never went anywhere until it was finally withdrawn by the sponsor. So now Hochul will just give herself that power through a regulation. Nothing in the regulation stops her from declaring anyone who has not had the shot as a public health risk and vulnerable to arrest and imprisonment.
Action Alert Via John Gilmore:
New York’s unelected Governor Kathy Hochul is attempting to give herself completely new powers to mandate masks for anyone and any situation whenever she feels it is necessary. She is doing this by issuing a regulation, a process wholly under her control, and completely bypassing the legislature. Regulations are supposed to be rules made by the bureaucracy to implement laws passed by the legislature and signed by the Governor. They cannot legally be used to give the Governor completely new powers. The regulation will become law if not stopped by February 14.
On Friday, Hochul extended the current mask “mandate” for public places until February 10. Last week a Nassau County Supreme Court judge held that the current mask order is illegal because it is a rule issued by the health commissioner, and there is no law that gives either the Governor or the Health Commissioner the authority to require masks. The Judge also noted that we are not in a declared state of emergency during which the Governor may issue temporary executive orders requiring masks. An appellate judge stay was placed on the lower court Judge’s ruling allowing the mask rule to continue pending a final decision.
The proposed regulation includes language that would allow distinguishing “between individuals who are vaccinated against COVID-19 and those that are not vaccinated.” This language would allow mandating only un-vaccinated people to wear masks as a means of punishing dissent and dissenters. Even though we know that the shots do not prevent transmission of Covid, we know that the vast majority of masks in use do not prevent the transmission of Covid, and, of course, it pretends that natural immunity in recovered people does not exist.

Our best bet to stop this regulation is to bring the bill to the attention of the legislators and make them aware that the Governor is bypassing their authority to make laws.
Please get on the phone and call the Governor and let her know that you are opposed to these proposed regulations and her effort to bypass our elected representative and us by sneaking this through as a regulation. And call Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart Cousins and let them know you are opposed to the regulation and want them to exert their authority to make laws, not the Governor and the bureaucrats. Their numbers are below.
Please click HERE to send a message to the Governor, your State Senator, your Assemblymember, and the Public Comment office of the Health Department, letting them know you oppose this regulation.
The regulation is currently in a public comment period. Please submit comments. Public comments become part of the official record and the NYS Department of Health is required to respond to them. The contact information for official submitting a comment:
