Let this piece be a loud warning to the rest of the nation \u2014 Ron DeSantis is scarier and much worse than Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Another bill proposed by Florida Republicans this week would require all bloggers who write about Governor DeSantis, his Cabinet officials, and members of the Florida legislature to register with state and file reports. The measure is specifically aimed at bloggers who are compensated for online posts about elected state officials. Bloggers would have to register with the Florida Office of Legislative Services or the Commission on Ethics; it would not include newspapers and similar websites. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf a blogger posts to a blog about an elected state officer and receives, or will receive, compensation for that post, the blogger must register with the appropriate office \u2026 within 5 days after the first 164 by the blogger which mentions an elected state officer,\u201d the bill states. It was introduced by Republican state Sen. Jason Brodeur from Seminole County.<\/p>\n<p>The bloggers would also need to file monthly reports detailing \u201cwhere, when and by whom the post was published, plus the amount of compensation received. Failure to file reports could lead to fines\u201d per The Hill. A blog is defined in the bill as \u201ca website or webpage that hosts any blogger and is frequently updated with opinion, commentary, or business content\u201d and a blog post as \u201can individual webpage on a blog which contains an article, a story, or a series of stories.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d like to remind everyone that Sen. Brodeur has been under investigation in a Central Florida political \u201cghost candidate scheme.\u201d In October of last year, disgraced Seminole County Tax Collector Joel Greenberg testified on Brodeur\u2019s knowledge of the plots to run bogus candidates, or ghost candidates, in Brodeur\u2019s 2020 state senate race. Multiple other Florida GOPers have been charged for their roles in the scheme.<\/p>\n<p>This is just the start of a very slippery slope. Florida Republicans are boldly showing who they really are \u2014 fascists who only believe in freedom for their own.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808000;\"><a style=\"color: #808000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.authorhouse.com\/en\/bookstore\/bookdetails\/232300-BOXING-INTERVIEWS-OF-A-LIFETIME\">Click Here to Order Boxing Interviews Of A Lifetime By &#8220;Bad&#8221; Brad Berkwitt<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; By Nikki Slusher This article is one that is truly shocking to write.
