Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Is AMAC’s 2022 Man of the Year
The Association of Mature American Citizens ^ | January 27, 2023 | AMAC, John Grimaldi

Posted on 01/28/2023 6:59:57 PM PST by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

WASHINGTON, DC, Jan 27 — Americans continue to relocate to Florida in record numbers. The sun and fun of the sunshine state has a lot to do with it but don’t discount the attraction of the state’s governor, Ron DeSantis. He’s just as popular across the country as he is in his own state. Governor DeSantis was the pick for the Association of Mature American Citizens’ 2022 Man of the Year for the majority of the voters of its 2.4 million members, according to AMAC’s CEO Rebecca Weber.

“Once again they showed their preference for leaders who stand up for America’s Constitutional ideals,” Weber said. “He is a huge proponent of election integrity. He signed legislation into law in 2022 that establishes an Office of Election Crimes and Security within the Florida Department of State. He is a dedicated proponent of ID requirements for absentee vote-by-mail ballots. He signed a sweeping voting bill establishing a new election police force and created harsher penalties for ballot harvesting and instituted deterrences to non-citizen voting.”

One Man-of-the-Year voter said “DeSantis is no-nonsense. He is a doer. He has been on offense every single day taking actions to push back and make substantive changes to move Florida back towards the ideals this country was founded on. Easy #1 choice.” Another voter said he “chose DeSantis because he has all around been a great representative of conservatism on many fronts.”

Other AMAC members who participated in the voting said they liked the way he handles issues such as the bill he supported that targets the teaching of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in Florida’s public K-12 schools and CRT instruction in the workplace. The bill passed the legislature and was signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis in 2022. Others cited his parental rights legislation and the way he dealt with the Walt Disney Company’s “woke” policies, which wound up getting the company’s head of corporate affairs fired. As one participant in the poll put it, “I admire DeSantis because he stands up to all the woke idiot companies and the backwards way of thinking! He’s a man with a backbone who does the right thing for the people.”

The evil of the Globalist Left. Once it’s groovy to industrialize the slaughter and processing of pre-born babies, cutting on them when they are children is also groovy. We are become as God, remaking them in our own image.

You are correct, my good FRiend, in that DeSantis has not announced candidacy for 24 POTUS nom.

Yet, anyhoo.

My reading of the "tea leaves" (just my guess) tells me that he'll wisely wait for a while, doing great things as Florida Gov, and build a network of support, and let some other contenders announce first.

I agree.

He needs to solidify FLA in all things great.
It wasn’t long ago the libs damn near stole it.

Trump is running 2024. No need for interference or divisiveness from DeSantis.

I will support both as it is in their respective time.

Trump is the divider. DeSaantis is the united.

Trump lost the independents and is losing his base.

OTOH, DeSantis has shown he can turn blue to red.

DeSantis was MAGA before Trump and helped Trump win in 2016.

You keep telling that out and out lie. Trump pulled Desantis over the finish line in '18. Even Desantis admits that. Are all Desantis fluffers liars like you?

These TDSers don’t like Trump’s style. They are political Republican dilettantes.

I know.

Trump took the time to stop at a dairy drive up and the lady at the counter took his hand and prayed with him.

That isn’t scripted, it does inflame the satan loving left though.

No it is not. He became a MAGA congressman in 2012, Trump was still trying to figure out which party he belonged to after his many switches.

In 2016 MAGA congressman DeSantis rallied for Trump after Trump jumped onto the MAGA bandwagon.
