Rebekah,

Thank you so much for sharing the true story of the past four years with me. There was so much in your piece that I did not know about before. I did not know that you ran against Matt Gaetz. I did not know about the man stalking your son. I did not know about all the threats, the harassment online and the doxxing. I did not know about Pushaw and her lies. And I did not know about Ron DeSantis's hateful persecution of you and your family using the full power of the state of Florida. The media certainly let us all down. This should have made headlines everywhere, every day. Please know that I fully support your work, I admire you for your courage and I hope that you will continue to stand strong as the Good Citizen you are, and this country desperately needs.

Can't blame you at all for fleeing Florida, but if you do come back, make it St. Pete! I want to share that now that I cannot trust scientific data, let alone analysis of it, from the government or the complicit corporate media, I think there is a huge void that you can fill for us! The public still wants accurate information, and I would trust Mesoscale before whatever is being spun on Fox or CNN. You would not have much competition for the truth from the oligarchs and their bros in government and media.

You have a great story keep gathering evidence and then write a book about the tyranny of the government in Florida and then go back and take them to court as you will I'am sure have more data .

Thanks again for all this great info! I might add, on phone security, that we should all assume our phones are hacked by pegasus/glympse type software, especially if you are an activist like Rebekah. Signal may encrypt your message, but what about an unknown hacker watching your screen as you type it? Furthermore, I am 75% certain that my phone can be used as a radar by a hacker, needing only two other fixed points(bluetooth or wifi devices) within range to triangulate it's location. Maybe even form images! If you need to be stealthy, use a pencil and pad and a polaroid

Having been a target of the IG during my employment with the Federal government, I know how these agencies use investigations, financial information subpoenas, intimidation and half truths to push their case. They issue reports without allowing any rebuttals or even reviews and then attempt to use these for further intimidation. I totally sympathize with your plight but have no answers or even suggestions. Glad I am retired and out of the business. I hope more people realize this can happen to anyone (except rich people who can hide behind expensive law firms and don't care). I hope more people decide to support your cause. Being a small fish in an ocean of sharks is pretty scary.
