Former U.S. representative [[Kerry Bentivolio]] reported to National File in late March 2020 that Whitmer and her office had rejected his offer of accepting several thousand facemasks to distribute throughout [[Michigan]].<ref>[https://nationalfile.com/exclusive-former-congressman-gretchen-whitmer-rejected-my-offer-of-facemasks/ EXCLUSIVE — Former Congressman: Gretchen Whitmer REJECTED My Offer of Facemasks]</ref>

Whitmer declared what items are and are not “essential,” dictating to grocery stores what they can and cannot sell. Among nonessential and banned items are seeds for people to grow their own fruit and vegetables during the national emergency. Self-sufficiency and growing fruits and vegetables at home while on lockdown would maintain social distancing by avoiding grocery stores during the pandemic. Lottery tickets and revenue to the state from gambling however, is still permitted.

In addition, Whitmer allows [[abortion]] "services" to maintain because they are supposedly “life-sustaining” (blatantly ignoring the fact that abortion is murder).<ref>[https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/apr/17/gretchen-whitmer-michigan-governor-declares-aborti/ Michigan Gov.

After Whitmer issued new oppressive regulations barring private gatherings “of any size,” a Facebook page called “Michiganders Against Excessive Quarantine” grew to 344.000 followers.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/groups/4035375409821058/</ref>

Whitmer banned motor boats and jet skies, but not canoes and sailboats,<ref>https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/04/crackpot-michigan-governor-whitmer-bans-motor-boats-jet-skis-not-canoes-sailboats-just/</ref> proving her assumption of dictatorial powers to pursue the [[Green New Deal]] anti-[[fossil fuel]] agenda rather than to limit social distancing to protect public health. Whitmer's actions revealed the anti-democratic and totalitarian nature of Leftism and the Democrat party. Michiganders are banned from traveling “between residences” if they own a cottage or a summer home, but the ban only applies to Michigan residents, so an out-of-stater with a cottage in the Upper Peninsula could presumably still visit. The ban also still allows travel between states, so if a Michigander has a cottage in Wisconsin or Ohio, he can travel without fear of being arrested or fined by state police.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/13/the-coronavirus-is-exposing-little-tyrants-all-over-the-country/</ref>

After many Michiganders had been angry over the totalitarian policies, [[Republicans]] in the state legislature introduced legislation to limit Gov. Whitmer's executive powers.<ref>[https://www.mlive.com/public-interest/2020/04/michigan-republicans-introduce-legislation-that-would-limit-gov-gretchen-whitmers-emergency-authority.html Michigan Republicans introduce legislation that would limit Gov.
