TOMORROW! Join the anti-Emergency Manager Law protest at the state Supreme Court

Public Act 4: Anti-democratic, anti-American

Tomorrow, Wednesday, July 25th, the Michigan state Supreme Court will hear arguments regarding the petitions used to gather signatures to put Public Act 4, Michigan’s Emergency Manager Law. At issue is whether or not a concocted lie about the font size of a single phrase on the petition, “REFERENDUM OF LEGISLATION”, is enough to disenfranchise Michigan voters and throw away the voice of the nearly quarter million people who signed the petitions.

You can join the protest at the Supreme Court tomorrow and free bus rides are available from around the state. Details are below.

The tax money-wasting delay tactic of bringing this to the Supreme Court is just that: a delay tactic. Proponents of the anti-democratic, ant-American law know that it is their best interest to keep things in a state of disarray for as long as possible. It prevents an effective campaign to pass the repeal from being mounted and, more importantly, it keeps Public Act 4 in place until right before the election. Recall that, once enough petition signatures have been certified, the law immediately goes on hold.

The Board of State Canvassers isn’t going to make a decision on ANY of the ballot measures, in fact, until “no later than September 22nd”, giving just over a month to get out the vote for any of them.

But the first step is for the Supreme Court to do the right thing and force the Board of State Canvassers to certify the petitions.

You can join the protest at the Supreme Court tomorrow. There are free buses from around the state, sponsored by Detroit Rainbow Push. Details are below and visit their Facebook page for more information.
