    Special Interest Groups Expected to Spend Staggering Amount  to Hijack Michigan's Constitution

    Lansing, MI--Citizens Protecting Michigan's Constitution (CPMC), a diverse group of tax payers and job providers today pledged to stand-up for Michigan's working families after campaign finance reports this week revealed that outside special interest groups have already raised over $22 million to fund various attempts to hijack Michigan's constitution.

    "Michigan's voters can't be bought," said Rich Studley, President and CEO of the Michigan Chamber of Commerce. "Families won't be fooled by false promises and clever campaign slogans. Now is the time for concerned citizens to "follow the money" to find out who is willing to pay millions to buy a piece of the state constitution."

    According to campaign finance reports, outside groups have already spent $14 million to purchase a half-dozen proposed constitutional amendments. In the same period of time the groups have raised $22 million and are expected to spend over $100 million to hijack the state's constitution.

    Big spenders hoping to line their own pockets by purchasing Michigan's Constitution include:

    • Big Labor and the Michigan Democratic Party: $8 million on a secretive attempt to rewrite the constitution, repeal hundreds of laws and undo the good work being done to position Michigan for its economic comeback.
    • SEIU: Nearly $2 million to force the unionization of home health care workers and allow the union to skim millions in dues each year.
    • California Hedge Fund Billionaire: $2.24 million to line the pockets of out-of-state windmill manufacturers and other government subsidy seekers.

    Same group of second handers, different day.

    Citizens Protecting Michigan's Constitution is a committee supported by a growing and diverse group of job providers, taxpayers, individuals, local chambers of commerce and other organizations.  CPMC is committed to educating Michigan families about unprecedented attempts to radically overhaul the state's constitution through new, misleading ballot initiatives.

    over at RM as well.

    His video has gone viral, and is exciting stuff.

    Sadly, the reason it is so exciting is that it stands alone.  He needs help.

    Jack Hoogendyk would be right there with him.
