Fellow Michiganders (and honorary Michiganders around the world):

The call has gone out and I'm asking everyone who can to take Wednesday off and head to the State Capitol in Lansing to protest the cruel and downright frightening legislation currently being jammed down our throats.

What is most shocking to many is that the new governor, who ran against the Tea Party and defeated the right wing of his party in the primaries -- and then ran in the general election as "just a nerd from Ann Arbor" who was a moderate, not an ideologue -- has pulled off one of the biggest Jekyll and Hyde ruses I've ever seen in electoral politics.

Governor Snyder, once elected, yanked off his nice-guy mask to reveal that he is in fact a multi-millionaire hell-bent on destroying our state and turning it over to his buddies from Wall Street.

In just 8 short weeks he has:

* Gotten the House and Senate to pass bills giving him "Emergency Management" powers such as the ability to appoint a corporation or a CEO who could literally dissolve town governments or school boards, fire the elected officials, nullify any local law and run your local governmental entity. That company then would have the power to immediately declare all collective bargaining contracts null and void.

* Proposed giving business a whopping 86% tax cut while raising personal taxes by 31%! And much of that tax hike he believes should be shouldered by -- I kid you not -- senior citizens and the poor! He says these two groups have not been "sharing the sacrifice" the rest of us have been burdened with. So his budget proposes a $1.8 billion tax CUT for business and a $1.75 billion tax INCREASE for the rest of us, much of it from the poor, seniors and working people -- even though the top 1% in Michigan ALREADY pay a lower state tax rate than everyone else does!

* Together with the legislature, introduced over 40 anti-labor bills in just the first two months of this session! They have wasted no time and have caught most people off guard. Much of this is being rushed through right now before you have a chance to raise your voice in objection.

These actions are breathtaking when you realize they will drive our already battered state straight into the ground. What we needed right now was an inspiring leader to help us reinvent Michigan and to find creative ways to create new jobs and lift us out of our economic depression. The rest of the country may call what they're experiencing the "Great Recession," but few argue that Michigan is suffering a "one-state Depression."

I know many of you are filled with a great sense of despair and a justifiable loss of hope these days in Michigan. But you must not let things get even worse. You must stand up against these Draconian measures and this outrageous attempt to rip our democratic rights from us by turning our state over to well-paid hacks from Wall Street and corporate America. They see our state as one big fire sale -- and they are licking their chops to get their hands on what is still a state rich in natural resources and industrial infrastructure.

Please show up at noon on Wednesday for our first mega-rally against this insanity. Hundreds of groups are already organizing car pools and buses. You can right now just declare yourself an organizer and get your friends and neighbors committed to being in Lansing. If ever there were a day to call in sick, Wednesday is it (because this IS sick). Students, if ever there were a day to cut class and become a participant in your democracy, Wednesday is it. This event needs to be HUGE -- and I believe it will be if you will simply be there and take a stand.

Much attention has been paid to Wisconsin in recent weeks. Well, they got nothing on what's going on here in Michigan. Rick Snyder is Scott Walker on steroids. There's never been what even the AARP calls "an all-out attack" like this on us. Trust me, you will rue the day you sat home and did nothing while thieves posing as politicians stole your Great Lakes State from you.

Don't let it happen. Be at the Capitol by noon on Wednesday for the largest demonstration the state has ever seen.

Go Spartans! Go Wolverines! Go Everyone Else In Between!
Yours,
Michael Moore

As many of you already know conservative Tea Party patriots have moles all over the liberal communist community. Thanks to these moles we are always informed as to what they are doing. Here is a planned protest. Please take the time to let everyone know what they are planning on doing here in Michigan. These Douchbaggers want to take money from the tax payers so they can fill their pockets.

I'm sure there will be many tinfoil hat idiots everywhere. These Douchbaggers are trying to intimidate us by bringing Cairo to Michigan. We will bring some Tokyo to their anti-government protest. These Douchbaggers want our money. Their greed has caused them to attack private and public property as well as American citizens. If you go as an counter protester be careful. We have seen these protesters get violent in the other States they are in.

Teachers Union Leader Calls WI a Revolution; Wants to Learn From Socialists; Says Being Republican a Pathology, Evil

More proof that these unions are pushing for socialism. The union members need to wake up and realize that the Wisconsin bill gives the members more rights not less. The members have the right to not pay union dues if they so choose. This shouldn't be a problem since the unions tell us how great they are. And since when is it the governments job to collect union dues for the union? Why should my tax dollars go to the collection and distribution of union dues? If the unions want their money they should collect it. And if the unions are so great, they should have no problem collection 100% of their dues. The unions have a monopoly over the tax payers. They have too much power over our government and the union members. This is a free country. Forced dues and government collections isn't American. The union members better wake up and realize what this union melt down is all about. It's about control. The unions want to control it's members and the government. It's time to tell these unions to spend some of their $billions on membership rather then using it to control a political Party. Gov. Walker is doing what is best for union members. It's about time unions worked for the money they get from their membership. It's about time the members have control of the unions, instead of the unions taking control over the union members.

Wisconsin Protesters Are Using Children To Chant, Creepy

As Wisconsin and others States are having their union melt down we are seeing that these same unions have no problem using school children as free protest labor. The sad thing is those children will have to pay for what those unions get. I would put anything past these greedy unions. If these unions get their way they will own us tax payers. We will be working for them and their greedy pensions.
