Protest in Benton Harbor, MI!!

[Casandia]

Gov. Snyder is taking his new "law" for a test drive. Benton Harbor has now been taken over by the EFM... Here is the facebook page from Recall Governor Rick Snyder:

On Wednesday, April 27th there will be a march/rally in Benton Harbor, Michigan in response to the usurping of the rights and democratic process of their city government and their citizens by empowering a non-elected Emergency Financial Manager to take over the day-to-day operations of Benton Harbor

Please - if you are near Benton Harbor, join the protest!!!

1. about 200 miles, one way, and I need to work wednesday. Don't think I can do it

2. There should be passive resistance

Stop paying municipal taxes. Refuse to cooperate with officials. Picket every Emergency Commissar's meeting.

This is taxation without representation.

4. Oh boy, I am trying....

to get the word out. But this is Michigan, home of Blackwater, Amway... The western side of the state is very conservative.

8. I don't care what your politics are

This is wrong.

If people support this because they're "conservative", please inform them that at some point along the political spectrum conservatism becomes fascism, and this is past that point.
