Thousands of people from all over Michigan are converging on our state Capitol today to protest the governor’s restrictive “Stay Home” order and get their voices, and car horns, heard.
#OperationGridlock
They’re upset the governor is thinking in terms of what jobs are “essential” or “non-essential,” instead of considering whether a job can be done safely. If workers are able to use proper social distancing practices on the job, we believe they should be able to earn a living.
The governor’s one-size-fits-all approach also is causing frustration. Since different regions of the state are experiencing varying levels of exposure, why doesn't the governor take a more regional approach to her order?
Yesterday, Democrats voted to spend $800 million of taxpayer money to develop a Chinese company’s battery plant in Michigan.
Rep. Schuette asked a great question: what happens to that investment if China invades Taiwan next year?
The witness had no answer.
Thirteen days before the election, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announces she wants to hear from parents with school-age children.
Michigan parents would have loved to have a voice during the governor’s previous 1,394 days in office.

We must continue to fight this virus, but an undemocratic approach is wrong for Michigan.
Whitmer owns the population loss that took place under her watch.
Michigan is less competitive, more expensive and less attractive for companies.
All because of her policies and the policies coming out of the Democrat led legislature.
In a bipartisan 74-34 vote, the Michigan House has approved a plan to prevent COVID-19 patients from entering our state nursing homes.
The vote, with many Democrats in support, is a forceful rebuke of the governor's reckless nursing home policy.

The right to work repeal is about Democrats securing more money for their own campaigns, taking away workers' rights.
Every worker should have the right to choose whether or not they join a union.
That choice was taken away by Democrats.
Rep. Tom Kunse is right: we should tap the brakes on this project.
We don’t believe the Chinese Communist Party should have any influence in Michigan.
Unfortunately, Democrats disagree.
Get ready for blackouts, higher bills, lost jobs, and no more local control.
Gov. Whitmer and Lansing Democrats are copying California with their radical Green New Deal energy package.
😨 It’s not going to look pretty. 😨
BREAKING: Michigan’s highest court has given the people a huge win by ruling Gov. Whitmer’s actions have been unconstitutional.
It’s also a decisive victory for democracy.
So let’s get to work for the people of Michigan. Together!

Democrats have made Michigan less competitive and have taken away crucial worker rights.
Thanks to the policies they’ve enacted this year, it will be tougher for Michigan to attract the high paying jobs Michiganders deserve.
It’s wrong.
Michigan has 6 of the most dangerous cities in the United States, thanks to radical pro-criminal legislation.
We’ve been fighting to keep communities safe but have been turned down time and again
Gov. Whitmer and House Democrats simply don’t want to fix the problem.
Democrats are actively disenfranchising voters in Michigan.
Their latest attempt will allow coastal elites in California and New York to pick who becomes president and we’re left in Michigan without a voice.
It’s wrong andwe’ll oppose these efforts.
The economy has stagnated under Gov. Whitmer.
Only a select few people benefit from Whitmernomics while the rest of Michigan struggles.
It’s no wonder our population growth has stalled.
In a rushed 1 a.m. vote Thursday night, House Democrats passed bills allowing utility companies to double electric bills and avoid responsibility for power outages.
Rep. Andrew Beeler pointed out the human rights violations that'll happen with this so called “clean energy.”
Tone deaf.
Words can’t describe the horrors families throughout Michigan had to go through knowing their loved ones were put in harm's way.
The Governor was warned not to put people in harm's way, yet she still did it.
Families deserve answers.
The Whitmer administration is using our tax dollars to pay rent for illegal aliens, and now her staff refuses to answer questions about it.
It’s unfair to the legal immigrants, refugees who came here the right way, and taxpayers.
It's dangerous!
The MI House is voting today on a plan that will vastly increase utility company profits and double your electric bill.
It doesn't even require them to fix the crumbling energy grid before they raise your rates.
We are voting NO!
When Republicans are in charge, Michigan grows.
When Democrats are in charge, Michigan families suffer.
This is the reality now more than ever under One Party Democrat rule.
One party Democrat rule is hurting our state. Their ambitious, anti-family and anti-business agenda is driving people out of the state.
Their latest policies will increase taxes on families and increase electricity costs. All to serve at the please of coastal billionaire elites.
This is why Michiganders don’t trust Lansing.
Democrats aren’t out helping working families. They’re interested in helping union bosses influence elections.
We can't mess up Michigan's job market if we don't have one.
Democrats just don't get it.
Repealing Right to Work will drive businesses, industries, and workers out of Michigan.
Thank you, Rep. DeBoyer for standing up for safe and secure elections in Michigan!
Democrats are paving the way for future fraud. And we’re not going to stand for it.
It’s wrong.
Thanks to out of touch Democrat policies, Michiganders are searching for greener grass in other states.
We’re working to undo these bad policies and keep people here.
BOMBSHELL: Although Gov. Whitmer denied any knowledge of a contract to give tax dollars and personal info to a partisan Democrat firm, emails obtained by Bridge Magazine prove the gov’s office not only knew about the secretive contract, it okayed it.
Democrats are trying to take away a PERMANENT tax cut with phony and fringe legal opinions.
We won’t let them.
Every Michigan family and small business owner deserve permanent lasting relief.
Michigan is LOSING its population. And now in the latest Democrat budget, they’re taking out what has helped bring people to Michigan.
One party Democrat rule is making things worse in Michigan, not better.
.
Remember when Democrats said they’d fix the roads?
Their budget only fixes the roads in their districts. Everyone else gets left behind.
It isn’t fair, it’s wrong.
Democrats are giving unions power in exchange for their support and favor. They’re the top donors to their campaigns.
In exchange, workers lost their rights. It’s wrong.
Hard to argue with the data. Jobs are leaving the state.
And Michigan is less competitive thanks to one party Democrat rule.
We’re going to change this.
Democrats don’t want working families and small businesses to enjoy lower income taxes.
Low income taxes means more money in your pocket.
That’s why they’re fighting to keep it temporary.
Republicans want this to be permanent.
Get ready for House Republicans to have a larger voice, making MI a better place to live, work and raise a family.
With 54 Reps and 54 Dems, we're bringing more bipartisanship and stop the nonstop radical, leftist policies.
Democrats like to villainize Florida and Ohio.
People are moving there because of good policies bringing high paying, quality careers for working families.
We should be doing the same, but it's not a priority for Democrat one party rule.
It’s wrong.
Before getting the facts about a 2-month-old infant's death, Gov. Whitmer and her staff announced the baby’s tragic passing was due to COVID.
It wasn’t true, and caused the child's mother more anguish.
Facts matter, especially to grieving families.
Helping union bosses. Stripping away worker rights. Raising taxes next year on Michiganders. Letting criminals walk out early.
And now, giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.
One party Democrat rule is hurting Michigan.
Michigan Democrats took away worker rights and now rich union bosses have rewarded them with a bigger flow of campaign contributions.
They’re not for helping working families.
They’re for helping their campaign coffers.
It’s wrong.
Governor Whitmer and Democrats continue cozy up to special interests while leaving taxpayers behind.
Before a single dollar goes to this company they should answer: how did this happen and how are you going to prevent it from happening again?
Democrats just passed bills that'll raise rates, eliminate jobs, & make our energy grid unstable.
Now they're spreading misinformation.

'Made-Up Numbers': Whitmer Misstates Key Stat From Study While Selling Her Green Energy Legislation
Return of the lost decade, courtesy of the Democrats.
Now that they’ve repealed Right to Work, businesses will look elsewhere to bring new opportunity and investments.
And Michiganders lose out. It’s wrong.
By repealing Right to Work, Michigan’s job slump will be worse as companies look elsewhere to create jobs.
Democrats are making Michigan less and less competitive. And workers are being stripped of their rights. It’s wrong.
The Democrat strategy in Michigan isn’t working. That’s why folks continue to flee our state for greener pastures.
Taking away worker rights.
Raising taxes on working families.
Hiking fees on small businesses.
It's no wonder Michiganders are leaving.
Democrats spent a record 9B dollar surplus.
Not all roads will be fixed as they promised.
No additional funding for police to help recruit and retain officers.
Increased fees on small businesses.
Tuition hikes for working families.
We voted NO.
Republicans want Michiganders to get a permanent tax cut.
Democrats don’t want this.
This means Democrats will raise taxes next year on working families and small businesses. It’s not right.
Michiganders are leaving our state thanks to Democrat leadership.
Working families want their children to grow and work here but Democrats are making it harder.
We’re going to change that.
Democrats are giving in to special interests, while taking your freedoms away.
Republicans believe you should be able to pick whether or not you join a union. It’s that simple.
You should be able to choose whether or not you want to join a union and take a pay cut.
Democrats want to force you to join because it benefits their donors. And you get stuck with a pay cut.
It isn’t fair. And we voted NO.
Governor Whitmer appointed an echo chamber to address the population loss taking place under her watch.
It’s nothing but a trojan horse for new taxes that will be passed on to…
You guessed it: Michigan families.
Republicans deliver!
While Democrats tried to stop tax cuts from reaching working families and small businesses, we were able to get them across the finish line.
Dems want it to be temporary, we’ll fight to keep them permanent because YOU deserve it.
After trying to partner with Gov. Whitmer to fight COVID-19, the
#MiLeg
was forced to file suit to challenge her unconstitutional actions.
Nobody wants to see a court fight, but the law is clear. Only the Legislature can extend a state of emergency.
Since Gov. Whitmer became governor, Michigan is bleeding residents at a rapid rate to states like Florida, Texas & Arizona.
What do these states have in common?
They let people keep what they earn all while Michigan's income taxes will go up.
A state program to help refugees may be using its funding to subsidize illegal immigrants living in Michigan.
The department promised us an answer on this by yesterday and never delivered.
We'll keep fighting to get the answers you deserve.
House Democrats tonight prohibited Republicans from speaking on the floor to oppose the Dem’s massive spending plan. We represent close to 5 million Michiganders, almost half of the state’s population. All of their voices were silenced tonight.
#MiLeg
Gov. Whitmer wants private citizens to “forcefully” get other people to comply with her mask mandate.
Words mean things, and the governor’s incendiary comment is reckless.
People should never forcefully confront store patrons, their neighbors or anyone else about anything.
MI Democrats rushed through a far-left energy plan, and we're all going to pay the price.

Democrats are trying to take away worker rights to help grease the wheels for their special interests allies that fund their campaigns.
It will force workers to take pay cuts and will make our state less competitive.
MI Democrats lied to the public. They claimed to work on the other aisle & with Republicans.
They didn’t.
They rejected additional funding to fix the roads & to help our police fight crime.
They’re hiking tuition on students & families.
We voted NO!
Working families know Michigan isn’t moving in the right direction under one party Democrat rule.
They’re taking away worker rights.
And making things more expensive for families.
It’s just wrong.
MI Democrats are on a tear. They took away worker rights earlier this year.
Now they’re diverting education funding to exclusively benefit union bosses to the detriment of students and parents.
One party Democrat rule continues to hurt Michiganders.
Democrats are making it harder for Michigan to attract good high paying jobs by taking away worker rights.
They're making it harder for MI to attract good high paying jobs by taking away worker rights.

Michigan Democrats are forcing people to leave the state with the policies they’re enacting.
They’re taking away worker rights.
They’re making sure paychecks are smaller.
It’s wrong. And it won’t attract the high paying careers of the future to MI.
The House has voted to replace our controversial state of emergency and executive orders with a plan that protects the safety measures put into place over the last 2 months.
The governor’s unchecked and undemocratic approach is wrong for Michigan.

Listen to Rep. Bill G. Schuette’s latest update after some of the most extreme bills passed through Lansing thanks to Democrats:
#MichiganHouseRepublicans
#Lansing
Michigan just hit a new low under one party Democrat rule.
Funding for the Pure Michigan campaign - which is meant to attract people to our state was cut by Democrats.
No wonder we rank 49/50 in population growth.
Despite our efforts to stop companies with ties to the Communist Party of China, Democrats approved the building of the infamous Gotion Battery Plant.
It’s wrong.
Michigan is losing its competitiveness thanks to Democrats.
Thanks to the worker rights repeal they passed last month, other states are coming in to recruit jobs away from Michigan.
Democrats have their priorities completely backwards:
Ignoring local roads.
Ignoring neighborhood safety.
Raising taxes on working families.
It’s wrong!
The Auditor General discovered the Whitmer Administration knowingly allowed unemployment fraud to happen during COVID when the people who really needed help couldn’t get it.
The response?
Gov. Whitmer is now trying to SLASH the budget for audits.
For years, some plans to build large-scale solar and wind farms in rural Michigan have been breaking down instead of breaking ground.
A new bill package would give the state - instead of local leaders - the ability to approve renewable energy projects.

Michiganders are leaving in high numbers thanks to bad democrat policies from Gov. Whitmer.
Now that one party Democrat rule is in charge, they’re set to leave the state at a faster pace.
They’re taking worker rights & freedoms away. That’s not how we lure more people into MI.
