Are you angry enough to DO MORE to hold Rick Snyder accountable for the harm he has caused the people of Michigan, starting with the residents of Flint and including hundreds of thousands millions of us across the state? Then please SIGN, SUPPORT, and CIRCULATE the recall petitions that are now being distributed across the state of Michigan.
The clock is already ticking. Until 2013, Michigan voters had 90 days during which they could sign a referendum or a recall petition. Now, it’s a mere 60 days: and the first signatures were collected on March 27th. [There is a little bit of flexibility, so that if (for example) the momentum of signature-gathering increases over time, it might be possible for the start and end dates to be adjusted to compensate. But the 60-day span will still apply.]
This is the specific language of the petition:
Governor Richard D. Snyder declared a state of emergency in the County of Genesee and the City of Flint pursuant to the constitution of the state of Michigan and provisions of Act No. 390 of the Public Acts of 1976, filed with the Secretary of State on January 5, 2016, and ending on February 1, 2016, unless extended as provided by Act No. 390.
There have been other grounds/petition statements approved by the Board of State Canvassers. But at the moment, this is the only one in full swing as far as I know.
Collecting nearly a million signatures from registered Michigan voters — enough, that is, for a healthy cushion to guard against falling short — in 60 days is no easy task. Petitions must be signed in person; there are no electronic methods of collecting signatures. However, social media and online networking are of course major resources for getting the job done. Whether we can succeed will depend on ALL OF OUR HELP.
