Decline to sign ANY petition that mentions citizen voting!

This petition is part of a national campaign led by politicians and special interest groups trying to force every voter to go in person to re-register, no matter how difficult that will be for them or how long they've been a dedicated voter

The Illinois billionaire behind ULine spent $3.5 million to interfere with Michigan election rules! To be clear, audits have proven Michigan has a safe and secure election process, so DON'T SIGN THIS PETITION from Americans for Citizen Voting.

Decline to sign ANY petition that mentions citizen voting!

These two petitions are part of a state and national campaign led by politicians and special interest groups trying to make it harder for eligible citizens to vote.

These petitions are going to make voting harder for EVERY Michigan citizen, but married women will be especially impacted and inconvenienced.

Politicians are getting money from undisclosed sources... and it's LEGAL! Let's keep dark money out of our politics. Go to MOPUpMichigan.org to help.

Because of our broken political system, big businesses are convincing lawmakers to block policies Michigan voters want... because it'd be BAD for their campaigns?? Go to vnp.vote/volunteer-circulate to fight back.

Keep your eyes peeled at the grocery store for folks asking you to sign anything from American Citizens for Voting or Committee to Protect Voters' Rights. They are trying to make it harder for all Michigan voters to register. If you see someone at the store, talk to the manager... seriously!

7 years ago today, Voters Not Politicians volunteers turned in more than 425,000 petition signatures to end partisan gerrymandering in Michigan.

Because sometimes it's up to voters, not politicians, to get things done.
