The Michigan state legislature has officially voted to repeal the emergency powers declaration pro-abortion Governor Gretchen Whitmer used to force COVID lockdowns on the state that closed churches but left abortion clinics open to kill babies.
The Michigan House of Representatives voted today 60-48 to repeal the Emergency Powers Act used by the governor and that chamber’s vote comes after the Michigan Senate voted 20-15 to repeal on July 15. The legislature’s vote for repeal also two days after the state Board of Canvassers certified that Unlock Michigan could put a repeal measure on the state ballot. Now the measure is no longer needed.
Here’s more : “Hundreds of thousands of our families, friends and neighbors changed Michigan forever when they decided they had enough and stood up to make a difference,” said Speaker Jason Wentworth, R-Farwell, in a statement. “They deserve a state government that is willing to do the same. They’ve earned that much. That’s why we had their back today and put this petition into law.” Organizers of the petition drive , a group called Unlock Michigan, heralded Wednesday’s vote and promised additional campaigns. “Our Unlock Michigan citizen army collected over 540,000 signatures in just 80 days. Now, 292 days later, we’ll complete our mission with a final vote in the Legislature to end Gov. Whitmer’s rule by decree,” said Fred Wszolek, a spokesman for the Unlock Michigan petition drive. “Next we’ll turn our attention to the public health law Whitmer abused to destroy lives, businesses and futures. Don’t bet against our success there either.” Last year, Catholic leaders slammed Gov. Gretchen Whitmer for declaring elective abortions “life sustaining” while restricting people from buying seeds to grow their own food.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
