Paul LaFrance, a business owner who lives in the Detroit metro area, has never protested. But that's going to change this week.
He's joining a group of Michigan residents planning to protest their governor's stay-at-home order at the Michigan Capitol in Lansing on Wednesday.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat who was elected in 2018, issued a new stay-at-home order on Thursday to combat the coronavirus pandemic. The order, one of the nation's most stringent, included closing parts of big-box stores that sell gardening and home-improvement goods, limiting the use of motorboats, closing public golf courses, and curbing interstate travel.
The order has affected small businesses too. Workers in the lawncare and construction industries have said it hampers their ability to make ends meet. Nationwide, in the past three weeks, shutdowns related to the outbreak have put an estimated 17 million Americans out of work.

The ultimate Karen.
I’ve been spamming the Biden campaign daily with glowing words about our nanny....er...governess...er, Governor.
Hope the effort pays off.
My friend from Michigan, says they are planning massive shut downs of many roads in Lansing.
Blockade the Governator in her house.
#HeilHalfWit needs to be hauled into court. Is anyone challenging the constitutionality of her edicts?
Read the decision. Overbroad and underinclusive sure seem to apply here, too...
I will never understand why people are so dumb as to vote for democrats and then complain when democrats, who are all just totalitarians at heart, do what totalitarians do.
This is simply cognitive dissonance at its finest. People just can not believe how wrong they are to vote for these horrible people in the first place and so, they just keep on doing it.

Seems a lot of people are rueing thier 2018 election choices ,Choices made out of emotion instead of weighing out the pros and cons. Anyone but Trump has become thier cross to bear..I hate it when dumb people have to lie in the beds they made themselves./s Ill bet Virginia also wishes it was 2018 again. whats that german phrase again? Schadenfreude
When this all began I predicted the American people would only tolerate this for a short time. I gave it 4 to 6 week.
If the various government think they are going to keep us locked up for a long period of time they have another think coming.
I personally believe that government mandated lock down to be unconstitutional, but because this is a special case, I agree with a voluntary lock down.
But the various government officials are drunk with power and have overstepped any authority they may think they have.
They took a crisis and have attempted to shape the world into their own little utopian vision trampling on our rights.
This should be lesson to all of us what will happen when the Democrats gain complete control.
I don’t know, they might. 🤗
Your Governor is a NAZI!!
BUT, stupid, evil Democrats will still be RE-ELECTED!! DUMB!
Not limited but rather banned completely........
Since the landscaping companies aren't working, condo communities such as mine that rely on them are soon going to look like crap and the grass is going to be filled with dandelion weeds....
It’s going to take several citizens’ uprisings to bring an end to the heavy handed dictators, especially governors. What they’re doing is unconstitutional.
I hate it when WE have to lie in the beds they made themselves.
Most of us are going along with the lockdown for one reason only:
Trump asked us to.
TDS keeps people like Whither from realizing this.
BINGO!!
US Code Title 18

If the landscaping contractors had just avoided all those lawnmower raves, this wouldn't have been necessary. But no. Guys with little John Deere tractors gotta do what guys with tractors do.
