Proposal 18-2

A proposed constitutional amendment to establish a commission of citizens with exclusive authority to adopt district boundaries for the Michigan Senate, Michigan House of Representatives and U.S. Congress, every 10 years

This proposed constitutional amendment would: • Create a commission of 13 registered voters randomly selected by the Secretary of State:

o 4 each who self-identify as affiliated with the 2 major political parties; and

o 5 who self-identify as unaffiliated with major political parties.

• Prohibit partisan officeholders and candidates, their employees, certain relatives, and lobbyists from serving as commissioners.

• Establish new redistricting criteria including geographically compact and contiguous districts of equal population, reflecting Michigan’s diverse population and communities of interest. Districts shall not provide disproportionate advantage to political parties or candidates.

• Require an appropriation of funds for commission operations and commissioner compensation.

Should this proposal be adopted?

[ ] YES [ ] NO

Dems would not be pushing it if it didn’t somehow work out in their favor.

Good enough reason to vote no.

David Commie Bonior was my 10th district Congressman for many years until 2002 when he decided to run for Governor. Two things happened that year, the 10th district was redrawn and Candice Miller ran for Governor 10th District State Representative and was elected.

Another Democrat attempt to steal Republican seats. This should be shot down.

Yeah...I see them using the false meme like those who ‘self-identify” as a different gender....just putting the lie out in the open as the 5 who “self-identify” as Independent/non-affiliated have been hard core dems for decades...

we elect representatives to do a job. part of that job is to draw district lines. when pubs are in power, the lines are drawn according to what the pubs ( people ) want. this is an end around to take away our rights to elect representatives to do a job we elect them to do...

written by a communist, for communists...

I mentioned this months ago. Guess who was butting in where he doesn’t belong and pushing for this? Ah-nold, you know, the Kindergarten Cop. I could never spell his surname so I’m just calling him Hitler from now on. I’d like to send a robot back in time to pour scalding hot grease in his daddy’s lap.

It will probably pass, shiite like this always passes. At this point I have to oppose ballot initiatives, direct democracy blows chunks, people are too stupid.

The likelihood that the rat will get elected Governor already effs over redistricting in MI even if it fails. I don’t know their procedure once the *itch vetoes the GOP plan.

Rick Synder’s dad also could have used some hot grease, POS traitor.

:: a commission of 13 registered voters randomly selected by the Secretary of State ::

Bwahahahahah! Do not be misguided fellow Michiganders. 18-2 is offered as “belladonna” for the masses.

Yeah, unfortunately, he will be the reason we get Whitmer.

But. There is plenty of good news about JOHN JAMES and I think we're going to do it!! Send Stabie packing, Michiganders.

I lived one black from the border of Candice Miller’s district. Commie Dave and useless Sandy Levin/

I once told Miller I considered her my congressman.

My sons flew with her husband once at a Young Eagles flight orientation at a local airport.

When they were done, I asked if the boys asked his name. They had not.

I told them that most people referred to him as Sir or General.

About 9:30 this morning, I was driving on M-59 and there were a large number of Schutte and James supporters in a parking lot along the highway with signs and flags waving at everyone driving by......

Having just driven by there on my way home, I was going to stop and chat but they had already left.

Anyway, I've never seen that kind of support before, people are fired up..........
