Many Michiganders believe that Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer has taken her lockdown measures too far. #OperationGridlock organizer Meshawn Maddock is no longer willing to sit back and wait for Whitmer’s next move. Ms. Maddock believes that Whitmer is employing iron-fisted tactics against the citizens of Michigan to attract attention from the media and from her political party, as she vies Democrat presidential candidate, Joe Biden’s VP spot. Maddock claims that Whitmer doesn’t care about who she’s hurting in the state, that her actions are likely nothing more than a political ploy to draw attention to herself.
Last week, after picking a fight with President Trump, Governor Whitmer announced that she was adding an additional three weeks to the already devastating shut down of Michigan businesses, as a way to manage the spread of the coronavirus. The Democrat governor also announced a massive list of items she deemed “non-essential.” Whitmer warned Michigan residents they are no longer allowed to purchase items like arts and crafts, baby car seats, American flags, garden seeds, or home improvement items from local stores.
According to the radical governor, citizens of Michigan are not allowed to golf on public or private courses, they’re not allowed to visit relatives or neighbors or even to travel to their own private vacation homes in the state. If you live in another state and own a vacation home in northern Michigan, however, you are free to travel to and from your vacation home—only Michigan residents will be given fines and threatened with jail time if they dare to travel to their private vacation properties.
Landscapers, and plant wholesalers who operate strictly outdoors, are no longer able to conduct business in one of their busiest times of the year. Construction has come to a screeching halt in Michigan, and real estate agents are forced to sit on their hands, while homeowners are unable to show their homes to prospective buyers.
If you’d like an abortion, a fifth of whiskey or a bag of weed in Michigan, however, you’re in luck. Thanks to Governor Whitmer, not all services and products are off-limits to Michigan residents, only the ones she deems “non-essential.”
Many Michigan business owners were already concerned about their ability to reopen after the first round of forced quarantine in Michigan was lifted. This new executive order by Michigan’s radical governor has really shaken the confidence of business owners about their ability to recover.
Whether it’s the business owners who are suffering or the individuals who have had enough of empty grocery store shelves, health care that’s unavailable, or being able to walk across the street to visit a neighbor if they choose, Meshawn Maddock’s Michigan Conservative Coalition group is getting an overwhelming response to their vehicle protest against Whitmer’s draconian actions in Michigan’s State Capitol on Wednesday, April 15th at “high noon.”
