MI Secretary of State Warns of Anti-Democracy Agenda: ‘We’re Not Rising With The Same Intensity’

[JC-lssp]

Get rid of the filibuster and pass voting rights It's the only way to save our democracy!

[susansellars]

You say the will of the people, but those people are being lied to, so how can they know what their will is? It should be illegal to make false statements when your running for any office!

[SpeedyBruin]

Until we pass serious campaign finance reform to get wealthy donor, corporate, and dark money (all forms of corruption) out of our politics, we will be a democracy in name only.

This country is run by a handful of donors, not the people.

[GraphicdesignforFree]

Without accountability for lying to the people, this will not stop. Simple.

[jeanvanderhulst]

America is waiting for the consequences of January 6th. Actions taken from the top down need to be addressed and penalties both criminal and political must be imposed. No one involved in this vulgarity should be spared.

[bobearl]

There is one very easy fix to all this that don't involve voter rights at all. Do away with the electoral college make it the popular vote that counts

[qwadratix]

I beats me how 'business as usual' the US Congress is behaving. This is an existential threat, yet no-one seems inclined to deal with it.

[ronmortimer]

The U.S. Declaration of Independence uses the phrase 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness' as a guiding principle of government. Perhaps it should have been 'life, liberty and the pursuit of truth'. Might be more appropriate and effective for these lying times.

[rogerbollinger]

She is the reason we are in the mess we are in.

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is strong, brilliant and a patriotic American!! 👍❤️ 👍❤️

[greyangelpilot]

The depravity of those who seek to overthrow our Democratic Republic is criminal on many levels. I'm sure we can all relate to common frustrations American's feel about healthcare, economic (income inequality) & infrastructure (traffic, roads, bridges, Broadband, etc.) Frustrations exacerbated by the pandemic.

However, if those who "Stormed the Castle" (Capitol) knew that its monopolistic, greedy capitalistic institutionalized banking, finance, insurance companies who create the stresses & hardship, not those who serve in Statehouses, they'd be better served in focusing their energies/agendas towards change via other means.

[someguy]

Don’t worry. I’ve got my eye on the ball and it’s not coming off. I don’t need convincing. I will NEVER forgive or forget.

[wideawake]

Our only hope is for all the peeps and enablersvto be jailed and soon.

[occamselectricrazor]

the rights of a non-verifiable mail-in ballot must not be infringed

[morenofranco]

Media should stop talking about "anti-democracy, and rather talking about ANTI-FREEDOM. to explain what Retrumplicans are about.

[marceasusanna]

I believe it is already too late. We lost control long before

[tgmickey]

If we stop using the district system and use the actual one person one vote concept, the GOP would loose some of the ability to manipulate to vote. Anything else is going to allow all this to continue.

[emmaharcourt]

Make the Senate representative of the people not the States according to the population of each State. Ban corporate donors to political parties.

[davidclifford]

Do away with the loophole that allows the 'Secure MI Vote' Petition to be circulated. 8% of the voters should not be able to override the majority.

[genxrflatearther]

We can add a ballot initiative to our state constitution. Just put on open primaries with a rank choice voting.
That way we don't have a 2 party system. We need to get rid of these career politicians who are CROOKED AND CORPORATE AMERICA.
