If you're in Michigan, demonstrate in Lansing at Governor's State of
State speech Feb. 3
Demand that the Governor use her powers to DECLARE A STATE OF
EMERGENCY
Demand a Two-Year Moratorium on Foreclosures, Evictions and Utility
Shutoffs in Michigan and a State of Emergency in Detroit.
The people of Michigan need emergency relief NOW to survive the
economic catastrophe that we are in. We demand that Gov. Granholm exercise her
authority under MCL 10.31 to declare a State of Economic Emergency in Michigan
and place an immediate Moratorium on all Foreclosures, Evictions and Utility
Shutoffs. In addition, we demand that the State Legislature pass S.B. 29 which
calls for a two-year moratorium on foreclosures.
Furthermore, emergency relief is needed in the City of Detroit,
the hardest hit major city with 45% unemployed, families losing their lives due
to DTE Energy shutoffs, neighborhoods destroyed by foreclosures and evictions,
Detroit schools continuing to fail, and City services diminished due to
lay-offs.
We must demand that the Governor apply to President Obama for
money to bail out Michigan cities and towns, especially those with the highest
unemployment. This should also happen in every state. We need funds for jobs
for youth to rebuild the houses that have been stripped and destroyed, and
money to stop the destruction of public education and services in our cities.
The money for the bankers, corporations and military must go to Bailout the
People!
We demand that Governor Granholm:
® Declare a State of Economic
Emergency in the State of Michigan!
® Order a Moratorium NOW to Stop
all Foreclosures, Evictions and Utility Shutoffs in Michigan
® Request President Obama declare
Michigan a Disaster Area and Fund a Public Works Program to Provide Jobs
Now
We are taking to the streets with our demands. Join our
demonstration at the State of the State address Wednesday, February 3, 2010,
5:30 PM in Lansing.
