"I'm asking everyone who can to take Wednesday off and head to the State

Capitol in Lansing to protest the cruel and downright frightening legislation

currently being jammed down our throats ... Governor Snyder, once elected,

yanked off his nice-guy mask to reveal that he is in fact a multi-millionaire

hell-bent on destroying our state and turning it over to his buddies from

Wall Street ... Trust me, you will rue the day you sat home and did

nothing while thieves posing as politicians stole your

Great Lakes State from you." – Michael Moore

DO SOMETHING:

Bring a Little Bit of Egypt and a Little Bit of Madison to Your State:

Nothing happening in your state? That's because you haven't

tweeted yet. Be the first to begin organizing your local revolt!
