Governor Gretchen Whitmer has a position so extreme we must take action: she claims the power to unilaterally declare a State of Emergency and ?indefinitely? rule by decree, with ?no? limits on her authority to micromanage every aspect of life, society, and commerce, for as long as she likes.

Using an obscure World War II-era law, Whitmer has issued a blizzard of over 100 executive decrees,with no accountability to your elected representatives, no public input -- and no end in sight!

We believe Whitmer’s crushing lock-down of life and business across Michigan is a dangerous threat to our livelihoods and constitutional liberties. So we’re taking action to ?UNLOCK MICHIGAN? by repealing this antiquated “emergency” law, removing dictatorial power from this governor and every future governor, and restoring checks and balances to Michigan before it’s too late.

You’re the key? to unlocking Michigan. Sign our official petition and join the fight!

How does this petition work?
Michigan’s constitution allows citizens to initiate their own legislation. With enough valid signatures,the legislature can vote on this proposal, and when passed, it becomes law without the governor’s signature. We must collect over 425,000 signatures from registered voters and do so ?quickly?!

What law is repealed by this petition?
This initiated legislation would repeal the Emergency Powers of the Governor Act of 1945. Governor Whitmer has misused this law to assume sweeping, permanent powers the legislature never intended a governor to have, in violation of the Separation of Powers doctrine. The governor would still have certain powers under the 1976 Emergency Management Act, but that law requires approval from the legislature every 28 days to extend a “state of emergency.” No politician in America should ever have the unlimited power this governor is wielding.
