Sign on to a letter telling Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder treating all families equally is good for our state. {URL http://talkbacktorick.com}
LANSING – In response to Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder's recent signing of House Bill 4770, Equality Michigan Pride PAC has launched an ad campaign encouraging voters to "talk back to Rick." Snyder signed HB 4770 in December and targeted gay and lesbian families by stripping away health care coverage for domestic partners of public employees.
The campaign, at http://www.talkbacktorick.com, asks Michigan families to sign an open letter to the Governor and donate to help buy airtime for the radio ad campaign.
"Michigan voters elected Rick Snyder because he had a plan to fix our state's economy. He was going to help keep the best and the brightest here and position Michigan as an economic leader," said Amy Hunter, President of the Equality Michigan Pride PAC. "Unfortunately, somewhere along the way, the Governor has made compromises we find disappointing. After nearly a year-long policy debate, Snyder has put hardworking couples and their children into harm's way by eliminating important health care coverage. Michigan's gay residents are fed up, and this is one way that we're pushing back."
Fair-minded Michiganders can sign the letter to the Governor and help run the ads in more cities at http://www.talkbacktorick.com
