Over 200,000 Michiganders Sign Petition to Oust Governor Whitmer

2020-04-15

[BREITBART] Michigan citizens have been flooding a petition at Change.org calling for the removal of Governor Gretchen Whitmer, accusing her of gross negligence and failures in handling the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)

coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)

...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
pandemic.

The "Recall Governor Whitmer" petition alleges the governor’s measures, such as "closing and banning various non essential business’s [sic] and activities while leaving others open," are actually "causing more Michiganders to get sick."

Launched three weeks ago by John Powell, the petition has picked up steam in past days following the governor’s extension of a stay-at-home order and raising penalties for non-compliance to a $1,000 fine and/or six months in jail.

In just the 24-hour period between Monday and Tuesday, the petition garnered more than 50,000 new signatures as citizens rush to express their displeasure with the governor, bringing the total number of signatories past the 200,000 mark.

Along with an extension on the statewide lockdown, Whitmer issued new restrictions on stores limiting the number of people in the store at one time to no more than four customers for every 1,000 square feet of customer floor space. Stores must also cordon off areas dedicated to carpeting, flooring, furniture, garden centers, plant nurseries, or paint.

Commenters wondered aloud what possible health concern could motivate the governor to keep people from planting seeds or repainting parts of their homes.

#7 /\ Agree Clem. We'll probably see Amelia Earhart appear on 'The Five' before any of those people are brought to justice.

#6 Better chance of recalling this bozo than indicting any of the Clinton/Brennan/Comey/et al. gang.

#5 Ref #4: We ought to be about quarantining people with the disease from the population...

But, but, but what about fairness, burden sharing, equality of outcomes, disenfranchisement, social stigma ?

#4 We ought to be about quarantining people with the disease from the population; not the quarantining the entire population from each other and shutting down the economy.
