To whom it may concern,
This is a free and open petition in
accordance with Act 116 of
1954, to remove Gretchen Whitmer from the office of Governor
of the State of Michigan. The cause for her removal is dereliction
of duty and endangering the public welfare.
In a recent statement, Whitmer
threatened physicians and pharmacists who might think to use the
widely known malaria drug, hydroxychloroquine, as treatment for
Covid-19. The Governor was quoted in saying that individuals
prescribing those treatments may be investigated for administrative
action. Not only does this type of rhetoric threaten the public
health and welfare, it utilizes the platform afforded to Michigan's
Governor to intimidate health practitioners and other medical
professionals. By ignoring potential treatments and other
preventative measures, Governor Whitmer is denying medical care to
those who require it and lengthening the timetable before treatment
will be available.
(UPDATE 4/11/2020)
Governor Whitmer has only furthered her authoritarian overreach by banning the sale of seeds and deeming their purchase non-essential. Governor Whitmer is denying basic rights without cause. Alcohol and marijuana have been deemed essential, but citizens cannot plant flowers or gardens? It's nonsensical and tyrannical.
Therefore, the Governor's behavior, in
conjunction with her forced economic shutdown and a history of
bypassing congressional approval to execute partisan and, perhaps,
constitutionally invalid legislation, We the People find Gretchen
Whitmer, unfit for her position and are asking for your support in
instituting her removal from the office of Governor.
No governor, democrat or republican, should have total state of emergency power for an unlimited period of time. The elected legislature must give approval for an extension past the 28 days allowed in MI constitution.
