'No' to a Constitutional Convention keeps special interests from taking our freedoms, rights
When Michigan voters receive their ballots in November, the first question they’ll see is whether Michigan should hold a state Constitution Convention.
It may look like a straightforward chance to make changes to our Constitution, but don’t be fooled. Voters should vote “No” and reject this dangerous Trojan Horse.
A Constitutional Convention, also known as a “Con-Con,” will roll out the welcome mat for wealthy special interests and extremist organizations, who are all too eager to rewrite Michigan’s state Constitution. A Con-Con would open the door for powerful special interests to use their power, influence and deep pockets to pass harmful, costly policies affecting families, small businesses and communities across Michigan.
Extremist groups, wealthy donors and billionaires want to exploit the Con-Con and use it as a back door to rewrite the Michigan Constitution and promote their narrow agenda — not the will of everyday Michiganders. Constitutional protections and freedoms Michiganders currently enjoy under our state constitution would be at risk.
