Enough is Enough Michinganians- Ganders

Michigan Citizens’ Guide to Lawful, Peaceful Action Against Governor Gretchen Whitmer

Why now? An EPIC-MRA poll (Apr 28 – May 3 2025) of 600 likely voters shows Whitmer’s approval underwater at 41 % favorable / 54 % unfavorable. If you believe it’s time for new leadership, here is a plain-English, fully legal playbook—grounded in Michigan and U.S. law—for effecting change without violence or vandalism.

1 · Direct Action — No Courts Needed

What You Can Do Legal Authority How It Works (Plainly)
Start a Recall Petition Mich. Const. 1963 Art II § 8
MCL 168.951 – 975
Collect signatures equal to 25 % of the 2022 gubernatorial vote (~1.05 M).
File with the Board of State Canvassers; once petitions are approved, a statewide recall election is triggered.
Push for Legislative Impeachment Mich. Const. Art XI § 7 Call, write, and visit your House members.
Demand introduction of an impeachment resolution (e.g., 2020-HIR-324) and whip votes in the Michigan House (simple majority) and Senate (two-thirds to convict).
FOIA Everything Michigan FOIA  MCL 15.231 et seq. Request e-mails, travel invoices, and pandemic contracts.
Publish what you find—sunshine fuels grassroots pressure.
Peaceful Mass Demonstrations / Ballot Proposals U.S. Const. 1st Amend.;
Mich. Const. Art I § 3 (assembly & petition)
Large, lawful rallies and statewide initiatives can force leaders to reverse policies or resign.

2 · Going to Court (Power in Numbers)

  • Injunctions & Mandamus — Stop or compel executive actions. Example: the Michigan Supreme Court’s 10-2-2020 ruling that voided Whitmer’s post-April 30 emergency orders.
  • Taxpayer Standing Suits — Sue over misuse of public funds (e.g., disputed charter flights).
  • Quo Warranto (MCR 3.306) — Ask the Court of Appeals to declare an officeholder has usurped power. Must be filed by (or with consent of) the Attorney General.
  • Class-Action Damage Claims — Businesses can jointly recover losses from shutdown orders already ruled unconstitutional.

3 · Documented Controversies Since 2020

  • Oct 2 2020 — Executive Orders Struck Down
    Michigan Supreme Court: post-April 30 COVID orders violated separation-of-powers.
  • Mar 2021 — Private-Jet Trip to Florida

    Bridge MI records
    show a nonprofit paid $27,251 for the flight; legality hotly debated.
  • May 2021 — Mask-Free Gathering at Landshark Bar, East Lansing
    Whitmer posed with 12 unmasked friends, breaching her own six-per-table rule; Reuters report.
  • 2019-2025 — Overseas Trade Missions
    Trips to Israel (2019) and Australia (2025); critics cite opaque funding. HB 4310 would mandate cost disclosure.
    Michigan Campaign Finance Network.

Rumors of a “mask-free salon visit” or a taxpayer-funded vacation to Sydney remain unsubstantiated.
If you locate evidence, file a FOIA request and publish the documents.
