Hello,
This past week, I had the opportunity to meet with Dan Farrough, the Director of Progress Michigan. This organization works to promote issues that are progressive though lack the big money and large support of bigger issues. They work to protect the environment, fight drug companies, and other great causes. Their website can be found at Progress Michigan.
The result of our meeting: Progress Michigan would like to help us and all interested groups in pushing this issue to legislators. They want to do an advanced website with e-mail capabilities to make it easy for people to deluge Lansing with e-mails pushing for the Senate Appropriations committee to pass HB 4854 and SB 555.
To launch this site, they also would like to do a press conference at the Capitol the first full week of April, between the 7th and the 10th. If possible, we could also augment this with smaller press conferences in Detroit and Grand Rapids.
If you would be interested in helping out with this, or you have a group that would like to participate, please send an e-mail to SPDmsu@gmail.com.
Thanks,
Tom Choske
President, Spartans For Progressive Divestment
