Equality Michigan Pride PAC Launches Campaign Against Gov. Snyder

Equality Michigan Pride PAC has launched an ad campaign which encourages voters to “talk back to Rick.” That would be Rick Snyder, the Governor of Michigan who recently signed HB 4770. It stripped away healthcare coverage for domestic partners of public employees.

Amy Hunter, the President of Equality Michigan Pride PAC stated “Michigan voters elected Rick Snyder because he had a plan to fix our state’s economy. He was going to help keep the best and the brightest here and position Michigan as an economic leader. Unfortunately, somewhere along the way, the Governor has made compromises we find disappointing. After nearly a year-long policy debate, Snyder has put hardworking couples and their children into harm’s way by eliminating important health care coverage. Michigan’s gay residents are fed up, and this is one way that we’re pushing back.”

They have set up two sites. The first is www.talkbacktorick.com where an open letter can be signed opposing the stripping of rights from LGBT Michiganers as well as to help buy airtime for the radio ad which can be heard at www.talkbacktorick.com/ads-in-your-town .
