The fact that Michigan
unions spent millions on deceptive and lying ads trying to pass a proposal that
would enshrine union rights into our state constitution (power grab) and still
lost and lost BIG, says something about Michigan
voters…they know bullshit when they see it!
I think the ads countering union deception were instrumental
in educating the public. When unions used cops, teachers and firefighters to
support the proposal, the opponents also used cops, teachers and firefighters
to counter the lies…so the authority figure ploy failed…and failed
miserably…smart thinking.
The use of old people to support the proposal that would
force home health workers into unions they do not want to join or pay dues to,
also failed. Many of us were pissed that the unions used old people to tell
lies about being benefited by the proposal when all along the only
beneficiaries of the proposal was a greedy union.

Two other proposals that would have changed our state
constitution primarily by forcing clean energy use on the state and the other,
forcing the legislature to submit all tax increases to the voters for approval;
that is just not the way to get things done, also were defeated handily.
Overall I am proud of Michigan
voters because they have sent a clear message to special interests trying to
trick the electorate, that they will not be tricked…at least this time.
