Flyers for Absentee Voters

Our campaign is getting underway swiftly and we are gathering strength from many groups. Absentee ballots will begin arriving September 22, 2012 and our target is to get the slate in front of as many voters as possible as they receive their ballot.

The VIP Slate addresses many of the Very Important Proposals coming up on the November 6, 2012 ballot. It doesn't address every proposal on the ballot - there are some that our assembled groups have differences in how they will support them. These are the VIP issues:

#	YES	NO	Proposal
Michigan's State-wide Proposals
12-1		NO	Public Act 4 - Emergency Manager (Dictator) Law - state imposed rule
12-2	YES		Protect Our Jobs - collective bargaining remains a right of the people
12-4	YES		Quality Home Care Council - collective bargaining for in home care workers
12-5		NO	Enactment of New Taxes by State Government
City of Detroit Proposals
C	YES		Charter violations can be prosecuted by Corporation Council
E		NO	Number of signatures required on filing petitions for officers
G		NO	Gifts & Gratuities valued by ordinance
P		NO	Permit personal services contract for former employees
S		NO	Increase school millage for general operating purposes
