Detroit, MI, March 27, 2010:
The Southeast Michigan 9.12 Project, a Tea Party, is pleased to announce it is participating in the statewide petition drive regarding the Michigan Citizens Healthcare Freedom Amendment. The ballot initiative, to be officially launched this Monday will place a Constitutional Amendment on the November 2010 ballot.
Our first opportunity to pick up petitions will be Monday evening at 7:00 p.m. at an informational meeting to be held at Jimi’s Restaurant, 714 S. Washington, Royal Oak, MI. At this point it will be possible for citizens to begin signing petitions!
The response has been amazing. Thousands of people have contacted the organizers of the Michigan Citizen’s Healthcare Freedom Amendment. It is exciting to be working with people across the state to fight back against the healthcare takeover."
Petition Summary:
Declares the right of person to provide for their own health care without being directly or indirectly compelled by government action to participate in any health care system.
Prohibits the government from imposing prohibitions on the purchase or sale of health insurance or health coverage in private health care systems.
Prohibits government from imposing penalties or fines against persons, employers, and healthcare systems for participating in direct pay activities for lawful healthcare services.
Prohibits government from creating any disadvantage against a healthcare system for permitting a person or employer to pay directly for lawful health care services or for permitting a health care provider to accept direct payment from a person or employer for lawful health care services.
The Southeast Michigan 9.12 Project, a Tea Party, is a non-partisan, non-profit organization of concerned citizens. Our belief is that we must engage fellow citizens, then encourage them to begin a productive dialogue amongst all Americans, and then to bring education and enlightenment. In so doing our nation’s very real challenges can be viewed in an atmosphere that will truly give us hope, and that will lead to honest change.
