"There could be a statewide petition drive to repeal the measure, which Michigan Planned Parenthood lobbyist Meghan Groen discussed for the first time this week. She believes a majority of voters oppose this. And as for the repeal petition drive move, 'It's something that we very much believe we could do and could win.'"
Tim Skubick: The abortion insurance issue isn't going anywhere soon, despite legislative passage www.mlive.com "Women are watching. Women will hold their legislators accountable for their actions in Lansing," says a Planned Parenthood spokesperson. Unlike · · Share · Stop Notifications · December 12 at 11:22pm
You, Patricia Dowling, Marty Townsend, Brittany Myers and 19 others like this. Marty Townsend They are clueless if they think that MPP would have to spend millions to PAY for the signatures. I would venture a guess that the majority of the people in this group would work to support this petition drive. I know I would.

I don't see that they would have an interest in this battle, but I am wondering what networks throughout the state would have local offices where they would have the petitions, especially in this weather? And can we get the MDP on this? Enlist every single chapter that will support it, which I think would be almost all. Any other groups that have a statewide presence and offices? Thoughts?

Design petitions for maximum effectiveness (this is not simple, as we learned in the recall 4. Raise money for the first print run and for mailing/delivery of petitions to distribution points. 5. Organize county coordination, establish a command center, and set up a schedule of bench mark dates, pulling in petitions every two weeks to maintain accurate numbers. 6. Set up a secure processing center with the right software (NOT the VAN) and train trusted volunteers to number, scan, and verify names on petitions, against voter database ($24 from the SOS for all 7 M names). We created this software for Recall 2.0--it needs some modification for this type of petition, if we can recruit someone with Sequel programming skills. 7. Original petitions boxed and stored in a secure vault, ready to deliver to the SOS. December 14 at 5:59pm · Like · 6 Susan Dailey Thank you Jan...what a well organized and useful list. December 14 at 6:01pm · Like · 2 Jan BenDor One reason we incorporated Michigan Rising and are working to build it as a 501C3, is so we can provide technical support to progressive petition drives. Until now, almost every drive reinvented the wheel, and the lessons were learned too late. Marty and I have notes and drafts for a training manual. We would also license the software and configure the equipment. December 14 at 6:11pm · Like · 5 Robert Gordon I believe it up to Planned Parenthood to captain this ship.

December 14 at 8:27pm · Edited · Like · 5 Susan Dailey So Jan & Marty...it looks like Michigan NOW is still in the question about going forward with a petition drive against the rape insurance law. I am wondering if you would consider contacting them and consider offering your expertise. Additionally, I think that it would be good to consider what other large well networked groups would join in...like the MDP, Planned Parenthood, any other Michigan women's groups and any groups that could provide indoor signing locations. Also might want to consider which national groups would be willing to help out with funds, other kinds of help, like NARAL, Center for Reproductive Rights, etc. Best/S 12 hours ago · Like · 2 Rochelle Noel I can't even imagine why there's a question. Not only would it benefit us by getting the issue on the ballot, but it would also draw larger numbers to the polls in November. Behold the power of community organizing! We can do this.
