Michigan

Some of the unions were supportive, others not so much, and the Dem Party wanted no part of it. If we'd had the support like they do in Wisconsin, we'd have been successful. It was very late in the game before the MEA came onboard, and financially, it was only individual donors with small donations that funded the effort. The leadership and volunteers learned a lot, and next time around should be better organized. Success will depend on the number of active volunteers (we had many last time who were volunteers in name only), and getting the unions to back us up, MEA included. I don't know if we'll ever get the Dem Party's support, and don't understand why they did not back us up the last time.

Here is the website for the new group. Sign up, share, and support!
