We, the undersigned supporters of civil rights, voters’ rights and democracy, call on Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm to end her silence about Michigan "Civil Rights" Initiative's (MCRI) massive campaign of racially-targeted voter fraud, the goal of which is to ban all affirmative action and equal opportunity programs in Michigan.

The Governor's silence on this issue is deafening. It is urgent that the Governor use the power of her office publicly to defend the democratic process in Michigan. A small group of out-of-state millionaires must not be allowed to get away with a policy of wholesale voter fraud whose ultimate purpose is undermining civil rights and polarizing our state along racial lines.
