Dear Friend,,
By now you've heard about Detroit's financial situation and Governor Snyder's intention on appointing an Emergency Manager for the city. Emergency Managers have been given the power to cancel your right to elect your local leaders and answers to no one BUT the governor. We will not stand silent while our rights are stripped away.
Today, there will be a 2pm press conference at AFSCME Council 25 regarding the governor's planned takeover of Detroit. A Call and Plan of Action for the City of Detroit will be unveiled. We need you to be there!
AFSCME Council 25
600 W. Lafayette
Detroit, MI
2pm

In addition, our beloved Congressman, John Conyers Jr. has taken the bull by its horns and contacted the U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder. Congressman Conyers is the ranking Democrat and former chair of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee. He is adamant that Governor Snyder's Emergency Manager law and its enforcement is in gross violation of the United States Constitution.

Yours bluely,
Ken R. Whittaker Membership and Communications Director
