Whitmer's new order has been blasted for its inconsistencies, as it allows the sale of lottery tickets, but not paint or gardening tools, and lets non-Michiganders travel to their Up North cottages, but not Michigan residents.
The Michigan Conservative Coalition and Michigan Freedom Fund asked for protesters to surround the Capitol in their vehicles at noon Wednesday to display flags and signs, make noise and be disruptive about Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's"erratic, unilateral orders that threaten Michiganders' economic existence," according to a news release. They warned protesters to come ready for a potentially major traffic jam.
The Michigan Conservative Coalition's sentiments are echoed by many people in the Facebook group"Michiganders Against Excessive Quarantine," which as of Monday, its fifth day in existence, had nearly 270,000 members. "This is going to be coming in waves for awhile, it isn't going away," Greulich See said."We could lock ourselves in the house and crash the economy for a year and it won't be any different."
