Coronavirus stay-at-home orders stir protests nationwide amid fears of economic collapse

(Video Above) Operation Gridlock officially started at noon on Wednesday and continues. The plan including circle the capitol with as many honking cars and trucks honking to protest the stay-at-home order.

At least 15,000 cars and trucks are expected to descend on Michigan’s state capital on Wednesday to protest what they’re calling Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s tyrannical new guidelines to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus in the state.

The so-called “drive-by” demonstration – in order to maintain social distancing — aims to bring traffic to a gridlock in Lansing and protest the “Stay Home, Stay Safe” executive order by Whitmer, a Democrat, mandating what businesses could stay home, what some businesses could sell and ordering people in her state against any gatherings – no matter the size or family ties.

“Quarantine is when you restrict movement of sick people. Tyranny is when you restrict the movement of healthy people,” Meshawn Maddock, an organizer of the protest with the Michigan Conservative Coalition, told Fox News. “Every person has learned a harsh lesson about social distancing. We don’t need a nanny state to tell people how to be careful.”

The protest – called “Operation Gridlock” – would be just one of a number of demonstrations of civil disobedience around the country by Americans upset with their state’s stay-at-home orders amid the pandemic. While the contagion has infected over 568,000 Americans and killed over 23,000, according to the latest estimates, protestors from North Carolina to Wyoming said they’ve been just as concerned with the economic and financial impact the coronavirus has inflicted on the country – echoing President Trump’s complaint that “the cure be worse than the problem.”

Alex Berenson, a former New York Times reporter who has been sounding the alarm about what he believes are flawed models dictating the aggressive strategy, drew attention to the protests in North Carolina, as well as a social media uproar in Michigan.

“As someone wrote me, people in [Michigan] know when you lose jobs, they don’t come back,” he tweeted.

About Operation Gridlock According to the Michigan Conservative Coalition website:

We are all concerned for those afflicted with COVID 19. Yes, many of the personal behaviors we have been reminded to use are good practices. Wash your hands. Cover your cough. Stay home if you are sick.  

That said, Michiganders are fed up!

Our Governor and her allies are infecting ALL of us with their radical, progressive agenda. There is NO reasoned and public plan to promote our overall physical and economic health!

Dope stores? Open. Abortion clinics? Open. Churches? Shut down. Local businesses? Going broke!

Many have asked us: “What should I do? I will go bankrupt if this continues.”

Here is the brutal truth. Calling your elected Representative, your elected Senator or even the Capitol won’t do a THING. Why? Those offices are all shut down. Plus the electeds have clearly “signaled” that they will do NOTHING to oppose this Governor’s tyranny.

To “redress our grievances” citizens are reduced to doing one thing: TAKE ACTION IN LANSING.  

People always say: “Conservatives never protest because they are too busy working.”  

Well, guess what. You’re not working– so it’s time to PROTEST.

Everyone, every citizen, every business owner needs to get out of their house, out of their chair and get in their car, or truck, or anything that is legal to drive on taxpayer funded roads. Then drive to Lansing to circle the Michigan Capitol Building at 100 N. Capitol Avenue at noon on April 15.   

Come prepared for a traffic jam in Lansing!

Whitmer wants Michigan to be in gridlock. We plan to give her a gridlock in Lansing!

Stay in your vehicle as the “Whitmer police” will likely be out to enforce social distancing. That said we need to display our flags, take signs, make noise and make our unhappiness known!

While pushing her progressive agenda, our radical Governor has announced no plan of any kind to restart the economy. Of course, neither has the Legislature! Citizens can use Operation Gridlock to let Lansing know that citizens are FED UP and expect better.

To start, our radical Governor needs to treat us like adults (a/k/a taxpayers who fund her JOB) who are aware that we need to take steps to stay healthy. Apparently, she missed that being healthy INCLUDES having a JOB, opening your business SOON and keeping our Constitutional rights.

There is much to do, but let’s start in Lansing at noon on April 15. See you there!

Share this email with your FED UP friends, family, co-workers and neighbors. Let us know on our Facebook page that you’ll attend. Or follow us on InstaGram at mi_conservative_coalition
