Constant TV ads for Gretchen Whitmer for Governor, hardly any for Schitty Schuette, her Repuke opponent.

Hopefully we flip Governor and the legislature. Now we just have to beat the gerrymandering on the US House districts.

We are going to legalize recreational MJ as well. So get ready...the Repuke ilk in IN is gonna get all upset about MJ coming across the border...lol. Like Colorado and Nebraska.

Puts it into the hands of an independent commission with open and fair hearings, like California. Sounds like it is gonna pass as well.

It was a real joy to sign the petition to get that one on the ballot.
