We have not reached a single day of $2,000. fundraising yet this month. We need one today. That type of day has been our mainstay for 15 years. We had three 2K+ days in February.
We need one now.

Michigan Governor Says Protesters Against Stay-at-Home Order 'Might Have Just Created a Need to Lengthen It'
Catherine Garcia, The Week
Catherine Garcia, The Week
Garcia writes: "Demonstrators gathered in front of the Michigan State Capitol in Lansing on Wednesday - some staying in their cars, others getting out and standing shoulder-to-shoulder - to protest against the stay-at-home policy enacted by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) as a way to fight the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus."
EXCERPT:
The protest, called "Operation Gridlock," was organized by conservative groups arguing that Whitmer's order, which bans travel between homes and closes down non-essential businesses, is too strict. As of Wednesday night, Michigan had more than 28,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases, and the death toll stands at 1,921. The stay-at-home rules were enacted to prevent the COVID-19 outbreak from overwhelming the state's hospitals
