Video: Associated Builders and Contractors of Michigan Encourages Voters to Vote 'No' on Proposal

 

ABC of Michigan president, Chris Fisher, encourages voters to vote 'No' on Proposal 2. In two minutes Fisher provides an overview of proposal 2 for ABC members, explaining how harmful this proposal would be to both workers and businesses in Michigan by permitting costly and discriminatory government-mandated PLAs, drastically increasing taxes and jeopardizing Michigan's economic recovery.

FREE Proposal 2 Yard Signs Now Available at ABC Offices

 

With the General Election less than two weeks away, ABC has been continuously working to fight PropVote No on 2osal 2 of 2012, which will appear on every Michigan voter's ballot on November 6th. Proposal 2 is not only dangerous to ABC members, but also to the future of Michigan. Proposal 2 would deny ABC members billions of dollars of work and overturn Michigan's anti-PLA law, along with 170 other  state laws. If this proposal passes, Michigan will be prevented from ever becoming a right-to-work state and Michigan taxpayers will experience the largest tax hike any state has ever seen.

 

It is now up to you and your colleagues to get the message out to vote 'NO' on Proposal 2. Please stop by your local chapter office to pick up your FREE Proposal 2 yard signs. Signs will be available at the following locations:
