By Gina Johnsen

It wasn’t that long ago one could hear Louis Armstrong or another singer belt out the famous ballad What A Wonderful World. It’s a beautiful tune, a gentle two-step, with lyrics full of hope and wonder. A man of color singing about his wonderful life in a wonderful world, with nature, beauty, babies and love all around him.

Today, in our own wonderful community, an 84-yearold woman going door to door and sharing with neighbors about the worst ballot proposal the world has ever seen, gets shot in the shoulder. Why? Just because that neigh bor didn’t agree with her viewpoint on Proposal 3. What could have been a wonderful discussion, became a near death experience. So, what is behind Proposal 3 and why is it causing all this violence? It’s just politics and rheto ric, right? What’s the wonderful big deal?

Let’s examine Proposal 3, deceptively termed “Right to Reproductive Freedom Initiative”, which will forever change our Michigan Constitution, with no hope of any legislator altering it in the future. It overrides parental rights, giving super-rights to anyone who would like to exercise vague freedoms over any individual, minors included, in relation to reproductive organs, process es, transgender surgeries, abortions, sterilizations, cas trations, etc. The list is long with what it includes, like anytime abortion (after birth), by anyone (not a doctor), in any clinic or room or whatever, without oversight or question, with no parental consent or knowledge, deleting all current state laws and protections that might challenge any part of these new rights…this is evil!

Can you smell the aroma of people at the top of this food chain controlling victims and making a whole lot of money? What is the purpose of this proposal? Is it to promote childhood sexual anarchy? Every not-wonderful thing you can think of from pedophilia to sex-trafficking to rape to abuse of minors…all these included, without the benefit of current state laws that protect women, chil dren, and parents from these evils. Michigan Board of Canvassers states plainly that if this proposal passes, it will “invalidate all state laws that conflict with it” (which

are the current legal protections against it).

Additionally, Planned Parenthood’s multi-billion-dol lar industry, the ACLU, and Jane’s Revenge (a militant pro-abortion group) partner together to threaten any who would question their flow of revenue. In light of the chal lenges to this Proposal 3, pregnancy centers in Michigan found notes like this on their doors: “Warning: this is a fake clinic. If abortions aren’t safe, neither are you. Next time we will visit your homes, your churches, and your sponsors. Expect us.” And how interesting it is that the groups that claim they want abortion to be “safe and rare”, are the ones now threatening everyone’s lives and attempt ing to bully us all into submission. Who could possibly trust them?!

If you knew nothing at all about the topic of Proposal 3, but were aware of all the threats, the violence, the gun shots, and the hate, you might just be okay concluding that you would certainly vote NO on it. Who wants all that drama and violence?! Whether we are Christian or not, we all know good from evil. It is evil to encourage children to make decisions that will impact their lives irreversibly.

Enough said – it’s not wonderful!

Proposal 3 is actually simple. It turns parents into weak, powerless bystanders while enabling the government/ school to change and mold their children into physical ly unfit and abnormal barren young people. And there’s a whole lot of money in sex-trafficking, abortion, transgen der surgeries, and the sale of puberty-blocking drugs. The only thing stopping this flow of MONEY is us and our votes! Those of us who are committed to being informed are going to vote our consciences and emphatically say NO to this and the other two bad proposals on the Novem ber 8th ballot. Proposal 3 is actually the worst proposal the entire world has ever seen.

Satan has planted his flag in Michigan and thinks he will lead destruction of America right here in our home state. You might say he is trying to connect New York to Cali fornia via mid-American Michigan. Are we going to stop this movement? Are we going to admit this is wrong? Will we win this battle against such tremendous evil and gross assault on humanity? It’s up to us – VOTE NO and help us defeat it. Contact www.protectlifemi.org or www.support miwomenandchildren.org

Such appeal shall identify the matter being appealed and the basis for the appeal. The village council shall consider the appeal and decide whereby the action being appealed is affirmed, rejected or modified. In considering any such appeal, the village council may consider the recommendations of the authorized enforcement agency and the comments of other persons having knowledge or expertise regarding the matter. In considering any such appeal, the village council may grant a temporary variance from the terms of this chapter so as to provide relief, in whole or in part, from the action being appealed, but only upon finding that the following requirements are satisfied:

a. The application of the ordinance provisions being appealed will present or cause unnecessary hardship for the property or premises owner appealing; provided, however, that unnecessary hardship shall not include the need for a property or premises owner to incur additional reasonable expenses in order to comply with the part; and, b. The granting of the relief requested will not prevent accomplishment of the goals and purposes of this chapter, nor result in less effective management of groundwater.

In order that the provisions of this article may be reasonably applied and substantial justice done in instances where unnecessary hardship would result from carrying out the strict letter of these sections, the village zoning board of appeals shall consider appeals from the decision of the village council and to determine, in particular cases, whether any deviation from strict enforcement will violate the intent of this article or jeopardize the public health or safety or environment.

Appeals from orders of the village council may be made at the zoning board of appeals of the Village of Muir, within 30 days from the date of any citation, order, charge, fee, surcharge, from the date of any citation, order, charge, fee, surcharge, penalty or other action. The appellant shall file a notice of appeal with the zoning board of appeals, specifying the grounds therefor. Prior to a hearing, the village council shall transmit to the zoning board of appeals a summary report of all previous action taken. The zoning board of appeals may, at its discretion, call upon the village council to explain the action. The final disposition of the appeal shall be in the form of a resolution, either reversing, modifying, or affirming, in whole or in part, the appealed decision or determination.

The decision of the zoning board of appeals shall be final, except that the board or the members thereof may be required, under proper mandamus proceedings, to show cause why certain actions were taken or decisions rendered.

All charges for service, penalties, fees, or surcharges outstanding during any appeal process shall be due and payable to the village. Upon resolution of any appeal, the village shall adjust such amounts accordingly.

If an appeal is not demanded within the periods specified in this section, the administrative action shall be deemed final. In the event of an appeal, action shall be suspended until a final determination has been made, except for immediate cease and desist orders or any emergency or judicial action.

Appeals from determinations of zoning board of appeals may be made to the circuit court for the county as provided by law. The appeals shall be governed procedurally by the Administrative Procedures Act of 1969 (MCL 24.201 et seq.). All findings of fact, if supported by the evidence, made by the board shall be conclusive upon the court. "
